Each property has its advantages and disadvantages, and very often depends on the personal preferences of the people who have chosen to own and live in it. For some it is important that the home has a certain exposure, for others – to be in the right location for them. Of particular importance to most people, however, is the outdoor space available to the property. And how we will use it – depends entirely on ourselves.
Utilizing outdoor spaces so that they can be used to the full is not an easy task. It is important that the structure fits in the middle and the transition between the spaces is not intrusive.
For this reason, many property owners decide to rely on the construction of pergolas.
THE PERGOLAS AND THEIR DEVELOPMENT
The pergola is most often associated with landscape architecture and is a separate wooden structure with crossbeams, which is often “decorated” with a variety of climbing plants and flowers. It is used for rest and relaxation, under the natural shade of plants. The beauty and comfort that these constructions create makes them a desirable architectural element in every yard and garden, as many owners begin to use it as a natural extension of their houses, where they can enjoy rest and moments with friends and relatives.
In fact, pergolas can vary in type and material. They can be built of wooden beams, solid columns of cut stone to carry milled oak louvers. Depending on where they are placed, they can form a green wall in the yard or a friendly corner by the pool or barbecue. In practice, pergolas can be placed anywhere in the garden – on paths or near the house, and are designed in different shapes – U-shaped, rounded, fan-shaped, such as arches and so on.
Experts warn that only well-dried wood is suitable for making pergolas, as non-dried beams and slats crack and wrinkle. It is mandatory for the wooden parts to be impregnated or varnished so that they do not easily succumb to the influence of the weather.
One of the major disadvantages of the wooden pergolas is their maintenance. On the one hand, the preservation of the structure itself, on the other hand, in order to obtain the desired effect of natural shade, we must have some knowledge of what plants are good to “weave” into the structure and how to properly maintain these plants. At the same time, in order to enjoy a pleasant partial shade in the warmer months, a long period is required for the plants to develop and cover the entire structure.
On the other hand, the massive appearance of the structure does not imply its construction on balconies and terraces. A large percentage of people nowadays live-in apartments.
Bulgarians solved this problem by building vines that fit almost any outdoor space, but again if you live on a higher floor, it will take years before the plant reaches you and get the desired shade.
On the other hand, pergolas with natural plants provide only seasonal protection from the sun and almost none from rain.
THE ADVANTAGES OF ALUMINIUM PERGOLAS
Weight is one of the most significant advantages of an aluminium pergola. This material is extremely light, but at the same time strong, competing with other much heavier materials. The susceptibility of aluminium to repainting makes it a preferred material that can easily fit into almost any environment.
Compared to wooden structures, which require constant maintenance, aluminium pergolas only need to be installed, and then for years do not need additional technical intervention. Which automatically means that this type of construction is also the economically better choice, because there will be no need for maintenance over time.
Due to their light construction, aluminium pergolas do not require digging like wooden ones. They are easier to assemble and can be installed on terraces, balconies and roofs of buildings.
They can be fitted with glazing; wind protection and you can easily create a space that can be fully used all year long
The aluminium pergolas give the opportunity to realize many different visions, design and functionality, which makes them a great investment for any property. And the way tradition and innovation are combined is impressive.
