Material Stress Test: How Strong is Aircraft Grade Aluminum?

Описание: For an aluminum pergola, or really any backyard structure, you need a material that will hold up to the elements. Something like 6063-T6. That's what we're trying to dent in this video.

Why that alloy specifically? Well, it's the best material for a pergola or gazebo. It's the best you can get for a commercial or high end backyard project. (and yes, that's what we use at The Luxury Pergola)

If you're thinking about an aluminum vs wood pergola, you may want to watch until the end.... Imaging what that would do to a DIY wood pergola!

We did some tests and very rough calculations to get the kinetic energy it takes to put a dent in this aluminum beam. Enjoy!
