As a homeowner, you take pride in your home’s appearance and strive to make it beautiful. You could change up the siding, install new windows, create beautiful landscaping and so much more. There is one way to update and add curb appeal to the exterior of your home without a full outdoor renovation - a garage pergola kit may just be the solution you are looking for.
An easy way to update the look of your garage is to add an eyebrow pergola over the garage doors. A high-quality eyebrow pergola is easy to install as over-the-window pergolas or a wall mounted garage pergola. It is a simple way to enhance the look of your home without spending a fortune.
A garage pergola and an eyebrow pergola refer to the same thing. They may also be called a wall pergola, visor pergola or garage door pergola kit as well. They are short, cantilevered pergolas that are attached directly to your home’s exterior structure, without any vertical columns. An eyebrow pergola extends a short distance away from the structure — typically about two to three feet — so there is no need for additional support posts.
Garage pergolas don’t need to be installed above garage doors only. Garage door pergolas or eyebrow pergolas actually make great accents above a window, door or garage. You can even use multiple eyebrow pergola systems to create a longer pergola that runs along your home’s front exterior. This adds some depth, dimension and texture to the area on your home wherever you choose to install it.
Garage Pergolas are traditionally made of wood. While you can still choose to add a wood accent pergola to your home, those in favor of a longer lasting and lower maintenance option may look to vinyl eyebrow pergolas as a better choice for their exterior project.
One solution for Vinyl Garage Pergola Kits comes from Heartland Pergolas.
While traditional pergolas use wood or wood inserts, that can weaken over time, Heartland Pergolas’ garage pergola kits are with high-quality, premium extruded vinyl sleeves around a heavy-duty aluminum core.
This creates a pergola that can withstand strong winds, rain and snow, and will never rust, rot, crack, warp or peel. Additionally, the vinyl will never fade, chalk or weather. You won’t have to worry about sanding or painting like you would with a garage pergola made from wood.
Even though a garage pergola is small, one benefit is that it can provide a little shade from harsh overhead sun. While you may not necessarily need shade for the garage, this can be particularly helpful when placed over windows that receive strong sunlight. If certain spaces in your home are prone to heating up or are overly bright during the day, the filtered light of he pergola can help.
The louvered purlins, (fancy for diagonal slats) are angled at 45 degrees and spaced at intervals to provide 75 percent shade for the space below.
Another great benefit of choosing a garage pergola from Heartland Pergolas is that it’s easy to assemble. Unlike other pergola systems, these pergolas are easy and straightforward in their assembly, with detailed instructions. No need to make or find your own plans, everything is planned out for you.
These garage pergola kits can easily be installed in a few hours, with just a few helping hands and a few simple tools. Being so DIY-friendly also means that you can order a bigger system and trim it down to the proper size if you want to, or you can easily splice multiple kits together to create a bigger eyebrow pergola.
When you think about pergolas, you usually think of big price tags, but that’s another benefit of Heartland Pergolas. Their pergola systems are much more affordable, making a garage pergola possible for more homeowners. The team at Heartland Pergolas will work with you to create the perfect eyebrow garage pergola for your home and budget.
Wood pergolas require a lot of maintenance to stay looking good. Cleaning, staining and sealing are just some of the required upkeep. However, with a vinyl garage pergola from Heartland Pergolas, there is no need to worry about any extensive upkeep.
The vinyl can be pressure washed once or twice a year to keep it looking as good as new. That’s It!
While all of these benefits are great, what really makes an eyebrow garage pergola worthwhile for homeowners is the aesthetic. A garage pergola is a great way to help enhance your home’s curb appeal.
It does this by creating a three-dimensional look on the exterior of your home. It can also help your garage doors stand out if they feature a particular design that is out-of-the-ordinary.
A garage pergola is a great, simple way to add a little extra style to your home. It is a small addition, but it can have a big impact and enhance the overall appearance. Just be sure when you choose your garage pergola that you get it all. One that is attractive, durable, easy to install and even easier to maintain. Heartland Pergolas offers all of these features with their vinyl exterior and aluminum core pergola kits!
