At JC General Contractor Sarasota, we take pride in offering high quality aluminum pergolas, perfect for any outdoor space.
Aluminum is a material that combines strength, longevity and a modern finish, ideal for those looking for a structure that is not only functional, but also aesthetically appealing.
Pergolas
If you want to enhance your outdoor spaces, such as the garden or balcony, a good option is to install pergolas. Not only do they add an aesthetic touch, but they also provide shade and a cozy area to enjoy the outdoors. At JC General Contractor Sarasota, we understand the importance of choosing the perfect pergola to suit your needs and tastes.
Types of Pergolas: Fixed vs. Freestanding
One of the first aspects to consider when choosing one, is to decide between a fixed or freestanding structure. The fixed ones are integrated to the house, creating a natural extension of your home.
They are perfect for terraces and porches, as they are assembled directly to the facade of the house, providing a constant shelter. On the other hand, free-standing pergolas are autonomous structures that can be placed anywhere in the garden. These are versatile and can be moved according to your needs. They are ideal for creating a focal point in your outdoor space.
Pergola Materials
The material is crucial, as it must be weather resistant while maintaining an attractive aesthetic. At JC General Contractor Sarasota, we recommend considering the following options:
Wood
The wooden pergolas offer a natural and warm aesthetic, ideal for rustic gardens. They can be easily customized with climbing plants and curtains.
However, regular maintenance is required to prevent deterioration due to weather exposure.
Metal
Metal pergolas offer a contemporary aesthetic and are highly durable. They are straightforward to maintain and clean, and are also weather-resistant.
Their sleek design makes them an excellent choice for contemporary spaces.
Tarpaulin
Pergolas with canvas awnings are versatile and can be made of either fabric or metal.
The canvas should resist UV rays, hail, and rain. However, it may not be as effective against high winds.
