    		A pergola is a free-standing arbor whereas a verandah is an open porch attached to an edifice.

    		A veranda has a roof, and is often partly enclosed by a rail or fence. It often is attached to the house on more than one side. Think old colonial buildings with a swing chair on it.
    A pergola isn't attached to a building and is like a gazebo.

    A pergola is a flat or pitched roofed structure (usually open-aired, shade cloth roofing or shade batons).
    A verandah is a flat, pitched, double pitched or gable roof structure (fully roofed).
