The linear members of trellises and pergolas can provide a moderate degree of
definition and enclosure for outdoor spaces while allowing filtered sunlight and
breezes to penetrate.
Vertical and horizontal linear elements together can define a volume of space
such as the solarium illustrated to the right. Note that the form of the volume
is determined solely by the configuration of the linear elements.
