Pergolas are a fabulous structural option that creates an additional room to extend outdoor living space for all year round. This outdoor living space provides an extra area on your property where you can dine, entertain, sit back and relax or read a book whilst enjoying being outdoors.

Two Types of Pergola Structures
The main two types of pergola structures are; a freestanding pergola and the other is an extension to an existing structure. Freestanding pergolas are more commonly built away from existing structures for personal reasons such as; there may not be sufficient room to build a pergola, some may choose a freestanding pergola away from the house for a more peaceful and secluded setting where they do not want any interruptions and some even utilize a freestanding pergola more for the decorative impact. A pergola that is extended from an existing structural building where room is not an issue is a popular choice especially in residential back yards. Most home owners opt for this structure as the pergola is extended from the back or side of the house structure which creates a more flowing affect.
Types of Pergola Materials
There are various types of building materials that pergolas can be built from and this choice is a personal one. The most common types of building materials for the building frame structure of the pergola are; timber, aluminum and steel. Timber is a natural material and is often used to build the frame of the pergola. If you have opted for timber, you need to ensure that the timber has been treated. The important aspect of treated timber is that it protects the timber from various natural and non natural elements. Treated timber has good durability values, good resistance values from weather conditions and another important issue is it stops termite infestation in the timber.
Aluminum pergola frames also have great values, as it is durable, has great strength qualities, long lasting, will not rust and many powder coating colors to choose from. Steel frames are another material that pergola frames can be built from, again steel has great strength and durability qualities, will not rot, and color will not fade as there also many colors to choose from. So, whether you have opted for timber, aluminum or steel for the pergola frame we can take the time out and explain to our clients all of the benefits to each type of material.
Pergola Roof
There are several materials and designs you can choose for the roof of the pergola and this depends on which material you have chosen for the pergola frame. For example, if you have chosen timber for the frame of the pergola, it's a wise choice to also choose timer for the roof frame. So, whatever material you have chosen for the pergola frame, stick with that same material for the roof frame.
