Pergolas: Your Options

Attached or freestanding. Shade a lanai edge, or set it out over a dining area, hot tub or fire pit.
Wood and stain. Built in wood and finished on site in the stain color you choose.
Clear roof option. Add roof panels above the rafters for rain protection with the open look.
Sized to the house. Proportioned to the patio, the house and the view.
What goes with it. Pavers, seat walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens and lighting are often part of the same design.

Merriam-Webster describes a pergola as posts and beams holding up an open roof of girders and cross rafters, so it filters the sun rather than blocking it completely.

Pergolas in Ponte Vedra Beach: What's Different

Pergolas in Ponte Vedra Beach. Ponte Vedra Beach pergolas tend to frame a view: the fairway in Sawgrass Players Club, the marsh in Marsh Landing or the ocean east of A1A. Because so many lots are seen from a golf course or the water, the back of the pergola matters as much as the front, and we show both views in AutoCAD.

Your neighborhood's architectural review comes first. In Ponte Vedra Beach, the review board will want to see how the pergola ties into the house, the roof material and color, and where it sits relative to the setbacks. We show all of it in the AutoCAD design and on a scaled site plan on your survey. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

St. Johns County permits. Ponte Vedra Beach is in St. Johns County, which issues the building permit, usually after a clearance sheet, and automatically notifies registered architectural review associations. A recorded Notice of Commencement is required for most permitted projects. See our St. Johns County permit guide.

If you like a green canopy, UF/IFAS points out that Florida vines such as crossvine or trumpet creeper can be grown on pergolas for shade.
