What's the difference between an arbor and a pergola?

An arbor is smaller (typically 2-4 feet deep) and used to frame a path or entry. A pergola is larger and covers a patio or deck seating area.

Can I install an arbor myself?

Small arbors can be DIY, but custom arbors with proper anchoring and integrated lighting are best left to professionals.
