Aluminum pergolas are the clear choice for Sanders Park’s climate because they resist rust, rot, and hurricane-force winds without requiring annual maintenance. Unlike wood, aluminum resists rust, mold, and fading while maintaining structural integrity through hurricane season and daily weather extremes.
We avoid pressure-treated wood because it requires constant maintenance, can warp in humidity, and attracts insects. Cedar looks beautiful initially but needs regular sealing and replacement in Florida’s UV-intense environment. Our aluminum systems use marine-grade hardware, proper drainage design, and materials specifically rated for coastal Florida conditions, so your pergola enhances outdoor living without creating maintenance headaches.
Yes, our pergolas are engineered to meet Miami-Dade hurricane requirements and withstand winds up to 175 mph when properly installed. We use reinforced aluminum construction with engineered footings and hurricane-rated connections, with structures that include stamped engineering drawings.
The key is proper engineering and installation—not all pergolas are built to hurricane standards. Our structures are installed with concrete footings that go deep enough to handle extreme weather conditions common in South Florida. During severe storms, motorized louvers should be opened to reduce wind resistance, and the structure is designed to flex slightly without breaking. We’ve had pergolas survive direct hurricane hits because they’re built to exceed local wind load requirements from the start.
Aluminum pergolas in Sanders Park require minimal maintenance compared to wood alternatives. Clean the structure 2-3 times per year with mild soap and water to remove salt air residue and pollen. Check and clean gutters if your system includes integrated drainage.
For motorized systems, lubricate moving parts annually and keep sensors clean for proper operation. The motors are designed for outdoor use and typically require professional service every 3-5 years depending on usage. Unlike wood pergolas that need regular staining, sealing, and replacement of deteriorated boards, aluminum systems maintain their appearance and function with basic cleaning.
