Steel Pergola with Cedar Purlins
When it comes to metal pergolas, the keyword is durability. While metal is a more expensive material than wood, its ability to last much longer with little maintenance can offset the cost. They are also easy to clean, requiring only a quick pressure wash now and then.
Our client had a vision for this gorgeous Pergola that we co-designed and constructed for her. It’s solid as a rock, engineered and flashed into the structure of the house. The end result saves on cooling bills for the house and provides a respite from the unrelenting southern sun exposure.
Metal pergolas can be constructed from different metals like steel or aluminum. Steel pergolas have the advantage of being much stronger than aluminum (important if you live in high-wind areas). When you galvanize the steel and add a powdered coating, it becomes almost impervious to rust and corrosion while making it highly resistant to chipping, scratching, and UV damage.
And because metal can be made to be both thin and durable, metal pergolas can be made to have narrower and sleeker designs that wood just can’t match. Finally, metal can be recycled at the end of its lifespan, which means this pergola won’t end up in a landfill like wooden options often do.
