What materials should I choose for my pergola in autumn?

As autumn approaches, Im considering installing a new pergola in my backyard. Ive always loved spending time outdoors, but with the cooler, unpredictable weather, Im unsure about which materials would be best for the autumn season. I want something durable that can handle the occasional rain and wind, yet still looks inviting with the fall colours. Ive heard about various options, like timber and aluminium, but Im not sure which would suit the climate here. My main concern is that the materials should be able to withstand the elements without deteriorating too quickly. Ive also thought about getting a pergola that doesnt require too much maintenance. So, I started researching to find out the best materials for this time of year.
