Wood for it's insulation value, you can buy vinyl covered wood frames also.

I built my pergola out of Fl cypress it's great.

But I will use cypress for the frames, but they will be finished with a bronze color stain on the exterior and left natural interior.

Before the glass is set all the frames will be finished with a marine grade high UV finish 4 coats, should last 5 years out side indefinably on the interior.

If the exterior is re-coated as needed it shouldn't be a big job.
But the look should be great.

My architect is stopping by tomorrow to start the plans.
