Pergola Pros Retractable aluminium pergola with louvred roof open, showing adjustable slats

Pergola Pros Retractable

Open Sky In Seconds

The only pergola in our range with a roof that physically retracts: the louvres stack neatly to one side, opening up to 75% of the sky, then extend back in seconds when you want shelter from sun or rain. The roof sits on 200 × 200 × 3.0 mm posts, the heaviest in our range, fixed to 245 × 245 × 8 mm 304 stainless steel base plates.

Send approximate dimensions and photographs to begin. We first prepare an initial budget estimate using current manufacturer pricing. Detailed specification, CAD drawings and the firm written quotation follow if the estimate suits your budget.

ENGINEERING YOU CAN COMPARE

Made to measure. Specified in millimetres. Supplied direct.

Judge a pergola by details that can be checked: alloy temper, wall thickness, post and beam sections, roof mechanism, drainage, motor and written guarantee. We publish them for every model, and confirm your final specification in the detailed quotation stage.

Budget guide: allow £8,000–£20,000 for the made-to-measure pergola structure supplied.

Your price depends on the model, exact dimensions, structural layout and chosen accessories. Specialist HIAB delivery is quoted separately once we know your postcode and site access.

The first figure is an initial budget estimate. We prepare it using current manufacturer pricing and aim to return it within a few working days. If it suits your budget, we then confirm the detailed specification, CAD drawings and firm written quotation before you order.

Foundations, assembly and electrical connections are arranged by you. The detailed stage includes the information needed to plan those parts of the project.

THE SHOW PERGOLA · SUTTON, RETFORD

See one in Retford.

The show pergola in Sutton, Retford is a Platinum with a tilting roof rather than a stacking one. The finish, the blades and the build quality are the same family, so a viewing is still the best way to judge them; tell us it is the Retractable you are weighing when you book.

T6 is the harder temper of the same alloy: on the EN 755-2 minimums for the wall thicknesses we use, 6063-T6 is rated 170 MPa proof and 215 MPa tensile against 130 and 175 for T5, about 30% more load before the metal takes a permanent set. Glass sliding sides, screens, lighting and heating can be included in the initial estimate and are confirmed in the detailed quotation. Every guarantee is provided by Sterling Grid Security Ltd.

How the Retractable is built.

A motorised louvred roof that also retracts: the blades tilt for shade and passing rain, then stack aside for open sky. Add sliding glass walls when the brief is an enclosed bioclimatic room.

For a pergola with a retractable roof we use the heaviest structure we supply: a 200 × 200 × 3.0 mm post in 6063-T5 aluminium on 8 mm 304 stainless steel base plates. Comparable UK retractable systems come in fixed sizes to about 6 m × 4 m. Ours is built to your dimensions.

Alloy	6063-T5 aluminium
Post section	200 × 200 × 3.0 mm — the heaviest in our range
Base plate	304 stainless steel, 245 × 245 × 8 mm
Blade	228 × 38.9 × 1.8 mm
Beam / gutter	250 × 50 × 2.3 mm / 142 × 58 × 1.5 mm

Precision Delivery. Not Just Drop-Off.

Most pergola companies deliver to the kerb. We deliver directly to your installation site using specialist crane logistics.

HIAB Crane Delivery

We don’t just drop pallets at the kerb. Our logistics partners use truck-mounted cranes to place your pergola safely onto your prepared installation site.

Site Access Requirements

Your property should have clear access, a level hardstanding area, and a safe unloading zone for crane placement.

Delivery Safety Notice

Visible transit damage must be reported within 48 hours so our logistics partner can quickly resolve any issue.

Please describe site access clearly. Where a delivery fails for a reason within your control, we may recover our reasonable actual costs, evidenced and notified to you before redelivery is arranged. You are not charged where the failure was caused by us, by the manufacturer or by the carrier.

How much of the roof opens?

Up to 75%. The louvres tilt to 85° and then slide and stack to one side, so most of the roof is open sky rather than tilted blades. They extend back in seconds when you want shelter from sun or rain.

What is the Retractable built on?

200 × 200 × 3.0 mm posts, the heaviest section in our range, on 245 × 245 × 8 mm 304 stainless steel base plates, with drainage concealed down through the posts. It arrives in a shipping crate and is set down by HIAB crane, so the crane needs a clear path to the spot.

Is the Retractable made to size?

Yes. Comparable UK retractable systems come in fixed sizes to about 6 m × 4 m. Ours is built to your dimensions, up to 4.0 m × 6.0 m as a single bay and in multi-bay configurations beyond that.

Can I see a Retractable in Retford?

The show pergola is a Platinum with a tilting roof; the Retractable's stacking roof is not on display. The finish, the blades and the build quality are the same family, so the visit is still the best way to judge them. Tell us it is the Retractable you are weighing when you book and we will talk you through the differences on the day.

What does a Retractable cost?

Budget guide: allow £8,000–£20,000 for the made-to-measure pergola structure supplied. Your chosen model, exact dimensions, structural layout and accessories determine the final figure. Specialist HIAB delivery is quoted separately once we know your postcode and site access. Send approximate dimensions and photographs for an initial budget estimate, which we aim to return within a few working days. If it suits your budget, we then prepare the detailed specification, CAD drawings and firm written quotation.
