What is concrete pergola

With several shapes and uses, this structure has Italian origins and can easily be decorated with pergola plants. In the past, pergolas were used to grow grapes, because their beams supported the branches. They are still very common in wineries, but over time, they have conquered gardens and other outdoor areas.

Found in a wide variety of materials, such as wood pergola and glass pergola, this piece is also perfect if built with concrete. It can be used to support a lining, to cover a leisure area, and in general for decoration. Concrete pergola values vary depending on the size of the structure, but a tall and sturdy one will cost between R$5,000 and R$8,000.

How is the concrete pergola made?

To obtain the necessary precision, after measuring the space where the pergola will be placed, it is sculpted in concrete. When the piece is built together with the room, the process is faster. The shape, size, and covering are important factors that must be considered when creating the project.

3 advantages and disadvantages of concrete pergola

As with every material, concrete applied to pergolas has its advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages

  • Resistance: Among the most commonly used materials for pergolas, concrete stands out for being extremely resistant, so rain and other external factors will not be a constant concern.
  • Maintenance: Unlike wood finishes, which require careful and frequent maintenance, concrete does not demand much attention. Thus, you will save time and money.
  • Leverage: Because it is built with concrete, it is often possible to use the structure of the house in the construction of the pergola.

Disadvantages

  • Visual: If you like the industrial style, the concrete pergola is ideal. If you prefer a more showy and not so heavy style, other materials are more recommended.
  • Value: Compared to other pergolas, such as aluminum and wood, the price of concrete pergola tends to be higher. However, when considering the value, remember the durability and low maintenance of the material.
  • Immobility: Some materials make it possible to move the pergola, but this is not the case with concrete, so if you live in a rented house or if there is a change in your plans, this feature needs to be taken into consideration.

Now, it's up to you: weigh up the advantages and disadvantages to think whether or not it is worth investing in this piece. Before you make a decision, take a look at some beautiful inspirations that can totally change your choice.
