Is It Possible to Fix a Pergola to Your House?

Thinking about a "wall-mounted pergola"?

Essentially, this means your Aluminium Pergola is anchored to your home's exterior. This doesn't always imply that there are no support legs on the side attached to the house, but it's often an option.

Many homeowners prefer to fix their pergola to their home's rear to create an idyllic space that seamlessly merges indoor and outdoor living. This setup is perfect for hosting events in your garden, regardless of the weather.

When Should You Consider Attaching a Pergola to Your Home?

Choosing a wall-mounted Aluminium Pergola is advantageous in specific scenarios, particularly for creating a fluid transition between indoor and outdoor areas:

A wall-mounted aluminium pergola is a prime choice for those looking to blend their indoor and outdoor areas seamlessly. It extends your living space into the garden, facilitating easy movement between indoors and outdoors, ideal for entertaining guests.

Aluminium Pergola Attached to the House Creating a Cozy, Sheltered Outdoor Space:

For those dreaming of a cozy outdoor retreat shielded by all-around blinds, a wall-mounted pergola is a perfect solution. It attaches securely to your home and offers an open, airy space with options for sunlight and shade.

Aluminium Pergola Attached to the House - Preserving Uninterrupted Views:

While aluminium pergolas require support legs, these can sometimes block views or access from windows or doors at the back of your house. Wall mounting solves this issue by using your home for support, eliminating the need for obstructive legs.

Certain factors might hinder your ability to attach a pergola to your home. The construction of your house is a key consideration.

Homes built from lighter materials like wood or vinyl siding may not support the weight of a pergola. It's advisable to seek advice from a professional to see if reinforcements are possible.

Brick structures are ideal for pergola mounting. Ensure at least 25cm (height) of solid brickwork is available above your home's doors and windows to secure the pergola's roof beam.

The roof beam must sit flush against your home along its entire width. Obstructions like electrical outlets, vents, or guttering may need relocating to facilitate attachment.
