Pergolas can be an important part of your landscape, but you need to take care of them to keep them looking their best. Here are a few tips for keeping your pergola in good condition: – Clean it every few months: Spring and fall are prime times to clean your pergola, since the weather is warm enough to clean the wood, but not so hot that it damages the paint. – Don’t over-water it: Over-watering can cause your pergola to rot, so make sure to water it only when the soil is completely dry. – Check for rotting wood: If you notice any wood rotting or warping, it’s time to replace the pergola.
