A trellis is similar to a fence in that it does not have a top and is mostly used to build a wall or division between spaces. It can also be placed adjacent to the walls of your home for an added architectural element. A pergola is a larger structure usually covering a patio area. It has a top and two sides like an arbor but much larger. All of these structures have become sort of interchangeable and are sometimes called the same thing because there are so many similar types and styles on the market. Keep in mind that it really doesn’t matter what you call these structures. If you like the way it looks and if it serves the function you are looking for then that it all that should really matter.
