PERGOLA PROS · RETRACTABLE
Retractable Pergolas
A retractable pergola takes the louvred roof a step further: the blades don't just tilt, they physically retract and stack neatly to one side, opening up to 75% of the sky above. When you want shelter again, they extend back across and close in seconds.
Often searched for as a pergola with retractable roof, or a retractable roof pergola — the same thing, and the distinction that matters is that the roof genuinely opens rather than only tilting.

Retract, or shelter
The Retractable is the only model in our range with a roof that physically retracts: rather than staying overhead and tilting, the louvres slide and stack neatly to one side, so you get genuinely open sky above the space when you want it, and a sealed, drained roof when you don't. It's built on a heavier-duty structure to carry that extra movement, and operates by motorised remote.
How it compares in our range
If you mainly want to angle light and shade, an adjustable louvred roof may suit; if opening the roof right up matters to you, the retractable is the model to look at. Like the rest of the range it is motorised and made to measure. Sliding glass walls can be specified when you want the complete bioclimatic room.

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.
