According to architect Wisnu Brata, ancient pergola can be easily found on buildings, Mediterranean-style house. The form was the form of wood or blocks arranged in rows and serves as a shade. Over the development period, the pergola is now present for various purposes. Such as, the pergola as a cover garage or carport.Something similar is said landscape architect Giwo Rubianto. According to him, the pergola is a shelter used by residents, for example, to walk from room service to the main building houses. "Above there pergola roof used to protect us from the sun and rain, which is supported by several rows of pillars on the left and right road," said Giwo.
When applied to the part of any home, the impression of dynamic and multifunctional raised pergola can still be felt. Evidently, its use not only as a garage roof or cover, but can be useful also as a means of playing children, as a substitute for the function of the terrace, or a place to be creative with the family.
Giwo said the pergola is not just an additional building whose function is to enhance your home. However, useful as well as supporting the needs of the main building. For example, the house does not have a terrace, automatic home does not have open space to relax. In this case you can take advantage of the pergola to support the open space requirement.Only, continued Giwo, pergola arrangement should be addressed. In a sense, generally a terrace furnished with two chairs next desk. So even with pergola design, should a similar principle. "Most importantly, note the resilience of these complementary elements. Make sure the furniture is resistant to heat and rainy weather changes, "he added.
Problem selection pergola form, you must be careful so that its presence does not destroy the concept of the main building houses. Therefore, before applying it at home, you should first consider the following points.The first consideration of the roof. Vishnu said, adjust the shape roof with the impression you want raised. Adjust it is with the building facade of the house. The roof forms to choose from, including a straight shape, saddle or inverted V shape, curved shape or a combination of all three forms mentioned above.As for structure, Vishnu said, you can choose to use the structure of the pole or structure without a pole or hanging. "For the type that uses a pole to use the structure of U shape or inverted L with a slope which is adjusted or the form of Y and V. Type of material for each structure you can choose according to their respective characters, "said Vishnu.
So even when choosing the type of roof covering materials and structures used in the pergola. Maybe some kind of material this could be your reference when determining the desired concept to make the pergola. Wood materials. In addition to more practical use than other materials such as concrete and metal, wood also gives a natural impression on your pergola. Wood materials are often used on simple concepts like minimalism.
For this type of metal material, this material tends to be more powerful and flexible than other materials. More widely used in building the concept of rich ornamentation, such as the classical model and the Mediterranean. Furthermore, the concrete material is more often used because of strong character. Ordinary concrete material combined with structural and other roof coverings.
The next consideration is the type of roof covering that is used for pergola. We recommend using a character roof covering is more durable and resistant to weather changes. Therefore, the roof is an area that frequently receives sunlight and rain water flow directly. The type of roof that you can choose, ie fiberglass, polycarbonate, aluminum, and not concrete.
