Writer: Cinzia PediconeCinzia Pedicone












As the Texas winter begins to fade, there's no better time to transform your outdoor space with a stunning pergola. Here in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where we enjoy numerous sunny days throughout the year, a pergola can create the perfect outdoor retreat while adding significant value to your property.

Why Install Your Pergola Now?

The pre-spring period is ideal for pergola installation in DFW. By planning your installation before March, you'll:

- Beat the spring rush when everyone starts their outdoor projects

- Have your pergola ready for the beautiful spring weather

- Enjoy your outdoor space during peak entertainment seasons

- Save time and potentially money by avoiding peak season rates


Choosing the Right Materials for Texas Weather

Living in DFW means dealing with unique weather challenges, including severe storms and occasional tornados. That's why material selection is crucial:


1. Aluminum Pergolas:

- Excellent durability against harsh weather

- Rust-resistant and low maintenance

- Lightweight yet sturdy enough to withstand high winds


2. Steel Pergolas:

- Superior strength for tornado-prone areas

- Galvanized coating for rust prevention

- Perfect for larger structures requiring extra stability


3. Cedar Wood Pergolas:

- Natural beauty that ages gracefully

- Naturally resistant to decay and insects

- Must be properly treated and maintained for longevity


The Foundation Matters

One aspect that sets professional pergola installation apart is proper foundation work. At Handy Furniture Fix, we understand that a pergola is only as strong as its foundation. That's why we:

- Prepare professional-grade concrete foundations

- Install deep footings that exceed local building codes
