Your first investment option is Wood

Wood is a good start. It is the traditional classic look of pergolas. It can be cut into many different shapes, stained or painted. There are also several different species of wood to choose from.

Pros

Wood is extremely versatile, so the options are endless. It is easy to customize so you can decide on your sun-to-shade ratio. It’s a safer design if you are ever concerned with making something look too modern. It is also great for small-scale designs such as a cover for gardens or patios.

Cons

While there are many pros to utilizing wood for your Black Pergola White House, as stated early, wood is probably not the best choice when taking on large scaled projects. In addition, wood needs to be treated by staining or painting it to help reduce the effect of outdoor elements. These elements can cause your wood to warp, dry rot, crack or swell. There are a few types of wood like cedar that naturally repel insects, however, most woods are still prone to insect activity and moisture problems.

Although you can customize your wood with paint, finish or stain, over time these design elements may begin to chip, peel, dry rot, or fade causing your investment to not be as beautiful as it was or possibly cause a safety hazard by being unstable. The elements will also require you to scrap, sand down, repaint or refinish every few years. In closing, the list of cons for wood pergolas requires the most upkeep and maintenance to keep their beautiful appearance, and failure to do so will shorten its lifespan and decrease the amount of your investment.
