While a pergola may appear to be a simple structure, there are numerous designs and ideas that can transform it into something completely different, ranging from an extension of your living room to a separate outdoor recreational area.

In this context, we have compiled a list of the top ten backyard pergola ideas, each with their own distinct characteristics and purposes.

1. Wood and glass pergola panels. Our first example is an excellent beginning in the original pergola category. This one features additional wooden sliding panels and glass panels, as well as a glass door. All of the elements complement the house’s architectural design.
   
2. Pergola by the poolside. The concept behind this outdoor pergola is a little simpler. The long and short of it is that it is simply a standard pergola placed near the pool. The physical proximity to the water makes it an ideal resting spot after a swim, with all of the usual pergola benefits.
   
3. A hybrid pergola for the backyard. Another way to customise your standard pergola is to combine it with another type of outdoor structure. This example demonstrates a gazebo-pergola hybrid that makes the most of both: a dedicated platform with railings and free access to fresh air for everyone inside the structure.
   
4. Pergola with lights outside. Returning to the idea of attached pergolas, this example has at least two nearly solid walls, giving the impression of a separate recreational area, as well as LED lighting, making it ideal for late-night meals under the stars.
   
5. Pergola with mirrored surfaces. In terms of mirrors and pergola additions, this type of patio pergola takes advantage of the object’s facade, giving it a very modern appearance and the illusion of having two pergolas and a larger terrace.
