Pergolas are a quick and easy way to add effortless flare and comfort to your outdoor space. Made from columns, the top features an open rafter system that lets in the elements without being overwhelming. At Standard Windows & Doors, we have years of experience providing high-quality, custom-built pergolas to the Southeastern Wisconsin area. No matter what style or materials you desire, we are committed to creating an outdoor space that you can enjoy for years to come.
Benefits of a Pergola
Pergolas are most commonly used to add shade to an outdoor space, making areas around grills, patio furniture, or hot tubs more comfortable. The open rafters at the top are protective while still letting in nature and light—plus, they’re great for hanging decorative lights or plants that don’t need to be in the direct sun. It can also be easily customized to add a canopy that can be opened and closed via an attached track system.
Pergola Material Types
Wood
As the premier material choice for pergolas, wood offers natural beauty and timelessness to any backyard. Whether you want cedar, pine, redwood, or a different wood entirely, every type offers different qualities and will determine your maintenance levels, price, and overall look.
Metal
Metal pergolas are a great option for homeowners looking to add a sleek and modern look to their outdoor space. They’re also highly durable, requiring little maintenance. The most common metals used are aluminum and steel, which tend to be resistant to rust and corrosion.
Vinyl
Vinyl has become a popular choice for pergolas due to their low maintenance levels and customizable appearance. Vinyl is also highly resistant to rot, decay, insects, and other outdoor elements, making it a great option for homeowners who want a highly durable and versatile outdoor structure.
