Pergola Material Picker

Rate what matters to you and see how cedar, pine, aluminum, vinyl and steel compare.

These tools give planning-level estimates from typical values. They are not quotes, designs or engineering, and results depend on your actual materials, soil, site, local rules and conditions. Only a yard visit can confirm what a project needs, and we give you a written scope and price before any work begins.

Questions

About this tool.

Is this a recommendation?

It is a simple comparison that follows your priorities. We confirm choices at the visit.

Why is cedar not always first?

Cedar is beautiful but needs upkeep, so it ranks lower if you want low maintenance.

Can I mix materials?

Yes. Many designs combine two materials.
