GLOSSARY
Pergola
A pergola is an open frame of posts and beams that shades a patio or walkway without a solid roof. In the records we hold the term covers the frame, its footings and any canopy or louvre added to it.
Detail
About Pergola
Drawings show the post spacing and footings, the beam and rafter layout, and how the structure is braced and anchored against wind. Scope is driven by the span and by whether the pergola is attached to a building or freestanding. Pergola records commonly appear with patio, deck and column headings.
FLORIDA PERMIT DATA
In the records
"pergola" appears in 1,427 matching permits in the Florida records we analyzed.
A permit can match more than one term, so these counts are not additive and adding two of them together overstates the total.
