A pergola is a basic yet practical garden structure that is known to serve multiple purposes. Today many 
Australian homes have a pergola in their backyards. Installing a pergola in one’s backyard is an eminent 
decision.
Several factors need to be taken into consideration at every step when you think of installing a pergola. 
Right from the initial design phase to the type of wood and even the finer details like the maintenance of 
the pergola, everything needs to be considered. In the end, all this effort is worth, as you get an 
astonishing relaxing space that you can enjoy any time of the year.
A pergola is that outdoor space that can be enjoyed in any weather. Marcelle’s Carpentry & Building is a 
comprehensive carpentry business that focuses on residential construction. Whether finished in colour 
bond roofing, tinted laser lite or even a passion fruit vine, a pergola can be designed and built to 
whatever suits your lifestyle and house style. We not only provide you with the best construction of your

Scrub the Frame and Cooking Areas Regularly
Marcelle’s Carpentry & Building uses only top quality materials to build your pergola. Our country’s harsh 
elements, however, can cause a build-up of dirt and grime on the frames of your pergola. This can 
damage the structure over time. In addition to this many pergola’s have a barbeque or a food preparation 
area. While BBQ might be a great way to enjoy family time, it can cause your health if not kept cleaned 
and in a sanitary condition. No one wants burnt bits and old food that has turned toxic in their next BBQ 
dish. It is, therefore, essential to clean and scrub your pergola food area and structure clean and tidy.
Trim the Vines from Time to Time
It is common for many Australian homes to adorn their pergolas with some sort of climbing vines. 
Growing greens add a beautiful touch and atmosphere to one’s outdoor space. One of the most 
important things, that needs to be kept in mind here is that these vines thicken over time. Thickened 
veins mean more weight on the frame. Pergolas build by Marcelle’s Carpentry and Building are strong 
and can handle a considerable amount of weight but trimming the vines not only makes your pergola 
appear beautiful but also maintains the health of the vines.

Immediately Replace Damaged Sections
Even with careful maintenance, there will be some sections of your pergola that will get damaged over 
time. Whether it is the wear or tear over time or the harsh climatic conditions, your pergola structure gets 
weakened. This can cause a rapid deterioration of your beautiful structure. It is, therefore, imperative to 
identify and replace the damaged sections immediately.
