Pergolas
There is something so special about the timeless beauty of an expertly crafted pergola. It forms the epicenter of outdoor family unions, and creates a welcoming aura of homeliness. Do you need a shade providing pergola for your patio? With translucent or tinted roof sheeting perhaps? Perhaps you'd like a retractable shade awning to go with your pergola? Painted a color of your choice? No problem! Our professional team would be happy to transform your vision into a reality.
Which type should you choose?
Pergolas can be classed into 5 groups:
- Basic grid type
- Basic without purlins (rafters only over beams)
- Basic with roof sheeting
- Shade providing
- Shade providing with sheeting
A basic pergola consists of posts supporting a beam or beams, over which rafters are placed at ~800mm centers, and finally purlins are placed over the rafters at ~800mm centers. This type of pergola gives a pleasant 800mm x 800mm grid effect.
The basic with sheeting is self explanatory
A shade providing pergola is the same as the basic except for one crucial element: the purlins are spaced much closer together to create shade. 50% shade and 25% shade are common options. This pergola gives a pleasant slatted appearance.
Once again, the shade providing pergola with sheeting is fairly self explanatory.
What about roof sheeting?
Our roof sheeting options include:
- Clear polycarbonate IBR profile sheeting
- Tinted polycarbonate IBR profile sheeting
- Clear polycarbonate corrugated profile sheeting
- Tinted polycarbonate corrugated profile sheeting
Our unique facia design can help reduce visibility of the sheeting from the sides of the pergola if required.
Our policarbonate sheeting is 0.8-1.0mm UV resistant, and extremly durable even in the harshest environments.
It generally requires no maintenance with the exception of the odd cleaning now and then.
