Do Pergolas Really Block the Sun?

By any definition, pergolas are some of the most beautiful and elegant structures homeowners can add to an outdoor living space. Their architectural designs and modern components help to make pergolas the ideal option for homeowners looking to transform their backyard into a beautiful oasis. But, many homeowners also want to know, do they actually block sunlight?

The truth is, pergolas don’t completely block the sun. They provide partial shade for outdoor areas. But, by partially blocking the sun, pergolas can still provide some shade for areas that are constantly bathed in sunlight. This transforms sweltering, unbearable spots outdoors into comfortable spaces where homeowners can still enjoy all of the perks of being outside.

American Home Design has been so wonderful! Even after having our system for 6 months now, they still follow up with us to make sure we are still happy with our system to make sure everything is still working properly. I’ve never had anyone from any company stay in contact like that to make sure we are satisfied.

American Home Design was fantastic! They were personable and professional at the same time, cleaned up any mess left over from the work done, and was super accommodating. We will definitely be calling them for any future bathroom remodel needs!
