What Exactly is a Pergola?
A pergola is a simple arched structure that provides shade and an area to entertain outside. You'll see pergolas covering walkways or patios. Unlike a gazebo, they don’t have a roof. They may, however, have an awning attached to provide shade.
Traditionally, the archway provides support for plants such as roses and grapes. In summer, the plants offer much-need shade.
There are many different pergola designs and materials. Steel pergolas Perth are the strongest and most durable option. Wooden pergolas are more traditional options but subject to the ravages of the weather. Aluminium patio alternatives are less expensive but are not as sturdy.

Advantages of a Steel Pergola
Considering a metal patio covering? That’s a good choice – steel stands up well over time and provides strong support. Let’s go through all the benefits:
- Galvanised steel is weatherproof: Galvanised steel won’t rust, fade, or discolour when exposed to the elements. If you’ve got a problem with rising damp, a wooden pole won’t last long at all. Steel will, however, stand up well.
- Fire-resistant: Considering the dreadful bushfires we battled recently, fire-resistant options make more sense. Check with your local town council. There may be a by-law about using inflammable materials in areas prone to bushfires.
- The most durable option: The steel will deteriorate over time eventually, but this will take several years.
- Maintenance is simpler: The steel won’t stain and doesn’t require much maintenance at all. Unlike with wood, you don’t need to strip it down and reapply varnish every few years.
- Can be painted: One of the most common arguments against using steel is that it looks clinical. Today we can powder-coat it in a range of colours as you choose.
