A pergola always brings extra aesthetic value to a patio or a garden, the ideal spaces to relax and socialize with the family and friends on those cool summer evenings. In combination with climbing plants, hanging potted flowers, side wicker screens, pergolas turn into the epicenter of either socializing activities or time spent by oneself. Here is a curios look at several wooden pergola design ideas in search of an inspiring example.
