Pergolas: Stone Shade

Reviewed by:

Backyard pergolas provide dappled shade without closing in the outdoors. In this model, wooden columns, the material of choice for pergolas in years past, has been replaced with longer-lasting composite materials, such as these engineered-stone columns.

Made with portland cement, sand and mineral pigments, the columns have the rugged good-looks of stone without the weight.

This product can be used inside or out and the manufacturer suggests that it replicates the look of limestone, brownstone, coralstone, granite and other natural stone products.
