A pergola can shape the space without closing it in.
Define The Outdoor Area
A pergola can give an outdoor area clearer shape while keeping the space open to light and air. WJG Built builds pergolas across the Northern Rivers for homeowners who want to improve a deck, patio, poolside area, garden edge or entertaining space without fully enclosing it.
We can help you compare open-frame designs, battened shade, partial cover, post placement and material options, while also looking at sun direction, airflow, rooflines and how the structure will connect with the home. The goal is a pergola that defines the area without making the outdoor space feel heavy or closed in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best material for a pergola?
Pergolas can be built from timber, aluminium, steel or composite materials depending on the appearance, maintenance level and exposure. Timber can suit homes wanting a warmer or more natural look, while metal structures may suit cleaner lines and lower upkeep. The best material depends on weather exposure, desired finish and how the pergola connects with the rest of the property.
Can you put lights or fans in a pergola?
Lights, ceiling fans and outdoor electrical fittings can often be added to pergolas, depending on the structure and roof type. These additions may improve evening use, airflow and visibility around outdoor dining or seating areas. Wiring, fixing points and weather exposure should be planned before the pergola is built rather than added later.
What is the best roof for a pergola?
The best pergola roof depends on how much weather protection and natural light you want. Open battens can keep the area lighter and more ventilated, while polycarbonate or insulated roofing can provide stronger cover from sun and rain. The right choice also depends on surrounding trees, nearby windows and how exposed the outdoor area is.
Give The Backyard More Structure
A pergola should match the way the outdoor area is used, whether it needs to soften direct sun, frame a dining setting or connect with an existing deck or patio. We help you work through decisions such as:
- Whether an open, battened or partially covered design makes more sense
- Where posts can sit without cutting through walkways or furniture zones
- How the structure will connect to nearby walls, rooflines or garden areas
- Which materials will handle exposure while matching the home’s exterior
- How shade changes through the day and affects nearby indoor rooms
