Wood, vinyl, or aluminum: which pergola is best for you?

When making the decision for what kind of material you want your pergola to be made out of, it is best to do your thinking outside.

Standing in your current outdoor space, how can you see the aesthetics best enhanced? Perhaps you are envisioning a particular color or a modern (or rustic) vibe. Maybe you can even vividly imagine the scent of cedar wafting towards you?

It is important to imagine yourself not only utilizing the space for fun, but performing routine maintenance as well. Try to be as realistic as possible. Although you may have great visions of spending a weekend every two years sanding and restaining your beloved wooden pergola, if your summer schedule is often hectic and crammed already, you might find yourself slacking on this necessary upkeep that may vastly shorten the longevity of your investment. If a quick pressure wash every now and then is more your style, you will do well to go with vinyl or aluminum. If you&#;re looking for good quality and something more sophisticated which you can entirely customize, aluminum pergolas are made for you.

In the end, whichever pergola you choose is likely to become a permanent addition to your home, so you should make sure that you are completely content with your decision before moving forward with the project.

Before starting to understand what are the benefits of choosing one material rather than another, a clarification is needed: aluminum pergolas have a structure (posts and crosspieces) in extruded and powder-coated aluminum, but they can have two types of roofs. The roof can be made either of aluminum blades or of a technical fabric resistant to UV rays and rain, which is packed thanks to aluminum intermediate section profiles. Both versions are motorized and controlled by the remote control or the application.

Pergolas usually range in size from 3×2, 3×3 to 5×3 meters, but they are always made to measure and are designed to enhance areas of the house that would otherwise be little used, such as gardens or terraces which are usually very exposed to the sun and bad weather. Unlike a simple gazebo, pergolas are structures designed to be very resistant, it is therefore important that they are made of excellent materials and have great aesthetics, so as to integrate perfectly into any architectural context and become almost an integral part of the house.
