Made from galvanised steel, the design is UV protected and therefore resistant to fading and other damage typically caused by heat. This pergola allows you to extend your outdoor season, keeping the rain out and letting the sun in, thanks to the tilting louvres. With the crank handle, you can easily switch between a closed, sheltered space and an open top.
This pergola ultimately allows you to choose between sitting in sunshine or shade, and provides shelter should it start to rain at a moment's notice - typical of British weather! There is a handy built-in drainage system which prevents you from having to open the louvred roof to let water drain. Any rainwater that lands on the louvres flows into U-shaped channels within the pergola's horizontal framework. From here, it will then flow into the inside of the hollow pergola legs and vertically down to the ground.
This genius system means that you'll never see the water draining off of the pergola. If you were to open the louvres when wet, the U-shaped channels prevent rainwater from dripping under the sheltered area, and getting your garden furniture wet Our weather ready pergolas offer you a sheltered option for you and your garden furniture to stay dry in rainy conditions. However, in heavy downpours, there's always a chance your pergola may leak.
The build time is approx 2 hours and should be positioned on a solid and hard surface, like concrete bases. In order for the drainage system to do its job, the pergola should be secured to a patio that has a gradual decline. Most patios would natually have this, in order for rain water to flow away from the house.
Please ensure the pergola legs are securely bolted to the floor using the holes within each leg base plate, and secured using the expansion bolts which are supplied as standard. Our pergolas do not require planning permission.
