Are you looking to enhance your outdoor space? Adding a pergola can have a huge impact whilst also being practical, but with so many different options out there, its easy to be tempted into going for the low cost alternatives. Throughout this blog we will look at the important question of ‘is it worth paying more for a pergola?’ and how you may end up paying more in the long run by going cheap.
Everyone loves a good deal, and at first glance, budget pergolas may seem like a no brainer With enticing adverts offering easy installation, a sleek design and unbeatable prices, it can certainly be appealing. But maybe its worth asking, what are you really getting for that low price? Whilst the low costs save you money initially, there may be hidden costs with a budget pergola – short lifespans, flimsy material and limited aftercare. By investing in a premium pergola, you get peace of mind with reliable customer service, professional installation and support you can count on should anything go wrong. You’re also buying durable, high quality designs to last years to come.
Budget pergolas often advertise their systems as aluminium material but in many cases there are only selected components that use aluminium, or you may find the material used is a thin, low-grade version. Over time, these cost cutting choices can lead to rust, warping or general wear and tear that will shorten the lifespan of the structure. Premium pergolas are made fully from high grade aluminium components, ensuring they offer resistance to rust, corrosion and fading. They are also designed to withstand strong winds and rainfall, ensuring that they provide reliable protection year-round. Investing in high quality materials means you get the long term, low maintenance pergola you’ve always dreamed of for years to come.
If you’re looking for support throughout your whole pergola journey, from your initial enquiry to aftercare, then a budget pergola may not be the best option for you. Lower cost pergolas usually come as a DIY kit with minimal support and little to no aftercare.
