Bioclimatic pergolas
Covered outdoor structures for gardens, terraces and hospitality spaces.
A bioclimatic pergola is an aluminium pergola with a roof of adjustable louvres. Open the louvres to let in light and air, angle them to block the sun, or close them to keep off the rain. It can be fixed to a wall or stand on its own.
Enter the area you want to cover and tell us how it will be fixed.
Why a louvred roof
- Shade when you want it. Turn the louvres to follow the sun through the day.
- Air when it is warm. Open louvres let heat escape instead of trapping it under a solid roof.
- Cover when it rains. Closed louvres shed water into the frame and down the posts.
- Aluminium frame. Light, strong and does not rot, rust or need painting like timber.
Closing the sides
For a space you can use in more weather, the sides can be closed with zip screens for shade and wind, or with sliding glass or guillotine glass for a room you can open up in summer.
Where they are used
Patios and terraces at home, roof terraces, and the outdoor seating of restaurants, cafes and hotels.

Questions we are asked
What is the difference between a bioclimatic pergola and a standard pergola?
A standard pergola has a fixed or fabric roof. A bioclimatic pergola has rotating aluminium louvres, so you control shade, light and ventilation, and can close it against rain.
Do I need planning permission for a pergola?
In England, many garden structures are permitted development within height and size limits, but rules depend on the size, the height and where it sits on your property. Check with your council or the Planning Portal before you build.
Can it be used in winter?
With the louvres closed and the sides fitted with screens or glass, a pergola can extend the season, but it is not a heated, insulated room.
