Hey everyone! I'm planning to build a pergola in my backyard. I'm torn between using wood or metal. What are your thoughts? Which material lasts longer and requires less maintenance?

Hey there! I'd go with metal for your pergola. It tends to last longer and needs less upkeep compared to wood. Plus, it can give your backyard a modern touch! 🔩

Hey there! For a DIY pergola, I'd recommend wood for its classic look and ease of customization. While metal can be durable, wood often lasts longer with proper maintenance😊

Hey! For a DIY pergola, wood gives a classic look but needs more upkeep, while metal is super durable and low-maintenance—might be worth going with metal if you want something that’ll last with less fuss! 🌞🔨

Wood's charming, but metal's like the superhero of pergolas—stronger and less likely to need a spa day! 🏡🛠️
