Pergola - A framework immitating walls and ceiling without obscuring the view. Pergolas are often used in the landscape to create vertical interest or to obscure or distract from unattractive underlying attributes.
Pergolas are often referred to as an arbour , or arbor or trellis in the Southern United States.
An Arbour can be defined generally as a small pergola or decorative structure indicating an entrance to a yard or a focal point. Arbours often have a small gated passageway beneath. Normally an arbour will contain 2 or 4 support posts.
A Trellis is typically is a structure that contains latticework for vines to climb and display on in the summer months.
