In recent years, many Canadians have been seeking to make their properties more pleasant and functional outdoor recreation areas. However, not everybody is ready to place an order for a custom project and wait for a long installation period. An ideal compromise is a pergola kit. This is a convenient and inexpensive solution that allows you to install a pergola yourself, saving money and time.
What is a Pergola Kit?
A pergolas kit is a pre-assembled collection of parts, including pre-cut and pre-drilled materials, for self-assembling the structure. By regulation, the kit includes:
- support posts and beams;
- roof elements (lamellas or panels);
- fasteners and instructions.
These kits are specifically designed for comfort during self-installation (DIY)—even if you have no experience in construction, you can install the pergola yourself using simple tools.
Advantages of Pergola Kits
One of the greatest advantages of pergolas kit is affordability. Since you are not paying for a single project or professional installation, they are less expensive to purchase and install.
The second advantage is the ease of installation. Step-by-step instructions, component markings and precise measurements will allow you to install the structure in one to two days, provided you have outside help. This is especially convenient for vacationers and homeowners who need to quickly improve their property.
The third is timing flexibility. You don’t have to depend on contractors, their schedules, or seasonally lengthy queues. You buy a kit – and install it whenever you prefer: in spring, summer, or even autumn, ahead of frost.
Why Choose Aluminum Kits
Special attention has to be paid to aluminum pergola kits. To wooden or steel counterparts, aluminum boasts several undeniable advantages:
- It is corrosion-resistant, which is more than desirable in rainy and variable Canadian weather.
- It won’t crack, won’t warp, and won’t have to be painted.
- It is lightweight, which makes it easy to ship and install.
- Aluminum is amenable to modern site design trends – it can be matte or “wood-like.”.
Such kits serve for years without losing their appearance and at the same time require less maintenance.
If you have been thinking about expanding your garden, creating a cozy seating area or creating shelter from the sun and rain, a pergola as an ensemble will be a good starting point, especially if you choose an aluminum structure that is easy to install, weather-resistant and looks fashionable.
