Aluminum Pergolas – Durability, Design, and Comfort
A modern aluminum pergola transforms any terrace or yard into a shaded, functional, and stylish space with minimal maintenance and maximum durability.
What Is a Pergola and Why It Matters
A pergola is a fixed or wall-attached shading structure that provides shade, partial rain protection, privacy, and a distinctive architectural accent. In Israel’s climate, it significantly increases outdoor usability throughout the year.
Why Aluminum
Aluminum doesn’t rust, is light yet strong, and requires no maintenance repainting. It enables large spans, clean lines, and full RAL color customization. It’s ideal for Israel’s UV, humidity, and salinity.
Profile Thickness and Structural Quality
Wall thickness directly affects stability, stiffness, and longevity. Thicker profiles (e.g., 2.0 mm vs 1.2 mm) improve resistance to wind, roof loads, and large spans. Proper sizing of posts, perimeter beams, and inner beams is critical.
Proper Coating and UV Resistance
Powder coating (Qualicoat) protects against UV, humidity, and salinity, preserving color and preventing peeling. Certified lines with proper pre-treatment dramatically extend lifespan.
Roofing (Polycarbonate) and Configuration
Base: open/shade pergola. Common add-ons: solid polycarbonate (≈₪85/m² ex-VAT), lighting, electrical prep, wind-reinforced framing. Slat spacing (e.g., 70/20 with 2–5 cm gaps) impacts weight, cost, and aesthetics.
Conclusion
A quality aluminum pergola is a long-term investment in comfort and style. At Pashkovski Group, design, fabrication, and installation are handled meticulously for stability, beauty, and durability.
