Why We Recommend Aluminium Pergolas

The secret to protecting your furniture: why quality pergolas are necessary.

 Furniture can be a big investment, especially fashionable, timeless sets to make your garden look and feel top-tier. However, without proper protection, sun, rain and wind can quickly wear down your furniture. One of the most efficient, cost effective ways to protect your furniture for longer lasting comfort is the installation of a high quality aluminium pergola.

Wooden vs Aluminium pergolas: why choose aluminium?

 Our extensive range of pergolas is not purely for aesthetics. We aim to provide the most cost effective, long lasting products for our customers, which is why we only offer the most high quality aluminium pergolas. The differences between the two are stark, for example

Wooden pergolas:

• Likely to sway in intense winds
• Prone to rotting/warping
• Require regular maintenance
• Less environmentally friendly

These drawbacks may not seem major, but when compared to the new, sleeker looking aluminium pergolas, the choice is clear.

Aluminium pergolas:

• Highly durable and weather resistant.
• Provide a sleek, modern look
• Require less maintenance
• Do not rot, warp or rust.
• Long lasting, making them more cost effective.

When looking for durable, cost effective, high quality protection for your furniture, aluminium is surely the better choice. Here at Crownhill we prioritise your comfort, leisure and time, with aluminium pergolas requiring little to no upkeep, its guaranteed you’ll receive the best option, for the least effort!

Why choose a permanent structure over a gazebo?

Whilst gazebo’s are a fun, temporary way to block out the sun, pergolas offer permanent, year round protection for you and your furniture, ensuring you not only save your furniture, but your money as well. Pergolas are resistant to all types of weather, giving your garden a sleek, modernised look that a gazebo simply cannot offer. Our pergolas are also sold in a range of different styles, sizes and colours to suit you and your garden, giving a homely, personalised feel that cannot be replicated. A louvred roof is also an option within our range, offering customers the choice between shine or shade year round.

 Choosing what is best for you and your garden.

 When deciding on what type of protection is best for your garden, ask yourself;

• Is this going to last?
• Will the product be as advertised?
• Is this the best material?

Pergolas are best suited as a permanent structure (although requiring no planning permissions, in most cases.) and an investment in the wellbeing of your furniture and patio, not a temporary solution to too much sunshine! The initial cost of a pergola may be higher than that of a gazebo or shelter, but fabric or wood will fray and rot over time, meaning frequent maintenance and replacement is needed. Aluminium pergolas need little to no maintenance or replacement, saving you money in the long run. Why not make the investment now, and live easy from now on?

High quality materials are also a must when buying a pergola. Wood may initially be slightly cheaper, costing from £500-£900, but when constant upkeep and maintenance are involved, as well as splintering and rot, aluminium is a clear winner. No rust, no rot, no early replacement.

Consider the outdoors aspect. Buying garden furniture is different from furniture for inside the home. Outdoor furniture is made to be durable, and may be slightly costlier due to this. Aluminium is optimum for this protection, and will protect other materials such as rattan, wood or fabric for longer, not only protecting you, but your furniture for longer. Make the smart choice and invest into not only your garden, but your home as well as your future and yourself. You do what’s best for you, why not your garden as well?
