A pergola is an open or covered structure that serves as a stylish sun and weather protection in the garden or on the patio:

• Creates a defined seating or lounge area
• Provides pleasant shade and an airy ambiance
• Ideal for patios, gardens, or as an extension of living space
• Can be decoratively designed with plants, lights, or various roofing options

Tip: Pergolas combine functionality with design and enhance the outdoor area both visually and practically.

Pergolas differ mainly in design, installation, and type of roofing:

• Freestanding pergolas: flexibly placeable in the garden
• Attached pergolas: mounted to the house wall, ideal for patio extension
• Pergolas with roofing: optionally with awning fabric, waterproof tarpaulin (29% polyester / 71% PVC), bamboo mats, or polycarbonate sheets

Tip: The right pergola depends on the location, desired protection, and visual style.

Pergolas are made of durable materials specifically designed for outdoor use:

• Aluminum / powder-coated steel: weather-resistant, stable, and virtually maintenance-free
• Wood: natural look, robust, should be regularly oiled or impregnated
• Roofing: awning fabric, waterproof tarpaulins (29% polyester / 71% PVC) or bamboo mats for natural sun protection

Tip: The combination of a sturdy frame and suitable roofing ensures comfort and a long lifespan.

The optimal size of a pergola depends on its use and available space:

• For seating or dining areas: pergola should completely cover table and chairs
• For lounge areas: plan extra space for freedom of movement
• In the garden: adapt proportions to the surroundings and total area

Tip: Plan a bit more generously to ensure sufficient shade even when the sun is low.

Correct fastening is crucial for stability and safety:

• Recommended method: embed posts in concrete for maximum hold
• Alternative: ground anchor plates or post bases – depending on the surface
• Important: The surface must be absolutely firm and load-bearing
• Not suitable: tiles on sand or gravel – even with large slabs

Tip: Stable fastening increases lifespan and ensures safety in wind and weather.
