Pergola / August 28, 2018 / JulietteHughes
Glass panels although strong enough to serve as pergola covering dont work for all kinds of environments making them vulnerable to hailstorms. So it is always advisable to check your location before transforming your pergola with transparent insulations. Other types of roofing materials used in pergolas include metal pergola roofing materials which is considered the most durable and permanent roofing material and fabric deck pergola covers which helps in extending your outdoor furnitures life. While fabric deck coverings extend furnitures life it also reduces or protects you from direct ultraviolet rays.
It gives colour to the wood and also conceals some of the natural defects and characteristics that may stand out obscuring the real beauty of the wood. Paint is also beneficial because they prevent moisture damage and rust. Acrylic paints are the best choice for painting pergolas as they provide the best protection. The durability of pergola depends on the materials chosen for its construction. As the roofs are permanently exposed to the elements of nature the paint chose may fade easily. Also materials such as fabric may fray or fade and plastic or fibreglass roofs may get warped or change colour.
Using sand paper remove all paint until the surface is completely prepared. Apply a water-repellent and fungicide if necessary. Using a paint-sprayer spread evenly from the farthest end to the back. High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) sprayer is more efficient and smooth. Use a paint roller to get a smooth finish. Give a light coating on the roof of the Pergola.
