Answer
What is the best material for a pergola?
Oak for premium and longevity; softwood for budget; aluminium for modern louvred systems.
In short
Oak is the premium choice, naturally durable and beautiful as it weathers; softwood is a budget option but needs more upkeep; aluminium suits a modern louvred system. We build bespoke timber and oak pergolas to last, rather than flat-pack kits that loosen and fade.
