  Pergola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pergola, borrowed for English from Italian, mentioned in an Italian context in 1645 and used in an English context in 1675, is a garden feature forming a shaded walk or passageway of pillars that support cross beams and a sturdy open lattice, upon which woody vines are trained.
Pergolas may link pavilions, may extend from a building's door to an open garden feature such as an isolated terrace or pool, or may be entirely free-standing structures shading a length of walk.
An arbour or arbor is similar to a pergola, except that it is not a passageway for movement but a shaded sitting place, whose shape and dimensions may vary.
