Shade that makes the outside usable again

An aluminium pergola turns a terrace, garden or poolside into somewhere you can actually sit for most of the year. Unlike timber it does not warp, split or need resealing every season, and unlike steel it does not rust in coastal air.

Aluminium Pergolas

What you get with aluminium pergolas

An aluminium pergola turns a terrace, garden or poolside into somewhere you can actually sit for most of the year. Unlike timber it does not warp, split or need resealing every season, and unlike steel it does not rust in coastal air.

The choice that matters is the roof. A fixed roof gives constant shade and rain cover. A motorised louvred roof lets you rotate the blades — full shade at midday, open to the sky in the evening, closed and draining when it rains.

Specification

What we build into every set

01

Motorised louvred roofs

Rotating aluminium blades on a quiet motor, controlled by remote, wall switch or phone, with an optional rain sensor that closes the roof automatically.

02

Integrated rainwater drainage

Water is carried through the blades into concealed channels inside the posts, so a closed roof in a downpour does not simply shed water onto the seating.

03

Engineered for wind

Post sizes, fixings and blade spans calculated for the exposure of the actual site — important on a rooftop or an open coastal plot.

04

Lighting and screening built in

Dimmable perimeter LEDs, heaters, fans, and motorised or fixed side screens wired within the frame with no visible cabling.

Options

Types of aluminium pergolas we supply

Which of these suits the project is a decision we make together at survey stage, against the opening and how it will be used.

Motorised louvred pergolas

The adjustable option — rotate for the sun angle, close for rain, open fully on a cool evening.

Fixed-roof pergolas and canopies

Solid or insulated roof panels giving permanent shade and full rain cover for car ports, entrances and outdoor dining.

Poolside and garden structures

Freestanding structures over a pool deck or lawn, finished to resist chlorine and salt exposure.

Custom-made pergolas

Non-standard geometry — wrapping a corner, following an irregular boundary or spanning an awkward span — designed to the plot rather than to a catalogue size.

Process

From first visit to handover

01

Consultation & site survey

We visit the property, measure every opening and talk through how the space is actually used before anything is priced.

02

Design & specification

Drawings, configurations, glass specification and finishes, set against orientation and exposure rather than picked from a catalogue.

03

Fabrication & quality check

Profiles are cut and assembled to the surveyed figures in our own workshop, and every unit is checked before it leaves.

04

Installation & handover

Our own installation team fits, seals and adjusts on site, then walks you through operation and maintenance.

FAQ

Aluminium Pergolas questions

Yes. Closed blades seal against each other and drain through the frame into the posts. Very heavy rain combined with strong wind can push a little water through the seams, which is normal for a louvred system.
