Maintenance-free - they are almost maintenance-free, once installed your pergola will require minimal care The PURPLE LEAF Aluminium Pergola is the best aluminium pergola overall, capable of totally transforming your outdoor space. It has a contemporary grey finish, retractable canopy, and stable freestanding design so you aren’t limited when it comes to placement.

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 SpacePergolas can either be freestanding or attached to a house. These create a shaded or semi-shaded space. The roof is traditionally flat, and they tend to have more vertical posts than arbours. The roof of a pergola can be left open or covered with a waterproof fabric. They are intended to offer some shelter, particularly from the sun. Be aware that, as with all metal furniture, the metal can get very hot to the touch when the sun shines. It’s also advisable to keep an eye on the screws and connections during turbulent weather.

If you’ve got a little more space, 3 x 3 m pergolas can also be suitable for small and medium gardens. As a rough guide, you can probably seat four to six people under a 3 x 3 m pergola. Climbing plant support - grow climbing plants such as clematis, ivy, and wisteria, which will benefit from the support the pergola provides Made from high-quality aluminium, this pergola is both lightweight and stable. According to SORARA, it is also resistant to a wind force of 120 km/h (75 mph). It’s supplied with expansion bolts to attach it to the ground, and assembly is relatively straight forward. It takes approximately three hours to put together. For even more control, you can add integrated roller screens to the sides to create a new enclosed living space to entertain guests or relax. Choosing to add integrated LED lighting and outdoor heaters will ensure that you are able to use your pergola all year round, and not just during the warm summer months.

Wood is combustible so fires may be a risk – especially if you are using a fire pit or BBQ near the pergola

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. The primary purpose of a pergola is to give character to the space surrounding your home. With this in mind, your choice of pergola will ultimately depend on the look you're hoping to create. However, another benefit of vinyl is that it’s generally very affordable. It can also be easily painted to match any colour schemes present in your garden. Wrought iron can add an elegant touch to your outdoor space. These models must be anchored to both a wall and the ground. 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.Pergolas, often confused with arbours, awnings and even gazebos, are outdoor structures consisting of vertical columns that support a ceiling grid. This grid can either be left open, or covered with a canopy. Whilst a canopy will provide full shade, leaving the ceiling grid open will offer more sun.
