Whether you’re wondering what a pergola is or why you should add one to your home, this blog will help you make an informed decision by telling you everything you need to know about pergolas.
What Is a Pergola?
A pergola is an outdoor structure that can transform your outdoor space into a beautiful and multi-functional living space. It consists of columns or posts that support a roof of beams and rafters.
Pergolas are a great outdoor solution for a seating area or patio. With a range of design options, pergolas create the perfect outdoor living space you desire.
What Makes a Pergola Unique?
Pergolas are often confused with other outdoor structures such as gazebos, arbors and trellises. Although they are all outdoor solutions and may have similar features, each structure has its own unique set of characteristics.
Pergolas are a unique solution that provides partial shade and can be customized with many design options to fit your bespoke needs and taste.
At JDUK Outdoor Living, we have partnered with outdoor living experts to bring an industry-leading pergola to the market, offering features like no other. Our high-tech pergolas have been manufactured with sun sensors that detect the sun’s rays. With up to 135-degree lath rotation, our pergolas are able to adjust the laths to create the ideal shaded space depending on the sun’s position.
With a wide range of adaptable features including sound systems, heaters, lights and doors, there are many ways to create the ideal bespoke outdoor structure for you!
Materials Used For Pergola Systems
The most common materials used to manufacture pergolas is wood, especially with DIY projects. However over time wooden pergolas require a lot of maintenance and can deteriorate quickly.
Metal pergolas, on the other hand, require very little maintenance, as they do not warp or require varnish to thrive. Our pergola system here at JDUK Outdoor Living is designed by industry experts using robust aluminium to create an outdoor structure that is sleek, modern and long lasting.
Each and every pergola we manufacture comes with a customized finish in standardized RAL colours or with the choice of up to 300 colours or a lacquered wood effect. The design options are endless!
Maintaining and Caring For Your New Pergola
It is important that you follow the simple steps to keeping your pergola looking as good as new, so that it functions and performs at its best. To care for your pergola properly, we advise that you regularly clean the pergola every now and then by simply brushing off any debris and wiping down with a damp cloth. If you have any additional features such as the Bluetooth speakers or heaters, be careful using a damp cloth with these electrical add ons.
It is also important to regularly inspect your pergola for any signs of wear or damage, and repair any damages as quickly as possible.
Benefits of Pergolas
There are many reasons why pergolas are becoming an increasingly popular choice for homeowners this summer.
One of the main benefits of pergola systems is the sun protection it offers, giving you the opportunity to enjoy the heat in a safe, protected space. As well as reducing the chance of being burnt in the sun, pergolas also create shade directly onto your property which is especially useful for areas that easily absorb heat from the sun.
