What is the best wood for a pergola?
Having your own access to a place of tranquility is a fantastic asset to relieve any stress and to relax and enjoy your free time. To be able to walk out into your backyard and be welcomed by a beautiful decorative outdoor room is an amazing feeling, especially when you sit back under the gorgeous latticed roofing and sip on your favorite cool drink. But lets rewind back to the part where you choose the right pergola for your garden.
With all the different options, sometimes it can be confusing to decide which type of material is best for your garden setting. There is vinyl pergolas, fiberglass pergolas and the most popular, wooden pergolas. The wooden pergolas are really stunning when assembled with their wonderful authentic and solid appearance and not to mention their natural aromatic scent and mosquito repelling properties. Just imagine relaxing under a beautifully decorated solid wooden latticed structure enjoying the mezmorizing outlook reminiscent of a classic Roman landscape.
The wooden pergolas can be built from a few different types of lumber. Described below are facts and benefits about each of the types of lumbers that are commonly used for pergola structures:
Cedar Wood - A remarkable lumber that comes in various different variations and harvested in many geographical locations around the globe. Naturally found in the damp areas of the world, nature has worked its wonders, giving the wood fascinating resiliant properties that abolish problems with rotting, fungus, insects and temperature related stresses. This a perfect structural lumber for building in any areas, but it is particularly beneficial where humidity, temperature and cracking is commonly experienced.
Many types of wood on the market will succumb to warping and size changing under humidity and extreme temperature conditions. Cedar wood, however, will never do this. This wood is in high demand in the housing industry for wooden siding as it retains the ability to stay perfectly straight. For a pergola made of a cedar wood, this means your lattice and post columns will hold their shape beautifully and continues to look absolutely fantastic for a long long time. And not to mention, it will be a pleasure to install as this extremely durable wood is light and very easy to work with.
Douglas Fir Wood - one of the most widely distrubuted trees in America and the most important and frequently refined wood for commercial use. The Douglas Fir is looked at first by engineers and architects as a wood for building structures. This is because of the unbelievable strength to weight ratio of the wood that is superior to most, if not all, current woods available on the market. And not to mention it will hold its shape wonderfully in harsh weather conditions. This makes the Douglas Fir an absolutely perfect material for a garden pergola, or almost any type of construction for that matter, guaranteeing your pergola will be safe from all the harsh climate conditions for many years to come.
Pine - is available in a handful of varieties, including Sugar, Yellow, Ponderosa, and White. The Pine is a very soft wood and is commonly used in structures and furniture around the country, particularly in the south-west region of America. Being a very soft lumber, Pine is fantastic to work with. You will be able to carve with wood with ease to sculpt your beautiful masterpiece. There is 1 important thing to remember with Pine, if your Pine structure or furnishing is going to be exposed to the weather, which is very likely for a pergola, we highly recommend you use the more expensive Treated Pine variant. Then you wont have to worry at all cause your pergola will be extremely durable, resilient to the gradual effects of rotting, insects and fungus.
When deciding the best type of wood for your garden it may also come down to other factors such as color, price and availability. All of which should be kept in mind when deciding the wood for your new garden pergola.
