MagazínPergola or shelter

Architects would certainly explain that there is a fundamental difference between the two concepts, but the lay public has a clear idea about both concepts. It's more about the purpose of use. Although the construction looks the same. When we create a pleasant place to sit under it, we talk about the pergola, and if we park the car under the same structure, we are talking about a shelter. It is not important how we call the building, it is important to choose the right material to match the surroundings.

Aluminum pergola

The cheap aluminum pergola has, as the name implies, an aluminum construction and a polycarbonate shell. Although we are talking about cheap pergolas, this option is nothing cheap. This is a very good design. The pergola is cost-effective because it is delivered as a kit that the customer can assemble himself. This type of pergola is docked in the wall of the house.
 

Design pergola

Luxurious pergolas that excel in their design are among the designe pergolas. Pergolas are self-supporting, that is, there is no need to anchor them in the wall of the house. Design pergola design is made of anodized aluminum with roofing made of full lexan, which looks like glass. Lexan perfectly absorbs UV radiation, but also warmth.
 

Wooden pergolas

Classic wooden pergolas have a construction that is made of multi-layer glued wood and roofing made of polycarbonate. Wooden pergolas can be purchased as a modular system but can also be delivered directly to the project. Maybe to shelter sitting at a patisserie or restaurant. Wooden pergolas, thanks to the use of classical material, perfectly blends with any object.
 

Choosing the right pergola

It is obvious that the type of pergolas is chosen according to the design of the surrounding buildings, so that everything is nicely tuned, but especially according to the purpose of its use. As a carport, a more self-supporting pergola is preferable, as we have more space around the car, but we will not even make a mistake with the pergola anchored in the wall if we choose the appropriate size.
