The history of the pergola can be traced back to ancient China and ancient Egypt. Although they may be called differently, the function of providing shading area is still in use today. The contemporary Australian pergola style originated in England and Italy in the 17th century. Since then, new materials have been applied to provide people with pergola with shade and rain protection.
