Your backyard should be an outdoor oasis where you can escape, unwind, and have a fun time. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case. It can be hard to relax and enjoy your outdoor space if you don't have privacy from your neighbors. Similarly, spending time outside on a hot day without any shade doesn't match most people's definition of a fun time.
While planting some tall trees around the perimeter of your yard or close to your deck can grant you the shade and privacy you long for, there are many reasons why this might not be a desirable or feasible solution for you. Trees take time to grow and deliver the desired coverage, and they are not always easy to plant. Plus, if you're renting your home, you don't have the freedom to make such permanent modifications to the yard's landscaping. Fortunately, there are other solutions that will help you shade your backyard and make it a more private retreat.
When you're looking for an affordable way to add shade to a treeless backyard, a pergola offers an optimal solution. It's a relatively simple structure, often constructed from wood or vinyl. Its design consists of columns on the sides that support a roof of rafters or a solid material. This blocks the sunlight to provide a cooler spot to those sitting under the pergola, but users can still enjoy the sites and sounds of nature.
