Pergola roofing can have many uses. It can protect you from the rain and sun, it can give you extra ‘indoor’ space outdoors, it can add aesthetic value to your house and garden, plus it can put monetary value to your house. And because pergola roofing have so many uses, they come in different shapes and sizes – based on what they are being used for.
Whenever choosing your pergola roofing and roofing materials, you will have to consider a number of factors, such as it’s purpose, the cost, the elements it will face and whether you want to build pergola roofing yourself or employ some builder to do the job for you. Below are a few things you may need to think about.
THE PROTECTION YOU NEED
Pergola roofing can offer protection against the elements. It can provide protection from the sunlight, providing you with cool, airy space to relax in, and it can also protect you from the rain – allowing you access to your garden and patio, even when the weather is bad. Think about what kind of protection you would like your pergola roofing to provide, and choose the roofing materials which will offer you the most suitable protection.
For example, if your pergola roofing is probably to be in full sunlight at all times you can choose between added shade that Xtremearrow roofing provides, or heat reflective Suntuf solarsmart polycarbonate linens (the Xtremearrow will provide you with much better shade but can radiate heat when it’s extremely hot, and the suntuf linens will allow more light in but their heat reflective properties will keep the space cooler) similarly if you are looking to add pergola roofing in a shadier place, the simpler and more transparent linen like suntuf standard will suit your purposes.

One of the most important factors to consider is whether your pergola roofing will be fit for purpose. Basically, will it do what it’s expected to do? Do you want a good extra living space, a barbeque area, or the meditation space? Do you want a comfortable place to relax or maybe a place to boost your plants? Do you want a spa inside your pergola?
