Glass Pergolas vs Metal Pergolas vs Wooden Pergolas: Which One is Right for You?

An average person in Bangluru with a pergola in his home is likely to spend 2000 hours under pergola. So why not spend 5 minutes reading what is the best pergola for you.

Pergolas come in all shapes and sizes (mostly rectangular). So it could be confusing to choose what suits your home. But, if you consider these factors then you can select the best pergola (a.k.a memory making place).

1. Aesthetics
What is the overall style of your house?

Here is an easy test to know this. Does your home have a sliding glass door? If yes, then chances are high that your house is a bit more to the modern end of the spectrum.

For modern houses the glass pergola will be a better suite. Whereas if you have a taste for classic designs then a wooden design might be better.

2. Natural light
Traditional pergolas let in light, but a glass pergola showers light. So if you love the bright sunny day then you might need the glass pergola, and if you like it to tone down the brightness then you should prefer metal or wooden pergolas.

3. Maintenance
Pergolas usually last up to a decade with minimal maintenance, but this can varry as per the materials. If you need the least work after installation then metal is best for you. For wood you will need to work on preventing termites. And for glass you might need to clean the algae forming on it.

4. Panoramic view
If you live in a lovely neighborhood with great scenery then you might need a glass pergola to get a complete view. If you wish more privacy then a metal or wooden pergola will be better.

5. Cost
Wood is the most costly out of the three followed by metal and then glass. So if you are building with a tight budget then glass pergola might be the better option.

6. Durability
Metal is highly durable and so is glass, but it has to be shatterproof. Wood decays and is the least durable of the three.
