What is a Pergola?

A Pergola Awning is a combination of a traditional garden structure + retractable awnings. It is made combining columns, beams, and rafters to make the traditional garden structure, or the Pergola. Normal pergolas can allow for shade by allowing vines and other vegetation to grow on the structure. While this can work for some applications, most prefer to add awnings to their pergola structure.

How is a Pergola Awning different?

When adding elements of our Retractable Awnings to the Pergola we get an updated European take on a traditional Pergola structure. It works amazingly well with different styles of home architecture. The fabric used can also add color and style to your outdoor space.

So why should I get a Pergola Awning?

When deciding if you will get a Pergola Awning you can consider these benefits: Protection from the sun via the shade produced by the Pergola Awning, Wind protection designed to withstand higher winds than traditional retractable awnings, and protection from the rain.
