Low-Maintenance Aluminum with Wood Embossment

Pergolas are for leisure, but not having to put as much time and effort into their upkeep is a luxury. Aluminum with wood embossment is a popular choice because it doesn’t resemble the cheap look of other low-maintenance options like some vinyl or fiberglass. What really sets aluminum apart is that it comes with an embossed wood grain that looks like the real thing. However, it does not require painting or staining.

Temperature Control

Summer nights can be cold, but the best barbecues last long a er dark. To ensure everybody is having a good time, folks are attaching infrared heaters to their pergolas to keep their friends and family members from getting too chilly. Conversely, people are also installing ceiling fans to help control heat on summer days.
