There are many structures you can add to your backyard to
liven it up, but perhaps the most popular today is a pergola. These structures
are large and can be designed using many different materials. Here are several
that are sweeping this market, and for good reason.
Wood
Wood is one of the most popular materials, sought after
by many, because of its natural beauty. Each wood piece is different from the
next so you can create a dynamic effect in your backyard. In the wood category,
you can use teak, redwood, mahogany, and cedar. All of these choices are
resistant to warping and rotting.
Metal
In terms of durability, it is hard to beat a metal
pergola. You can use it to give your backyard a rustic, aged look. It can last
for many years, but does have a tendency of rusting. Thankfully, you can buy
metal materials that have been galvanized so that they last for a long time in
any environment. If the metal is not galvanized, you can always go back and
apply a powder-coat to it.
PVC
You may not have a lot of time to maintain your pergola
over the years, in which case a PVC pergola is ideal. Thick PVC sections provide
durability that wood simply can’t match. This material usually comes in a white
color, a coveted feature if you want to bring warmth to your backyard.
The materials you use when building a pergola are
important to consider. The choice is easy when you think about factors like
costs, availability, and durability.
