Like wood pergolas, aluminum comes in different shapes and sizes, only with heightened strength. It can even be more sleek than wood without having to compromise on its durability. These size and shape ranges give you more flexibility when it comes to designing it. And like other custom pergolas, they can be freestanding or attached to the roof, deck, patio or outdoor kitchen.
However, one of the few drawbacks to using aluminum to construct pergolas would be the learning curve incurred with the design. It can be pretty intimidating to draw such curves with aluminum materials. This is particularly true when someone has only worked with wood.
