Pergolas Attached to House

Why Get an Attached Pergola?

While a free-standing pergola can provide a peaceful retreat in the middle of a yard, an attached pergola has its advantages, too. An attached pergola creates an extension of your house, making it seem like there is more square feet while at the same time providing a seamless transition from the indoor to the outdoor area.

Unlike a regular covered porch, attached pergolas provide shade while still being open air. This allows you to barbecue or sit around a fire pit without having to breath in noxious smoke. Hang plants from unlimited places or grow flowering vines along the sides and top to create your perfect Eden!

Why Buy an Attached Pergola Kit from Us?

Today, the majority of attached pergolas tend to be made out of wood. Because of that, traditional wooden pergolas tend to be the least expensive to buy. Unfortunately, less expensive doesn't always mean "cheaper in the long run".

Far more maintenance is involved with an attached wood pergola. They are harder to clean, have to be repainted often (if you don't opt for a natural wood pergola) and they will not last forever. The best of woods are prone to rot, constant exposure to rain causes wood to sag or warp over time and despite misleading claims made by many manufacturers about their wood being "termite resistant", no wood is termite proof. Termites will eat any wood - they just like the taste of some wood better than others. Do you really want a pergola attached to your wall that could end up being infested with termites?

Every DIY attached pergola kit sold here at Sunset Pergola Kits is made with an aluminum frame with a vinyl coating making it stronger and easier to clean than a wooden pergola. Our vinyl coated attached aluminum pergola kits won't rust, rot or sag and they never need to be painted. Just a little soap and water is all you need to keep a Sunset Pergola looking as good as new for as long as you own your home. Termites don't eat metal or vinyl so that'll never be a concern, either. Best of all, if you add high-wind brackets, we'll give you a Lifetime Wind Protection Warranty for your pergola kit!

Our attached pergola kits might be slightly more expensive than the cheap wooden ones, but you'll thank us later when you see the hassles that your neighbors who bought wooden ones have to endure. Be sure to mention us when they finally give up and want one just like yours!
