Custom Pergolas Perth

While both a patio and a pergola are outdoor living structures, they serve different purposes and have distinct characteristics.

What is a patio?

A patio is a paved outdoor area, often attached to a house, that provides a space for dining, entertaining, and relaxation. It is typically an open space with no overhead covering, allowing for full exposure to the sun and elements.

What is a pergola?

A pergola, on the other hand, is a structure with vertical posts or pillars that support crossbeams and a durable open lattice roof. Pergolas provide partial shade, creating a more defined outdoor living space while still allowing sunlight and airflow. They also serve as a decorative element, adding architectural interest and charm to your outdoor area.

There are several types of pergolas to choose from, each suited to different styles and needs:

• Traditional pergolas feature classic designs with open lattice roofing, providing a timeless and elegant look.
• Modern pergolas incorporate sleek lines, contemporary materials such as metal or composite materials, and minimalist designs.
• Rustic pergolas use natural wood, earthy tones, and organic elements to create a more traditional, cozy feel.
• Attached pergolas are connected directly to the house, seamlessly extending the living space and creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
• Freestanding pergolas are stand-alone structures that can be placed anywhere in your outdoor space, offering flexibility in placement and design.

Custom pergolas can be constructed using various materials, including:

• Wood: such as cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated pine, offering a natural, classic look and durability.
• Metal: like aluminium or steel, providing a modern and sleek appearance with low maintenance requirements.
• Vinyl: offering a lightweight, weather-resistant option that requires minimal upkeep.
• Composite materials: combining wood fibres and recycled plastics for a durable, eco-friendly alternative with the look of real wood.

At Hammer and Brush, we specialise in crafting custom pergolas using high-quality, sustainably sourced wood. Wood is a popular choice for pergolas due to its natural beauty, durability, and versatility in design.

We are experienced in working with different types of wood to create stunning wooden pergolas that enhance the look and feel of your outdoor space. With our expertise and attention to detail, we can customize a wooden pergola that perfectly complements your home's architecture and landscaping while providing a timeless and elegant addition to your outdoor living area.

The timeline for building a custom pergola can vary depending on the size, design complexity, materials used, and any additional features. On average, the construction process typically takes anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks, including design consultation, material selection, fabrication, and installation.

At Hammer and Brush, we understand the importance of maintaining the beauty and functionality of your custom pergola. While our pergolas are built to last, we offer maintenance services such as periodic inspections, cleaning, re-staining or painting, and repairs to ensure your pergola remains in top condition for years to come.

Absolutely! Our custom pergolas can be tailored to include a variety of features and accessories to enhance your outdoor living experience. This includes options like integrated LED lighting, ceiling fans, retractable shades, privacy screens, and more. We can work with you to incorporate these elements seamlessly into the design of your custom pergola.

In Perth, building regulations and requirements may vary depending on the location, size, and design of your custom pergola. While smaller, freestanding pergolas may not require specific permits, larger structures or those attached to a house may need approval from the local council. Our team at Hammer and Brush is well-versed in the local building codes and regulations, and we can assist you in navigating the permitting process to ensure that your custom pergola is built in compliance with all regulations.
