We offer kits that are made of vinyl, fiberglass, and wood in standard and custom models. You may be asking why we offer so many material and design choices. The answer is simple, pergolas are as much an aesthetic choice as they are a practical choice. No one material or design will meet all needs or tastes, so contact us for a free consultation.
Our viny pergolas are guaranteed for life against yellowing, cracking, chalking and other manufacturing defects for as long as you own it. We didn't try to reinvent the wheel when designing these pergolas. We relied on the proven success of wood pergola designs that have been built for fine homes for centuries. We converted these designs to incorporate low maintenance, long lasting materials using our extensive experience and the knowledge of the industry's leading engineering experts.
Fiberglass pergolas and columns should be painted. Fiberglass does not absorb moisture, so paint will adhere much longer. This, in effect, more than doubles the life of the paint. So with a good quality paint you may go 7 to 10 years or longer before recoating.
Now for the great news. A fiberglass pergola allows you to match your house trim color exactly. Or any other color that you want to match! Now you can have the look and adaptability of wood without all of the maintenance issues of wood.
Wood has long been a favorite material for building fine pergolas and arbors. Naturally rot resistant, cedar is easily worked and finishes beautifully with stain or paint. And it looks great if left natural as well - weathering to a silver gray. A wood pergola allows us the greatest design flexibility with regard to size, shape and detailing.
