Aluminum pergolas perform exceptionally well in Florida’s climate, offering rust resistance, minimal maintenance, and excellent durability against humidity and salt air. They won’t warp, crack, or require regular staining like wood options.
Wood pergolas provide natural beauty and can be more cost-effective initially, but they require periodic maintenance in Florida’s climate. Pressure-treated lumber and cedar offer better weather resistance than standard wood options.
For Goulds homeowners, aluminum often proves the better long-term choice due to our proximity to the coast and year-round humidity. We’ll help you weigh the pros and cons based on your budget, maintenance preferences, and design goals.
