Aluminum pergolas are weather-resistant, meaning they will not rot or rust. You can leave them metal for a modern look, but if you want the traditional look and durability of aluminum, you can make them look like wood.
For an even more modern look, you can build a louvered pergola aluminum. Although they may be more expensive, they are worth it in the long run due to their durability and less maintenance.
Why are aluminum pergolas popular?
Aluminum is more durable than wood because it does not:
- warp;
- rot
- crack.
The pergola will be resistant to fire and termites. Aluminum pergolas will last for many years without requiring maintenance.
Although aluminum is more robust than wood, it is also lighter. If you live in a windy area, your aluminum pergola may fall and damage the structure. For this reason, it is better to build them on existing decks, which may not support the weight of a wooden pergola.
Advantages of an aluminum pergola
Aluminum pergolas have many advantages. They will become perfect for your backyard for several reasons:
Flexibility
You create a truly flexible outdoor living space that you can enjoy in any weather all year round, allowing you to spend more time outdoors while making memories with the people you love.
Aluminum pergolas come with adjustable louvered roof systems. This means you can choose between sunbathing, perfect shade, or waterproofing in seconds. They are designed to make the most of sunlight in good weather and provide complete protection from rain by draining water into reservoirs away from your entertaining space.
Durable and reliable
There’s nothing worse than strong winds blowing your umbrella off or frantically trying to pull down your canvas awning. Aluminum pergolas attach to your patio/deck and are permanent structures that are resistant to winds up to 70 mph. These are true high-quality structures that can withstand all weather conditions and enhance your living space.
Customizable
You may be looking for the perfect grilling and dining area or an open room that flows into the back of the house, with blinds on all sides and heaters on the patio, creating a cozy outdoor sanctuary. You may need a fire pit and LED lighting, which are ideal for entertaining and creating ambiance. Whatever you dream of doing in your garden, your pergola can be adapted to suit it.
Exceptional aesthetics
High-quality aluminum pergolas are stunning and will transform the back of your home or outdoor space. You usually find them at the back of the world’s best hotels and restaurants: they add pure class.
Low operating costs
Aluminum pergolas can be more costly options than others, but they definitely need less maintenance than other options, because of metal properties.
