Is it feasable to move the dining area pergola beside the other one to make one large space? They look similiar.

I would move the dining table and chairs next to the BBQ and create a seating/conversation area where you have the dining table.

Set up another Tiki Bar with it.

I'd increase the size of the dining pergola so it can also have sofa and chairs space. Also adding a bar with frig to support the seating. Maybe a tv also.

I agree with @Rho Dodendron to switch the two spaces because it's natural for the dining space to be near the kitchen. Move the current seating area where the dining is and add a couple lounge chairs next to that pergola to drape towels over when needed.

Not sure how much sun those pergolas block but perhaps consider adding a wind sail under the seating area one to have better shade there, and/or add some Coolaroo roll shades to the sides of the pergola.

Yes, I would reverse the function of the areas. I, also, very deliberately, have a dining patio near the kitchen and a separate distant patio for lounging overlooking the rear garden. If there is no food on the table, guests will be compelled to gravitate to the sitting area further away. It functions great for us!

I agree with the previous suggestions to swap the dining table with sofa and chairs. The dining table closer to the grill makes more sense.

Perhaps you can move the pergola next to the one where you have the seating area.

looks like the dining pergola gets more sun. Would a shade on one of the sides help?

That far area just doesn’t look welcoming. The gardens need to be lush to hide the fencing and add a great chandelier. I like the idea of moving the seating area there and keeping the table near the house.

Chase lounges under the pergola for use not when having a bbq. Beautiful back yard! Love it.
