Pergola

Types of Pergolas

At Smart Patio Plus, we understand that selecting the right type of pergola can dramatically enhance your outdoor living space. Let’s explore the variety available to you.

Wooden Pergolas

Wooden pergolas offer a classic charm that complements any outdoor setting. They can be customized with various types of wood, including cedar and redwood, to match your aesthetic preferences.

Metal Pergolas

Metal pergolas, constructed from materials like aluminum or steel, provide a modern twist and are known for their durability and low maintenance.

Vinyl Pergolas

Vinyl pergolas are a fantastic, maintenance-free option that resists weathering, rot, and fading, ensuring your outdoor space remains beautiful for years to come.

Pergola Design Ideas

Whether you’re envisioning a cozy corner for reading or a grand outdoor dining area, the design possibilities with pergolas are endless. Incorporating elements like hanging plants or integrating our StruXure patio cover system can transform your space into an outdoor oasis.

Pergola Installation

At Smart Patio Plus, we pride ourselves on our expert installation services. Our team works diligently to ensure your pergola is set up efficiently and to your satisfaction, providing a seamless addition to your outdoor area.

Benefits of Having a Pergola

A pergola not only enhances the beauty of your outdoor space but also increases the usability of your patio or garden year-round, providing shade during hot days and a structure for outdoor lighting and heating elements for cooler evenings.

Pergola vs Gazebo

While both pergolas and gazebos offer outdoor shelter, pergolas are distinct for their open lattice roofs that allow for partial sunlight, as opposed to gazebos which typically have a solid roof construction for full shade and shelter.

Maintaining a Pergola

Maintenance varies by material, but generally, pergolas require minimal upkeep. For our aluminum Smart Patio Plus structures, occasional cleaning with mild soap and water is all that’s needed to keep them looking their best.

Pergola Accessories

Accessories like curtains, lighting, and fans can enhance comfort and add a personal touch to your pergola. Our StruXure systems are compatible with a variety of accessories, allowing for a truly customized outdoor living experience.

Growing Plants on a Pergola

Climbing plants like ivy, wisteria, or grapevines can add natural beauty and shade to your pergola, creating a living roof that evolves with the seasons.

Pergola Lighting Options

From integrated LED lighting in our StruXure systems to traditional string lights, lighting options for pergolas are diverse and can set the perfect mood for any occasion.

DIY Pergola Kits

For the hands-on homeowner, DIY pergola kits provide all the necessary components for you to build your own pergola. However, for those seeking a custom solution, our Smart Patio Plus team is here to help design and install the pergola of your dreams.

Pergola Construction Materials

Choosing the right materials is crucial for the durability and aesthetics of your pergola. Our StruXure systems use sustainable, fully extruded aluminum for maximum longevity and minimal environmental impact.

Pergola Roofing Options

Roofing options range from traditional slatted designs to innovative systems like our StruXure covers that can pivot or slide open, offering the versatility to adjust the amount of sunlight your outdoor space receives.
