  When looking for ways to enhance the landscaping of your home, choose a pergola with an accompanying shade. Pergolas are lattice-topped wooden structures used for hanging plants in gardens. Choose to accentuate your pergola with a shade from Australian landscape accessory company, Coolaroo. A variety of Coolaroo canopies exist for pergolas. Choose your shade design based on the function of the pergola in your yard.
  
  

Garden Privacy

• Pergolas are a great option for adding a nook in your garden. They help separate the foliage with an attractive structure. Add to the serenity of your garden pergola by adding a Coolaroo Premier Sun Shade to hide unwanted sights and keep away visitors. Install your shade around the perimeter of your pergola leaving one side open as an entrance. The Premiere Sun Shade is breathable so you don't have to sacrifice the breeze on a cool Spring day.
  
  

Sun Protectant

• One of the key features of Coolaroo shade products is weather resistance. This includes keeping the sweltering heat from your pergola retreat during even the hottest months in the Summer. Add a bright Terra Cotta Coolaroo shade to the roof of your pergola to help ward off the sun. The dark color will help absorb heat while adding color to your garden structure. Install a hammock inside the pergola so that you can relax outdoors in the warmth.
  
  

Extend a Porch

• Some pergolas are added to the front of a home as an architectural accessory. In this case, they protrude from the home like a small porch. Extend this space using Shade Sails offered by Coolaroo. You can layer the Shade Sails to incorporate a range of color in your landscape. Shade Sails come in a triangular design that resembles tension fabric displays. This shade display is a suitable option for homeowners seeking a whimsical style for their landscape.
