2. Choose the right material
Pergolas can be made of different materials, such as wood, metal or PVC, for example. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Wood is warm and natural, but it requires maintenance and can be more susceptible to weather.
El PVC is easy to maintain and resistant to moisture, but may not be as durable as other materials.
Therefore, if you are looking for a pergola that combines functionality, durability and aesthetics, it is vital to consider the material with which it is made.
Hence aluminum pergolas, like the ones we offer at Six96, are an increasingly popular option.
And we hope you are sitting down because here comes a good series of advantages:
- Aluminum is a light and resistant material that offers numerous advantages for the manufacture of pergolas. Firstly, it is a durable material that does not corrode or rust, which means that aluminum gazebos can withstand the rigors of the weather without the need for constant maintenance.
- In addition, aluminum pergolas are easy to clean and maintain. They do not need to be painted or treated with any type of protector, which means that you will not have to spend time or money on their maintenance.
- Another important advantage of aluminum pergolas is their versatility in terms of design, not to mention that They are fire resistant.
- Let's not forget that aluminum pergolas can be painted in a wide range of colours, which means you can customize them to suit the aesthetics of your garden and home.
- They are also an excellent choice from an environmental point of view. Aluminum is a 100% recyclable material and it can be recycled over and over again without losing its properties. This means that when the time comes to replace your pergola, you can recycle it without worry.
3. Decide on the size and shape
The size and shape of the pergola depend on your needs and the space available in your pool.
If you have a large pool, you can opt for a larger pergola with multiple seating areas. Obviously, if you have a small pool, a pergola that rests on the property may be more suitable for your space.
