Shire Pergola Timber:

Discover the exceptional craftsmanship behind Shire's garden buildings, rooted in their commitment to using natural, environmentally responsible materials. The choice of timber is crucial in crafting a premium pergola, and understanding the type of wood used is key to appreciating its quality.

While pine (pinus) is a common choice due to its widespread availability and affordability, Shire elevates their designs by exclusively using superior spruce (Picea) from the forests of Scandinavia. It's a testament to their dedication to quality, ensuring responsible and sustainable sourcing.

Spruce stands out for its enhanced durability and refined finish, surpassing the qualities of pine. What makes this timber exceptional is its slow growth, a stark contrast to the rapid growth of timber from Britain and Eastern Europe. The slower development results in a tighter grain, reduced sap content, and notably fewer knots. These characteristics contribute to the timber's longevity, ensuring that a Shire Pergola is not just a temporary fixture but a lasting addition to your outdoor space.

Make the Most of Your Pergola:

Your pergola's versatility opens up many delightful possibilities for its use. Consider setting up a cosy dining area beneath its shelter, complete with a stylish table and comfortable chairs. It makes an enchanting spot for intimate dinners or leisurely brunches. To further enhance the ambience, consider weaving a cascade of fairy lights or suspending ethereal lanterns, bathing your gatherings in a warm, inviting glow.

Introduce a botanical theme to your pergola by adorning it with potted plants or ornamental hanging baskets. This not only injects a burst of life and colour into your outdoor space but also crafts a serene, nature-infused haven for relaxation and reflection.

Utilise your pergola as a showcase for your gardening prowess. Encourage the graceful ascent of climbing plants like fragrant roses or jasmine along the structure. This creates a visually stunning display and envelops your space in a tapestry of scents and colours, enhancing its natural elegance.

For those who love to entertain, transform your pergola into a cutting-edge outdoor cinema or concert venue. Install a durable, weather-resistant television or projector screen, creating an ideal setting for movie nights under the stars. Add plush seating arrangements facing the screen for maximum comfort. Complement this setup with high-quality outdoor speakers, immersing your guests in a rich auditory experience that rivals any indoor entertainment system.

Pergola Aftercare:

This pergola is pressure-treated. Pressure treatment is almost colourless, except for a light green tint caused by the copper content in the preservative. With time, the treatment greys, but this does not affect the quality. This means you do not immediately need to add additional treatment to the pergola yourself excpt for a water repellent treatment. Using the treatment after installation, followed by consistent annual treatment of the pergola, will maintain the high-quality finish.

To treat the pergola, elbec recommends Protek wood treatment. Browse our Protek Royal Exterior Wood Finish Paint range to find the best paint colour to add your personalised finish. In the options section, we’ve also included popular colours and a Wood Preserver+ for use underneath your colour choice.
