People, who have installed a pergola - could you tell me, what is better: a freestanding one or one that is attached to the house? My plot allows for both, but I am afraid that the wall-mounted one will be worse ventilated, and the freestanding one will be more difficult to connect light or drainage. I want something visually clean, but also functional - with the ability to control the roof, so that there is shade when needed. Share, who made your choice, how and why?

I went through exactly the same choice! I sat with drawings, checking where the light falls, how the shadow lies... In the end, the information about Pergola Bioclimatique - Equinox Louvered Roof helped a lot. You can visit this page and read it. I ended up with a freestanding pergola, but not out of aesthetics - it's just that the site is so organized that it would have been a problem to attach it to the house. If you have a view from all sides or an open area, a freestanding one is a better choice. Maybe my advice will help you create a cozy area in your home.
I'm sitting with the same doubts. I think that autonomous gives more flexibility, but I want to hear real feedback
