About pergola & gazebo services
The engineering question is wind: an open structure catches more than it looks, and post fixings into a patio need resin anchors rather than a bolt into a slab. Timber needs treating every couple of years. Louvred aluminium systems cost more and are the ones that get used in British weather.
