Pergola also known as Arbor, is a �garden feature forming a shaded walkway, a passageway or sitting area of vertical posts or pillars that usually support cross-beams and a sturdy open lattice; often upon which woody vines are trained.� It is a type of Gazebo. Pergola may also be an �extension of a building or serve as protection for an open terrace or a link between pavilions.� I know you've seen this to a few fairy tale or romantic films. It looks so adorable and beautiful, isn't it? Some people think Pergola is the same with green tunnels, but they're not.

Pergola comes from the Latin word 'pergula' which means 'projecting eave'. The term Pergola was first mentioned by John Evelyn at the cloister of Trinit� dei Monti in Rome in 1645. The term was used in the English context when �in the company of the fifth Earl of Pembroke, Evelyn watched the coursing of hares from a 'pergola' built on the downs near Salisbury for that purpose.�
