PERGOLA PROS · LOUVRED
Louvred Pergolas
A louvred pergola has a roof made of aluminium blades — louvres — that pivot from flat-open to fully closed. Open, they filter light and let air move through; closed, they form a sealed roof that keeps rain off, with the water channelled away through drainage integrated into the beams and posts.

How the roof works
The louvre blades span the roof and rotate together on a motorised mechanism. Because they're powder-coated aluminium rather than timber, they don't warp, rot or need re-coating, and the frame carries a concealed drainage system that takes rainwater from the closed louvres down through the hollow posts.
Roof and sides
Some people search for a pergola with roof and sides, and that is a fair description of what ours can be specified as. The louvres are the roof. The sides are specified per elevation — left open, fitted with ZIP screens, or glazed with sliding glass walls — so you can close the face the weather comes from and leave the rest open. The structure stays freestanding either way: it can sit against a wall where the eaves height allows, but nothing is drilled into your brickwork.
Across the range
Every Pergola Pros model has a louvred roof: the Gold, the Platinum and the Retractable. If your interest is controlling the microclimate underneath, see our bioclimatic pergola page; if you want the roof to open right up, see the retractable option. Every model is motorised.
Built for British weather
We do not publish a wind or snow rating, and our FAQ explains why. Your quotation includes a foundation specification for your own site, because a pergola is only as strong as the base it stands on.
Made to measure, quote on enquiry
Louvred pergolas are built to your exact measurements and supplied on enquiry rather than from a price list. Send your dimensions for a quote; delivery is by HIAB crane, placed on your prepared site.
Watertight with the louvres closed — and it stays that way if it is maintained. Rain drains through channels in the blades and down inside the posts, so leaves and debris left to build up will hold water back. Keep the blades, gutters and drainage clear, and check the blade seals as part of routine care. Our Stewardship Program sets out what to do and when.
