Although many pergolas are designed to be open-air structures, there are occasions when you may want one to be a little more secure and private. By having a pergola gate , you can address both issues. You may either put a gate on an existing pergola, or you can add a pergola above your gate to highlight your entrance and add some protection from the weather. Some gates are so wonderfully made that they entice the eye and add a lot of charm to your property. For those who have a place that should be closed off for any reason, a pergola gate may be the solution you are looking for.
There are a lot of instances when people might like having a deck which can be closed off. For instance, if you have small children who enjoy playing on the deck, using a gate would be a great means of keeping the kids inside the specific area. Naturally, on a deck the gate doesn’t necessarily have to be mounted on a pergola, but occupying all or a part of your deck with a pergola can make it a far more useful space. The pergola will provide shade and keep out some rain while the gate will close the place off to anyone but your own family members. In effect, it is like creating a little room on the rear of your house.

A half-hour sitting here discussing the property with Joy and Remax Team Realty consultant Lynne Stevens was enough to leave me reluctant to get up and head back to an antiseptic air-conditioned office.
The location here is sufficiently attractive in itself, without the added appeal of this architect-designed residence and its variety of outstanding features.
Spencer Pl is an entrancing setting - a cul de sac off Awanui St that drops down towards a curve of the Te Henui River. Joy and John's home is set at the end of a right-of-way lined with flowering cherry trees - a suitable welcome in this street that also features Taranaki's sole Garden of International Significance and where homes back on to the popular Te Henui Walkway.
Today's feature home is a striking cedar-clad multi-level residence stacked up the side of a lushly planted slope and looks across to reserve land that borders the river.
