You have a dream home now it’s time to enhance your outdoor space. Many options are available nowadays — patios, gardens, outdoor lounges, decks, pergolas and more — to give your outdoors the sophistication it deserves.
While you choose pergolas as your pick to beautify your space, the outdoor solutions experts from Tauranga, Pergola Pro, have some installation tips.
Choose the Right Material
You have decided you want a pergola for your outdoor space. So, select the correct material. You must consider how you want the structure to look, the maintenance effort, and its durability. Some popular materials include wood, aluminum and vinyl.
Perform the Groundwork
Assess your outdoor space and decide where you want your pergola — consider the size, shape and material you want to use. You must get the necessary permissions before you start laying the foundation. Familiarize yourself with local building codes, as they could have a say on your construction, utility usage and safety norms.
Begin your Prep
Ensure your necessary tools and materials are available. Monitor the weather forecasts to avoid interruptions and start your work. Lay the foundation; erect posts; fasten, mount and position the beams; install components, as well as consider anchoring your pergola for stability against high winds.
Give Final Touches
It’s now time to add your personal touch and complete the project. If you choose a wooden pergola, protect it with a weather-resistant paint or sealant. You can add a roof or make it more decorative with a canopy for extra shade. The possibilities for personalization are endless, so go ahead and make your pergola a unique extension of your dream home.
