Do I need a permit for a pergola?
For fixed structures in most communities, yes. We prepare the drawings and submit through our licensed partner.
Which pergola works best here?
Usually powder-coated aluminium with adjustable louvres: it handles heat, needs little upkeep and lets air through at night.
