Durable Eco-Friendly WPC Pergola for Outdoor Garden and Balcony Projects


As modern architecture moves toward sustainability and comfort, WPC Pergolas (Wood Plastic Composite Pergolas) have become an increasingly popular choice for outdoor projects. They combine the elegant appearance of natural wood with the superior durability of composite materials. Whether used for gardens, patios, balconies, or resorts, WPC pergolas create a stylish and relaxing outdoor environment that lasts for years with minimal maintenance.

What Is a WPC Pergola?


A WPC Pergola is made from a scientifically engineered blend of wood fiber, recycled plastic, and additives. This composite material retains the warm appearance of timber while solving the long-standing issues of cracking, rotting, and fading that come with natural wood. The hollow or solid profiles are extruded into beams, columns, and rafters, making installation simple, efficient, and eco-friendly.

Unlike traditional wooden pergolas, WPC pergolas do not require painting, sealing, or frequent replacement. The structure remains stable even under harsh sunlight, heavy rain, and temperature changes — perfect for both private gardens and public landscapes.

Advantages of WPC Pergola


  • Weather Resistance: Withstands heat, rain, and UV exposure without fading or cracking.

  • Low Maintenance: No need for regular painting or sealing; simply wash with water when needed.

  • Eco-Friendly Material: Made from recycled wood and plastic, contributing to sustainable architecture.

  • Elegant Appearance: Available in various wood grains and colors that complement natural surroundings.

  • Customizable Design: Adjustable dimensions and colors to fit different architectural styles.

  • Durability: Service life of over 15 years, ideal for long-term outdoor use.


Engineering Case Study: Seaside Resort Project in the Netherlands


In 2024, Unclewood collaborated with HGB-Trading Nederland B.V., a well-known landscape design company in the Netherlands. The client sought a modern pergola solution for a seaside resort located in Noordwijk, where strong winds and salty air posed challenges to traditional wooden structures.

We supplied dark grey co-extrusion WPC pergola beams with UV protection and anti-corrosion treatment. The project included six freestanding pergolas used as outdoor lounge shades beside the pool and café area.

After installation, the resort management reported that:

  • The surface color remained stable after one year of exposure to sun and sea wind.

  • The structure required no repainting or repair, saving maintenance costs.

  • Visitors appreciated the wood-like texture and modern design, which blended perfectly with the coastal scenery.


This project became a reference case for several upcoming resort and villa developers in Europe, who later contacted Unclewood for customized outdoor solutions.

Applications of WPC Pergola


WPC pergolas are widely used for both residential and commercial outdoor spaces, including:

Private gardens and patios

Rooftop terraces and balconies

Outdoor restaurants, cafés, and lounges

Hotel and resort landscapes

Walkways, parking shades, and public parks

Their modular structure allows designers to integrate lighting, climbing plants, solar panels, or curtains, creating multi-functional outdoor spaces.

Color Options and Customization

Unclewood offers a wide range of color options, including Teak, Coffee, Light Grey, Dark Grey, Cedar Brown, and Charcoal Black.
Surface textures can be sanded, brushed, or embossed wood grain, depending on the desired visual effect.

For commercial projects, customized beam sizes, connection joints, and aluminum reinforcements can be produced to meet specific engineering standards.

Installation & Maintenance


Our WPC pergolas are easy to install using modular systems with concealed fasteners. Aluminum reinforcement can be added inside beams to increase load-bearing capacity.
Maintenance is minimal — simply clean with water or mild detergent. Unlike traditional wood, WPC will not splinter, rot, or attract termites.

Packaging and Transportation


Each WPC pergola component is carefully packed with PE film and secured on export pallets to ensure safety during shipping.
We cooperate with professional freight forwarders to arrange containerized sea shipping to Europe, America, Australia, and the Middle East, guaranteeing on-time delivery.
