What is A Freestanding Patio?

A free-standing patio or pergola is called free standing because it’s built separately from the house. It’s a separate structure that is usually built in the backyard.

Building a pergola in your outdoor space has many benefits. First, pergola will create a cozy private space where you can relax with a cup of coffee and a book on a beautiful sunny day, or have family and guest dinners. Second, if you like having outdoor furniture in your back yard, a free-standing patio cover will protect it from rain, wind and other weather elements. A little tip: if you add a canvas canopy to your pergola, you will add even more privacy to your space and will be protected from chilly and rainy weather.

Nowadays you can choose from many free standing patio designs and styles. You can add plants, vines, hanging lights and other decor to make your free-standing patio even cosier.
