A pergola traditionally means a free-standing structure covered with plants. In modern times, the word "pergola" is used more freely and a pergola is often described as a structure consisting of four columns with beams on top.
In most countries, a pergola is something that is mainly used for sun shade.
In the UK, the pergola is becoming the next ‘must-have' item for your outdoor space.
It immediately enhances any back garden, pool, patio, or deck.
At PERGOLUX, we have created a pergola with a louvered roof with slats that can open and close. We have added in a water drainage system to keep you dry. And we have designed all of the accessories needed to you enjoy your pergola, regardless of the weather.
When you order a product from us, subject to the product's availability in stock, it takes only 6-10 business days until you have the product delivered.
The pergola will be delivered with Panther Logistics. You'll be contacted a minimum of 24 hours before your order is scheduled with Panther. Once Panther has your order, you'll be notified. Panther will contact you the night before the scheduled delivery to confirm the time slot.

Yes! By using PERGOLUX Screens you can close them to mitigate the wind. You can also install PERGOLUX wooden slat wall to reduce wind. Due to spaces between the slats, this is not windproof but will reduce the amount of wind considerably.
The roof is dimensioned for 60kg / sqm and can therefore withstand a lot of snow. If it snows more than this, the slats should be in the open position so that the snow falls through.
The pergola has been tested in strong winds, but we always recommend leaving the slats open when the pergola is not in use so that the pergola does not become a large wind trap and thus damaged by the wind.
The slats on the roof are overlapping and are made so that the water flows down into a rain gutter on the beams of the pergola that leads the columns so that the water runs outside of the pergola.
PERGOLUX pergola comes in standard sizes 3x3m, 3x4m, 3x5m, 3x6m, 4x4m, 4x5m and 4x6m. If you want a different size than this, the pergola can also be easily adapted.
Height adjustment:
Use a suitable saw and cut the columns to the correct height. Then you have to drill 4 new holes for the column foot. When the columns have been cut, we recommend that the end where it has been cut is covered with silicone or varnish.
Adjustment of width:
If you want to adjust the width of the pergola, this can be done in the longitudinal direction. The slats are placed per 12cm and you can therefore easily cut the beams between each of the slats. When the beam is cut, you must also cut a rail at the top and the gutters in the same length.
It is fine to attach extra equipment to the frame of the pergola to give it a more personal touch, but such adjustments are made at your own risk (feel free to ask us for guidance).
For example, if you need to attach a heat lamp, this can be screwed to the beam at the top. We recommend that self-drilling aluminum screws are used to prevent the screw from corroding.
We normally calculate 3-5 hours for 2 people to mount the pergola, but this of course varies greatly from person to person. We normally calculate 1 hour to mount a screen or a wooden slat wall to the pergola after the pergola has been set up.
There must be a solid surface under the pergola so that the pergola can be screwed to the surface. A solid surface can be a patio made of wood or concrete.
Absolutely not! We have prepared a good installation guide so that you can easily assemble it yourself. We strongly recommend to have 2 people to mount the pergola. If you do not want / are not able to assemble the pergola yourself, we recommend that you contact a craftsman near you.
We are currently in the process of implementation a tailor-made solution for customisable sizing.
The PERGOLUX pergola comes in standard sizes 3x3m, 3x4m, 3x5m, 3x6m, 4x4m, 4x5m and 4x6m. If you want a different size than this, the pergola can also be easily adapted
The Skydance models come in our standard sizes 3x3m, 3x4m, 4x4m and 4x6m.
The Sundream comes in 3x3m, 3x4m, 3x5m, 4x4m, 4x5m and 4x6m. While we do not create a truly customised size, there are a few ways to modify your pergola.
For a Larger Pergola: Many of our customers will combine pergolas to achieve the dimensions they are looking for.
Adjustment of Height: Use a suitable saw and cut the columns to the correct height. Then you have to drill 4 new holes for the column base. When the columns have been cut, we recommend that the end where it has been cut is covered with silicone or varnish.
Adjustment of Width: If you want to adjust the width of the pergola, this can be done lengthwise. The slats are placed every 12 cm and you can therefore easily cut the beams between each of the slats. When the beam has been cut, you must also cut a groove at the top and the rain gutters to the same length.

A PERGOLUX pergola is basically a maintenance-free product. We still recommend lubricating all moving parts twice a year in early spring and before the winter.
The pergola's building material is powder-coated aluminum. This means that the product can withstand being outside in the winter. It will not be damaged by normal cold and heat.
Development that is not permitted:
• Development is not permitted in front of the house, or in front of a hypothetical line drawn through the front to the side boundary of land that surrounds the house.
•If the pergola is erected more than 2m within the boundary of the dwelling house. Its height must not exceed 2.5 metres.
Must not exceed 3 metres in height, in any other case.
•It mustn't cover more than 50% of the area of your land.
•It cannot be situated within the curtilage of a listed building
•If your house is in a conservation area and your pergola is more than 20m from the house and greater than 10 square metres, you will need planning permission.
