Questions We Get a Lot
Aluminum pergolas are lightweight, rust-resistant, and require very little upkeep, making them a great long-term choice for most climates. Cedar wood pergolas offer a natural, warm aesthetic and are naturally resistant to moisture and insects, but may benefit from periodic sealing or staining to maintain their appearance over time. The right choice comes down to your style preference and how much maintenance you are comfortable with.
Most of our pergolas are designed with DIY assembly in mind and arrive as a kit with the components needed for you to put together at home. Assembly difficulty varies by size and material, so we recommend reviewing the product description and any included instructions before you begin. Having a second person on hand for larger structures makes the process much smoother.
The right size depends on how you plan to use the space and the footprint you are working with. Smaller structures like 8x8 or 10x10 work well for intimate seating areas or dining spaces, while larger footprints like 10x12 offer more coverage for entertaining. We recommend measuring your intended space and leaving a comfortable buffer around the perimeter before deciding.

About Our Pergolas
A pergola is one of the most versatile structures you can add to an outdoor space. At its core, it is an open framework that defines an area of your yard, deck, or patio while providing partial shade and a sense of architectural intention. For homeowners who want their backyard to feel like a true extension of the home, a pergola creates that boundary between open lawn and purposeful living space without closing off the sky entirely. They are well suited for dining areas, lounging spaces, or garden walkways where a little structure goes a long way. When choosing a pergola, consider the primary material, as wood offers natural warmth and a classic look, while metal options like powder-coated aluminum tend to require less maintenance over time. Think about the size of your space, how much shade coverage you want, and whether you plan to add curtains, lighting, or climbing plants down the road. A well-chosen pergola becomes the quiet anchor of a backyard you actually want to spend time in.
