Timber pergolas warp and split in this climate. Building the same design in aluminium or steel keeps the blade line straight for the life of the structure and lets the posts sit on a much smaller footprint for the same span.
The details worth paying for are the ones that stay hidden — concealed rainwater routing down the posts, wiring chases for lighting and fans, and blade end caps that stop the whole assembly rattling when the wind picks up.
Set-angle aluminium or steel blades sized to give the required shade fraction across the day.
Rotating blade systems that close to a weather-tight roof and open for ventilation, with remote or wall control.
Gutter profiles integrated into the perimeter beam and discharged internally through the columns.
Wiring routes, junction boxes and mounting points built into the frame during fabrication.
Retractable side blinds, zip screens and privacy louvres added to the same frame where wind or overlooking is an issue.
Marine-grade powder coating over pre-treated aluminium for long colour retention under direct sun.
