Questions We Get a Lot
Aluminum pergolas are lightweight, rust-resistant, and built for low-maintenance year-round use — ideal if you want a modern, weather-resistant structure with minimal upkeep. Cedar wood pergolas offer a warmer, more natural aesthetic and are naturally resistant to rot and insects, making them a great choice if you prefer classic backyard character. The right pick comes down to your style preference and how much maintenance you're comfortable with.
A standard open-roof pergola provides shade and partial coverage but won't block rain on its own. If waterproofing matters to you, look for models with retractable canopies or adjustable louvers — like our aluminum pergolas with waterproof curtains and 240 sq ft coverage — which are specifically designed to seal out moisture. We recommend reviewing each product's coverage specs to match your climate needs.
Most of our pergolas are designed for DIY assembly with included hardware and instructions, and many customers complete installation with a helper over a weekend. That said, larger structures or pergolas with electrical features — like the Ashland Cedar Wood Pergola with bar and electric — may benefit from a licensed electrician for the wiring components. We always recommend reviewing the product manual before you begin.
We offer free shipping on pergolas to the continental U.S., and all orders are covered by our 30-day easy-returns policy. Because pergolas ship in large freight packages, we recommend inspecting your delivery upon arrival and noting any damage with the carrier. If you have questions about your order, our team is here to help you through the process.
