Choosing the best wood for your pergola involves considering durability, aesthetics, and maintenance. Cedar is popular for its resistance to decay and insects, while redwood offers natural beauty and longevity. Pressure-treated pine is budget-friendly but requires regular upkeep. Hardwoods like teak are durable but more expensive. Additionally, ensure the wood is treated for outdoor use, and consider using a sealant to extend its lifespan. The choice of wood appreciably affects the performance and appearance of your pergola.
