Pergolas & Decking, Adelaide

When deciding on the right pergola for your home, take into consideration the size and shape of the area.

Firstly, measure out the space you have available and note whether it is completely free-standing or if it will be under a deck or veranda. This will determine how high your posts need to be positioned and what materials can be used.

For example, suppose you are not allowed to use steel due to local council by-laws. In that case, other suitable alternatives might include aluminium instead of steel, which would allow gutters to increase safety during heavy downpipes.

Once you know where your pergola is going to stand and how big it has to be, you can begin discussing designs with our experts here at Pergolas Adelaide.

The different types of materials that pergolas can be made from

Pergolas are made from different types of materials. Some of our products are made from iron, steel and timber. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Iron pergolas have a stylish look to them, and they come with many different designs to choose from. But, this material requires a lot of maintenance due to the fact that it can rust if left out in the rain or exposed for too long to high levels of humidity. The biggest advantage that steel offers over other materials is that it is very strong and durable, which means you will not need to be checking on your pergola as often as you would on an iron one. Timber pergolas are a popular choice because it creates a very natural and almost rustic look.

Types of Pergolas

The type of pergolas you want Pergolas Adelaide Experts to build in your home will depend on the size and design of your property. If you have a house in a busy neighbourhood, an arch pergola with wooden slats will allow you to have privacy while still retaining some light from the sun. If you have a pool or a garden in your home, our experts can build a pergola with curved rays that complement these areas.

The most common type is the flat or straight-line pergola which creates shade over pathways, patios, decks, carports etc. Other structures like arches are required if there is both access and exit paths through the structure, making it safe for vehicles to pass by underneath at certain intervals throughout their life.
