Pound for pound fiberglass is stronger than steel. It will not warp, twist, shrink or sag in extreme temperature conditions. Salt air and ocean spray have no affect and spans of 18 feet between supports are accomplished without the need for additional support. A 24 foot 2” x 6” beam produced by this thin wall technology only weighs 24lbs!
Homeowners have been forced to accept these materials, and their drawbacks, as the only choices available. Sagging vinyl fences, dented aluminum posts, rusting screw holes and bland colored vinyl used to be the norm. Not anymore. Recent advancements in Pultrusion processing technology have brought lightweight, high-strength, corrosion resistant composites to the Outdoor Living market at extremely
competitive prices. The commercial applications of pultruded fiberglass materials are well known. You have used pultruded composites in a trusting situation for years without really knowing it! The fiberglass legs on the ladders we climb to clean out gutters or paint a high ceiling were
made by a Pultrusion fiberglass process.
Fiberglass can be painted to the color of your choice and span large open areas creating more usable space beneath the pergola. Pultruded fiberglass is the only choice:
• If you are in the market for an outdoor structure that is low or no-maintenance.
• If you want a structure that gives the warmth and elegance of finished wood.
• That is available in colors of your choice.
• When you need to span a long distance between supports.
• When speed and ease of installation is an issue.
Fiberglass Pergolas and Arbors are available as a kit for the do-it-yourself handyman, or through your local builder.
