Steel gives slim profiles and huge strength. Here is how to use it in modern and industrial pergola designs.
Steel is the strongest pergola material. It allows thin posts and beams, long spans and sharp modern lines. Combined with wood rafters or louvers, it creates a refined, contemporary look.
Steel needs good finishing to resist rust. Galvanizing, powder coating and quality paint systems protect it, and details that shed water help. We coordinate with fabricators for custom pieces and plan footings for the stiffer, heavier frame.
