Pergolas

Pergolas

Pergolas are a sought-after feature in backyard landscaping and design across Florida.  They enhance the aesthetics of your outdoor space while providing essential functionality, such as shade and a designated area for relaxation and entertainment.  Pergolas are an excellent way to define specific areas in your backyard without obstructing the view of your garden and other landscaping elements.

Materials

Pergolas can be constructed using various materials, including wood, vinyl, aluminum, or steel.  However, when considering cost, durability, and maintenance, wood and aluminum are popular choices.  Cedar and redwood are favored for their natural resistance to rot and insects, while aluminum offers a low-maintenance, long-lasting alternative.

Cost and Maintenance

When evaluating the cost and maintenance of your custom pergola, consider Florida’s weather conditions and how different materials will fare.  Wood pergolas, while beautiful, require regular maintenance to prevent decay and insect damage.  Aluminum pergolas, on the other hand, offer a more durable and low-maintenance option, making them ideal for the humid Florida climate.
