Frequently Asked Questions
General Information
What is a motorised pergola?
A motorised pergola is a modern outdoor canopy with an electric drive that opens and closes the louvres by remote control. It gives flexible protection from sun, rain and wind.
Where can the pergola be used?
It is ideal for terraces, gardens, balconies and hospitality outdoor spaces. The aluminium structure is designed for UK weather conditions.
How does it differ from a manual louvre roof?
A motorised system adjusts louvre angles at the touch of a button, so you can respond instantly to changing light and weather without physical effort.
Is the pergola weatherproof?
Yes. High-quality aluminium is rust-resistant, UV-resistant and waterproof when the louvres are fully closed. Rainwater drains through the integrated system.
Can I use it all year round?
Yes. It provides summer shade and stands up to rain and moderate snow loads in winter — see the wind and snow load table by size.
Do I need planning permission?
Rules vary by local authority and structure size. Many lightweight outdoor structures do not require permission, but we recommend checking with your local planning office before installation.
Product Features
What is it made from?
Powder-coated aluminium — durable, stable and low-maintenance compared with timber that needs regular treatment.
What motors are used?
Quiet electric motors developed for pergola systems, for reliable and even louvre movement.
Can it be controlled by remote?
Yes. Control is via a wireless remote control.
How loud is the motor?
The drive is optimised for quiet operation so it does not disturb the atmosphere on your terrace.
Is it fully waterproof?
Yes, when the louvres are fully closed. Water is guided invisibly through the posts so the area underneath stays dry.
Installation & Assembly
How complex is assembly?
The system is designed for DIY assembly with clear instructions and pre-assembled components. Typically three people can assemble it in a day. Full professional assembly is also available as an option.
What electrical supply is needed?
A standard 230V supply for the motor. We recommend a qualified electrician for wiring.
What surfaces can it be mounted on?
Concrete, stone, timber decking and prepared foundations, subject to suitable fixings.
Warranty
How long is the warranty?
5 years on the aluminium structure and 2 years on the motor unit and electronic components.
What does the warranty cover?
Material and manufacturing defects. Damage from misuse or extreme weather outside normal use is excluded.
Can I return the pergola?
Yes, within your statutory cooling-off period for online purchases, provided the product is unassembled and undamaged. See our returns policy for full details.
What if a part arrives damaged?
Contact customer support with a photo of the damage and we will arrange a free replacement of the affected parts.

Engineered for all seasons
Wind Resistance & Snow Load
The Pergola Classic is engineered for year-round outdoor use. Its aluminium frame and louvred roof are rated for wind speeds of up to 110 km/h — storm-force conditions — and carry a snow load of 160 – 320 kg/m² depending on the size.
Closed, the louvres form a waterproof roof that drains rainwater through the integrated gutters and posts.
160 – 320 kg/m²
Snow load, depending on size
In heavy snowfall we recommend tilting the louvres to the vertical position to minimise the load on the roof.

The service was fantastic. I'd especially highlight how engaged the support team were they answered every question quickly and immediately arranged replacements for two missing parts. I've rarely seen a company live the "customer is king" motto like this.
E
The pergola looks lovely we're very happy with it. Delivery arrived on time, though it did take a little while. Allow more time for assembly than you might expect. We had a fault with a side screen remote, but it was replaced without fuss and they even sent a spare motor just in case excellent customer service. We're satisfied and considering ordering another side screen.
A
Returning the screen even after four months was no problem we even received an upgraded replacement. Everything fits now. Very kind, friendly customer care staff who dealt with our issue competently. Many thanks.
O
Delivery was only announced by phone by the haulage firm, and only one driver came. An email two days beforehand would help. It would be useful if paper assembly instructions were included. One part was drilled incorrectly so a screw didn't fit, and another hole for the drive rail didn't go through properly, so there's no washer on that point now.
A
Competent, friendly and quick advice. Special requests were taken into account.
