Choosing aluminum pergolas is a smart and calculated move. Aluminum is an excellent raw material for constructing external structures. It’s extremely weather-resistant, and requires minimal maintenance. As opposed to wooden pergolas, which require annual maintenance including painting and oiling, the aluminum pergola doesn’t require any of that. There are corrosion-resistant pergolas designed specifically for the beach-area. While wooden pergolas age and their beauty fades, which leads to replacing them, aluminum pergolas are durable for years, and don’t wear out. They stay beautiful and impressive, and when compared to wooden pergolas built in the same year, the difference is obvious.
