Building a pergola with metal box sections and tensioned cables for climbing plants begins with a detailed design phase. The dimensions, shape, and characteristics of the pergola are defined, taking into account the available space, the type of climbing plants to be used, and the surrounding architectural context. The material of choice is steel, valued for its strength and durability, capable of supporting the weight of the plants and withstanding the elements.
The tensioned cables, made of stainless steel, are secured to the metal structure using special tensioners. The cables are arranged to create a support network that helps plants climb, producing a vertical garden effect.
The pergola’s finish involves a surface treatment of the steel, followed by a powder-coating process. This process not only protects the steel from corrosion but also produces a uniform and durable finish that enhances the pergola’s aesthetic appeal.
Finally, the pergola is assembled on site, securing the structure firmly to the ground or to a supporting surface. Climbing plants are then planted at the base of the pergola in special planters, and their vines are trained along the taut ropes, creating a lush, shaded green oasis.
