Red Meranti Wood
Red Meranti from Malaysia is the most commonly used wood for pergolas, and it can 
be painted or stained but not necessarily. Though it gives minor cracks inside but no 
way has it affected the stability of the structure.
Meranti Wood has a specific measure of silica in the wood because it has a dulling 
impact on woodworking equipment. The wood holds its unique measurements when 
exposed to changes in humidity and temperature. One of the unique features of the 
Meranti Wood is that it won’t warp or twist.
We call wooden pergola as all-weather pergola as it can resist extreme heat of Gulf 
region and remains at neutral temperature let it hot or cold weather.  Wooden 
pergola is best suitable for family with kids as aluminium or steel pergola has risk of 
kids getting burnt as it becomes extremely hot during summer season.

Aluminum
An aluminum pergola is often less expensive than wood. 
Additionally, they are a lot easier to maintain because they will 
never rust and are also pest proof. They are light in weight and ideal 
for those who live near the ocean. You cannot think of anything 
worse than spending a lot of money on your outdoor landscaping 
only to have it ruined by harsh weather conditions or insect 
infestation. If you choose aluminum, you will not have to worry about 
it and you will be able to get use out of it for years and years
Another benefit of aluminum is that it can be painted to look like 
wood. This is great news for you if you like how wood looks but you 
want to take advantage of the many benefits that aluminum offers. 
Furthermore, if you cover it with plants or vines, you probably will 
not even notice that it is not wood
