Shelter and privacy

Not only are metal pergolas sleek and stylish but they also provide shelter within your garden. Come rain or shine, with a pergola you can continue to make the most of your garden, whatever the weather. In the height of summer, the pergola can provide some much-needed shade to protect your family from hard UV rays. During spring showers, a metal pergola with sides is the perfect way to shelter your family from the rain from all angles. Additionally, a pergola can add some privacy to your outdoor space.

For a totally versatile solution to staying outside on a rainy day or during the warmness of the sun’s rays, a pergola with a louvres is the ticket. You can either shield yourself completely from the elements or slightly alter the angle of the louvres enjoy the drizzle of the rain or warmth of the sun. With a pergola, your outdoor living space is no longer limited by the weather. It is functional in nearly any climate, giving you the opportunity to enjoy your outside space throughout the seasons.

Adaptable

Pergolas with an adjustable roof and sides give you more options. The benefit of a louvered pergola is that you can change the roofing to allow in more light or provide more shade, thanks to the adjustable mechanisms. You can opt for a completely open and airy feel, or a more secluded option that provides you with a garden sanctuary. The versatility of a pergola with adjustable roof and sides provides you with a changing aesthetic that will keep your garden looking fresh.

Personal Style

The structure of a pergola is simple, but you can easily add your own personal touch to it. You can enhance its attractiveness by adding lighting accessories that reflect both your personality and outdoor space. Design your garden the way you want it to look and make your pergola the centrepiece of it all.

Create an outdoor pergola with an old-fashioned, romantic feel by encouraging climber plants to grow up and around. Pair this with more flowers and soft furnishings. If your style is more minimalist, then keep it simple. Stick to a monochrome colour scheme and scale back on the accessories.

Transform your pergola into the perfect reading and relaxing corner. Lay out a carpet, put some cushions on the floor and create a cosy spot to relax and unwind with a coffee and a good book. Alternatively, create a unique garden nook. Position garden swings under the pergola, a small coffee table and swing the day away in the garden.

You can also get creative with lighting around your pergola to transform it into your perfect outdoor space. Select furniture that best serves your garden and position this under the pergola to make the most of it year-round. Other ways to make the most of your pergola are with a hot-tub, fire-pit, or an outdoor kitchen. The possibilities really are endless.
