Weather Resistance: It can withstand various weather conditions without warping or cracking even in hurricane force winds.

Eco-Friendly: Aluminum is recyclable, making it a sustainable choice.

How will a louvered pergola hold up in my climate?

Given our climate in North America, an aluminum louvered roof pergola sounds like an excellent choice, especially since our system is engineered for durability.

Wind Resistance: If it’s designed to withstand hurricane-force winds, it should be robust enough for strong gusts and storms common in many regions of the United States.

Snow Load Capacity: With heavy snow loads being a consideration, a well-engineered pergola will prevent sagging or structural failure during winter months.

Temperature Variability: Aluminum can handle extreme temperature fluctuations, which is beneficial in regions from Michigan to California with cold and warm fluctuating temperatures.

Can my aluminum pergola handle ocean mist and salt water?

The low maintenance requirements od an aluminum pergola is particularly beneficial in climates where harsh weather can lead to wear and tear. Aluminum’s natural resistance to corrosion means it can handle moisture and harsh weather without deteriorating, and with various installations completed coast to coast, it can handle ocean mist and salt exposure and is specifically designed for coastal environments.

Can I install it myself, or do I need professional help?

You can install an aluminum pergola yourself. As the mnaufacturer of the 10′ by 12′ KIT, we include detailed instructions, making the process more straightforward.
However, there are some factors to consider when to seek professional help:

Complexity: If the pergola design is custom and requires significant structural support, hiring a professional might be wise.

Site Preparation: If your installation site requires substantial groundwork or modifications, professionals can handle that more efficiently.

Time Constraints: If you’re short on time or want the job done quickly, hiring an expert can save you the hassle. If you’re unsure, consulting with a professional such as the team at Aluminum Pergola for advice can ensure that the pergola is installed correctly.
