Putting a roof on a metal pergola.

Extremely happy with this purchase. The frame is metal and the sunshade is moveable. There is an innate and natural affection for curves and arches in architecture. Metal roofs provide more protection and shelter against different harsh weather conditions.

Metal sheets are easy to fix according to the size and shape of pergola. A continuous curved arch that forms a timber frame roof for a pergola adds interest as well as drawing the eye upwards giving the perception of a grandeur scaled structure. Metal roofs have a wide range of metals that can be used according to need and budget. Pergolas are good outdoor structures but because of the lattice roof they offer little cover from rain sunlight and other weather elements.

For a solid panel roof you have to drill some holes where the screws should be and carefully connect the roof panels. This pergola offers a metal slanted roof to provide coverage from the hot sun on your deck porch or patio. For a soft pergola roof you can leave it as is or fix the material with nails. Each screw hole needs to be predrilled with a 1 4 drill bit first to allow for expansion and contraction due to change in temperatures.

The roof structure is considerably slanted downward to create a slope towards the end of a pergola. Hardware and tools are included for assembly. For roofing multiple ways are adopted and metal roofing is one of more effective and durable option. Metal roofs for pergola are more favorable in areas where sunlight stays for long and is sharper.

The pitched roof pergola can be constructed adjacent to the front side of the house a tall standing wall etc. After cutting we placed the beautiful clear roof panels on top of the pergola. Materials clear roofing panels i used the suntuf 26 x 8 panels. They just sit onto the horizontal and vertical closure strips.
