        "text": "Maintenance varies significantly by material. Wood pergolas typically require annual cleaning, staining or sealing every 2-3 years to protect against weathering, rot, and pests. Aluminum and vinyl pergolas are considerably low-maintenance, usually needing only occasional washing with soap and water to remove dirt or mildew. Fiberglass pergolas also require minimal upkeep, similar to aluminum and vinyl. Choosing a low-maintenance material can save time and effort over the pergola's lifespan.",
