Frequently Asked Louvred Pergola Questions
What is a Louvred Pergola?
A louvred pergola is a conventional pergola structure with a louvred roof that offers various options of protection and shade depending on the weather.
This ingenious design allows you to rotate the louvres to adjust the sun and shade to suit your needs and the weather. You can also fully retract the pergola roof for a complete open-air experience with maximum sunlight or close it. When the louvres are fully shut, they provide shelter from the rain and even snow!
If you want to create an outdoor room that you can use whatever the weather, then a louvred pergola really offers every possibility. Create a cosy den in a hidden area of a large garden, extend living accommodation in a compact courtyard or add living space behind an old cottage with a Mediterranean terrace design.
Louvred pergolas are incredibly versatile and fit into all sorts of locations. With the roof absent, they very much offer a view of the classic pergola with climbing plants but equally, they can create another room outdoors without the inconvenience and expense of something permanent like a home extension or conservatory.
Why choose a Louvred Pergola?
Louvred pergolas offer every permutation, the classic pergola design with the option to use in all weathers. In the UK, we often get all four seasons in one day. Now the weather won’t limit how much time you spend outside.
Louvred pergolas complement any garden design and can be styled with lights and plants. Choose climbers for the frame or decorate with hanging baskets and potted plants. Simple remote-control operation from a handheld device or app on your phone means you can match your pergola to the changeable British weather.
Keep an open design, so you feel at one with nature, blend plants to create green walls or fit shades which allow you to choose. Design the perfect haven for downtime with a drink, your favourite music or a good book.
With quality construction and easy maintenance, our louvred pergolas are the perfect addition to any outdoor space or garden design.
Name: Sarah Sixsmith
Location: Woodbridge, Suffolk
Cost: £3,360
Sarah has a listed property in a conservation area, so she has been limited in extending her living accommodation without falling foul of the listing regulations. Her garden is small, and she didn’t want a conservatory to eat into that previous outside space, plus her use was only going to be occasional. With our help and advice, Sarah chose a louvred pergola to sit in the corner of her garden. She blended it with climbing plants and shrubs, and the louvred roof allowed her to use it whenever she wanted plus, there were no issues with planning permission.
Name: James Evans
Location: Salisbury
Cost: £7,750
James wanted to organise a garden makeover as a present for his wife’s significant birthday. Coordinating with our service and delivery team, he arranged for the installation of a louvred pergola whilst she was out for the day, plus some stylish furniture which he stored with a friend. We set up and showed him how the roof worked, so the whole installation was complete within an hour and all ready by the time she came home.
Louvred Pergola Projects
"I chose a louvred pergola because it would create a room outside, and our house is bursting at the seams! With the side shades and a solid roof, if we need it, we’ve been able to build a virtually permanent outside living space, whatever the weather, but it blends in perfectly with the garden. We don’t have a large garden, and I was concerned that a pergola would look too dominant, but our design with potted plants and hanging baskets fits in just perfectly. The service from Pergola.co.uk was excellent too."

"I have always wanted a pergola as an outdoor retreat, but our weather conditions in Scotland are challenging, to say the least! When I discovered Pergola.co.uk I was thrilled to find louvred pergolas in their collection, something I had never seen before. What a perfect idea. Now I have my bolthole in the garden and can enjoy it virtually all year round. We chose to locate it in a corner where the fence acts as one wall, and we have optional shades for the other two. It’s ideal for my garden and our climate."

"I have a couple of holiday lets and, in a very competitive market, our louvred pergolas have enabled us to steal a march on other local rentals. We have two barn conversions; one is large, so we use the pergola to cover the hot tub – our guests love it. The other property is compact, so our louvred pergola has enabled us to create more living space outside. They look fantastic and the quality is just what we want as our lets are high-end and people expect a really decent standard plus, Pergola.co.uk were so prompt and helpful, really excellent service."
John
Dorset
"I bought my terraced home a couple of years ago; I have a tiny courtyard at the back, which my neighbours overlook, so this doesn’t really encourage me to go outdoors. When I bought my louvred pergola from Pergola.co.uk, I can honestly say it revolutionised my life. Now, I have a green area filled with plants and flowers completely secluded from my neighbours. I can raise the shades and alter the roof position if they’re out, but if I want privacy, it’s there at the touch of a button."
