A traditional solution for covering a pergola is to grow climbing plants. If your pergola backs onto your house, it's advisable to choose deciduous plants that will let light through in winter. Be careful not to choose plants that may attract wasps or have a heady fragrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golden hops, kiwi and table vines are good options. If you prefer a flowering climber, wisteria may be a good option, but it will need regular pruning to prevent damage to the structure of your pergola. Another solution is to cover your pergola with bamboo or wicker canisses. These covers are attractive, economical and easy to install. They also let the air through, but need to be replaced often, as they deteriorate over time.<\/p>\n\n\n
