Which place is the best spot in my backyard for a pergola?

You can place a pergola anywhere in your backyard but if looking for specific locations, it can be over your outdoor dining area, along the side of a pool, or if you have a fireplace, you can fix it next to it. Even if you have a hot tub, you can place a pergola over it. In other ways, you can construct a pergola over your pathway making your entrance beautiful.

Which material should I choose for building a pergola?

Be it a traditional or modern pergola, we provide a wide range of options for our customers to choose between wood, aluminium, vinyl, alumawood, steel, and wood–plastic components. Depending on your preference and budget, we suggest you the best material to build a beautiful pergola.

Should I prefer a pre-fabricated pergola or a tailor-made one?

Pre-fabricated kits are easy to install but you can only attach add-ons and cannot make any changes in the design, whereas custom-built pergolas can give you plenty of options and intrinsic designs to decorate your home/building. We are experts in providing tailor-made designs for you to flexibly choose the size, shape, material, colour and columns.

How much should I invest to build a pergola for my place?

The price of a pergola may vary upon the size, material and design complexity you choose. You can expect the price at anywhere from between $500 and $5,000, since the labour cost can be slightly high when opting for a custom design. If you order a pre-fabricated kit, it can cost you less than a tailor-made one.

Why Aluminium Pergola Tops Amongst Retractable or CNC Cut Pergola?

Pergolas are one of the favorite open-air structures for gardens and backyard spaces, forming walkways, sitting areas, or a place to train woody vines. These structures are perfect as they allow access to sunlight but also shelter from direct rays. They help create a dedicated space to decorate with plants, keep furniture, or socialize. These structures come with extensive design options in terms of shape, colors, the material used, and features.

While pergolas are often confused with a gazebo or pavilion, they are different by not providing full shade. However, pergolas come with various customizable options as per your requirement. Pergolas truly are the perfect blend of aesthetics and benefits.

Why do aluminium pergolas top amongst all the other types?

Aluminium is known for its functionality as it can take any form, size, or design without compromising on sturdiness. Hence, the options for customization are unlimited.
When we say that it’s highly customizable, it means that you can paint it with different colors, give it varied designs, or even integrate it with LED lights and designer fans.
Aluminium is stronger but lighter than wood, which makes the assembly and installation very easy. There are ready-to-install kits in the market which enable people to directly assemble it in their backyard with ease.
It is technically maintenance-free. It can not only withstand harsh weather conditions, but it is also NOT prone to pest infestation, fire, mold, rot, or warping. Similarly, cleaning it is simple and might need only water and soap.
Wood pergolas may need frequent sanding or staining, which adds to the maintenance costs. Aluminum pergolas may have a higher up-front cost but less to no maintenance costs. Hence, aluminium is a smarter investment in the long run.
It can be customized by powder coating which increases its longevity and offers better value for money. Such customized chemical treatments can be requested during the making of the pergola.
An aluminium pergola is technology-friendly and can give life to your creativity. It can have automated sensors integrated into them, which respond to weather changes like wind or rain. It provides ultimate protection for your belongings or furniture.
