The World’s First Complete Fiberglass Composite Arbor & Pergola System Why Fiberglass? Strength Fiberglass beams can span longer distances than wood or vinyl. Unlike wood, their high strength-to-weight ratio keeps them from sagging under their own weight. Unlike vinyl, they are unaffected by variations in temperature and will not sag in hot climates. Pound for pound, our light weight fiberglass-reinforced components are stronger than steel. They will not twist, warp or bow after installation, and they maintain their full strength over the life of the product. Ease of installation Our arbors are custom fabricated to your specific dimensions, making installation easy and fast. Parts are clearly marked and all hardware is included so that your arbor can be easily assembled in very little time. Most arbors can be installed by two people in less than a day, using commonly available tools. The light weight of our components make them easy to handle, and complete installation instructions are included with each unit. Long life and exceptional appearance Fiberglass-reinforced composites are naturally corrosion resistant. They will not rust, corrode or pit regardless of the environment in which they are installed. Our fiberglass components hold paint extremely well, and because fiberglass is non-porous they will not absorb moisture - the number one cause of cracking and peeling. Components may be painted on site prior to installation, or painted our standard white or with a custom color at the factory prior to shipment.

Why Fiberglass?

StrengthFiberglass beams can span longer distances than wood or vinyl. Unlike wood, their high strength-to-weight ratio keeps them from sagging under their own weight. Unlike vinyl, they are unaffected by variations in temperature and will not sag in hot climates. Pound for pound, our light weight fiberglass-reinforced components are stronger than steel. They will not twist, warp or bow after installation, and they maintain their full strength over the life of the product.

Ease of installationOur arbors are custom fabricated to your specific dimensions, making installation easy and fast. Parts are clearly marked and all hardware is included so that your arbor can be easily assembled in very little time. Most arbors can be installed by two people in less than a day, using commonly available tools. The light weight of our components make them easy to handle, and complete installation instructions are included with each unit.

Long life and exceptional appearanceFiberglass-reinforced composites are naturally corrosion resistant. They will not rust, corrode or pit regardless of the environment in which they are installed. Our fiberglass components hold paint extremely well, and because fiberglass is non-porous they will not absorb moisture - the number one cause of cracking and peeling. Components may be painted on site prior to installation, or painted our standard white or with a custom color at the factory prior to shipment.

Quality and versatilitySpecial applicationsOur swing arbor is the perfect touch to provide a relaxing focal point where space is limited. It comes complete with hardware to support the swing of your choice, and may be customized to fit your needs.

Our custom accent and entrance arbors add an elegant visual element in the yard, garden or pool side.

Arbor components can also serve as eye-catching accents for both residential and commercial structures. We will be happy to assist you in developing custom applications.

A smart investmentOver the life of the arbor, the durability and weather

resistance of fiberglass components make our product a great investment. They are virtually maintenance free and will

provide many years of enjoyment.

Technology meets craftsmanshipWe use state-of-the-art manufacturing technology and fiberglass

composite materials to create structures of lasting value and beauty. Our structural components are made using the

pultrusion process, ensuring a consistently uniform and durable product. Our commitment to quality is second to none.
