Most pergolas are made from wood, but some are made of metal, steel, and plastic.

Sizes of Pergolas

When choosing the right size for your pergola project, consider what you will use the space for: will you entertain or enjoy meals under the stars? Will you want to read in a cozy blanket when the rain is pouring down? Do you want a place to relax and get out of the sun after a dip in your swimming pool? Size matters when it comes to the purpose of a pergola. Please don’t leave it to chance. Consider what you want the space for, and you’ll be better equipped to decide your desired size. Average pergolas measure 10’ x 10’ and can extend your indoor living space. Adding outdoor sofas, chairs, and even a fire pit can enhance the look of your pergola and help you get the most out of it. If you are going to place furniture in your pergola, consider the size and layout of the furniture before you start building your new pergola. You’ll want to ensure plenty of room to lounge and relax in style and comfort.

Choosing right materials for your pergola is essential to the longevity of the space. Aarons Outdoor Living offers a variety of materials to choose from. Still, the most popular materials used to build pergolas include treated pine, which is economical and sturdy, and colorbond roofing materials that last in the weather for years to come.

Mixing and matching materials can create an exciting look and add value to your home.
