Yannick builds wood pergolas designed to last in the Marina Alta climate, which means handling strong Spanish sun, sea air and seasonal swings without falling apart. He works in two woods: pressure-treated pine for affordability and a 15–20 year lifespan, and castaño chestnut, which is naturally rot-resistant and lasts 25+ years when installed properly with stainless steel screws and the right tannic-acid treatment. A pergola job rarely stops at the pergola itself — the same crew can pour and level the concrete floor, tile it to match the house, and add an outdoor kitchen with a counter, sink and proper BBQ housing. The idea is you end up with a finished room outside, not a wooden frame surrounded by half-done ground.
A look at recent builds across Jávea, Moraira and Denia.
Castaño structure built into the garden, finished and treated for year-round Marina Alta sun.
The bits that decide whether a pergola lasts five years or twenty-five.
Pressure-treated pine where budget matters. Castaño chestnut where lifespan does.
Tannic acid eats normal screws. We don't skip this — it's why castaño lasts 25+ years.
Concrete floor, tiling, outdoor kitchen — same crew, no subcontractor handovers.
Same four-step rhythm on every job, big or small.
