FRP Pergola

Weight – fiberglass pergolas are really light. The one we installed on a deck was attached to a plate that attached between the joists. Easy.
Upkeep – the vendor I used will ship your pergola painted in any color offered by sherwin williams or benjamin moore. The pieces get knocked around during shipping, so they include a couple gallons of touch-up paint. Since fiberglass doesn’t move like wood, you’re looking at years of life from a coat of paint.
Span – a fiberglass pergola can span almost 20 feet with no intermediate posts. That’s pretty great.
Installation – they ship from the factory as kits. End details are done, everything is cut to length, all you have to do is put it up and screw it together.
