There are many benefits of buying wooden garden pergolas, below we provide two sets of benefits – for with or without a roof. Benefits of garden pergolas without a roof
If you’re planning to use your pergola year-round, a louvred roof is a good option. In the warmer months, the louvre system will protect against heat, but it can also help keep the rain at bay in cooler seasons.The aluminium frame is powder coated and resistant against rust. Each part is easy to lift, which makes assembly a reasonably straightforward task as long as you have a few extra pairs of hands. Assembly takes around five hours. All tools come included and there are four pre-drilled holes on the leg bases that allow you to secure it to the floor.
Our B300and Sunrain pergolas with retractable roofs are manufactured to handle the variable British weather. The sliding roof is made from high-quality, waterproof and fadeproof material, whilst rainwater is channelled harmlessly away through a concealed guttering system to avoid pooling on the canvas. Open roofs keep a sense of open air, and pergolas with this style of roof can look very stylish. Whilst these pergolas are simple, easy to install and will be bright inside, they don’t offer you much shade. The only coverage offered is from the slatted beams.

The Palram Canopia Sierra Aluminium Lean-To Pergola has a lean-to design instead of being free-standing. Lean-to pergolas make use of an existing wall and are a great option for putting near patio doors and extending your living space. This pergola projects 3 m outwards from the wall, with a width of 4 m. The roof is slanted, providing shade underneath even when the sun is low, while also allowing rain water to run off. Most louvred pergolas can be opened or closed by the simple press of a button or by turning a handle. Therefore, you can adjust the amount of shade you receive in seconds. The most advanced louvre systems have built in sensors that close the shutters when rain is sensed. Aluminium pergolas usually have either an open roof, a louvred roof or an adjustable fabric canopy. Some pergolas can have a static fabric canopy which can’t be moved. Once you’ve got the potential dimensions in mind, use markers to work out where the corners of the pergola will go.
Climbing plant support - grow climbing plants such as clematis, ivy, and wisteria, which will benefit from the support the pergola provides Wrought iron can add an elegant touch to your outdoor space. These models must be anchored to both a wall and the ground. Vinyl is another good option when it comes to pergola construction. It’s become very popular in recent years thanks to vinyl’s low-maintenance properties. The downside to vinyl is that it’s less sturdy than either aluminium or wood. If you live in an area with strong winds or a high chance of heavy snow, you may find that a vinyl pergola gets damaged.There are a couple of different structural designs to choose from. You’ll need to decide between a lean-to or a freestanding pergola . If you want the pergola to act as an extension of your interior space, lean-to pergolas are a great choice. The downside is that you’re limited on where you can install these – they need to be erected against an existing wall. The freestanding and relatively compact design means this pergola can be installed almost anywhere. It measures 3 x 3 m so it’s perfect for standard gardens. It is 2.4 m tall which ensures there’s ample headroom underneath. If your pergola is near to your property boundary, you’ll need to ensure it doesn’t affect your neighbours. Oftentimes in the UK, structures that are within 2 m of the property line need to be under 2.5 m high. Otherwise, planning permission may be required. If you’re unsure, it’s worth reading the regulations for your local area. Measuring the Space What’s more, all Broadview pergolas come with a 5-year guarantee.

Add retractable sides to your pergola Pergolas with louvred roofs (like tilting window blinds) are often more expensive but they are good if you want more rain protection .

My Top Recommended Aluminium Pergolas
Roof styles vary as well. For a good combination of affordability, versatility and shade, I recommend an adjustable fabric canopy . These are usually made from polyester. Adjustable fabric canopies can be used to create full or partial shade and are easy to alter. They are usually shower resistant, so should protect the interior from light rain.
