What is a pergola?
Pergola is an extended roof as traditionally they are built 
along one side of the house, either freestanding or attached, 
over a deck or patio. Integrating a pergola in your backyard 
or outdoor space creates an architectural statement for 
space. It is not only a visual masterpiece of your house, but 
it can also provide the perfect ambiance for your family get-
togethers and outdoor parties. 
The design possibilities of pergolas are unlimited. It can 
create a medieval feel with dramatic stone pillars and hefty 
wooden crossbeam. On the other hand, modern pergolas 
incorporate a wide range of materials and styles to blend 
with your home seamlessly. In every way, pergolas are 
classic, simple yet versatile.

What do you need? Shade or shelter or both..??
Pergolas are designed to filter light rather than blocking it out 
completely. So whether your pergola is made up of traditional wood, 
sleek aluminum, sophisticated concrete, or modern steel, it must have 
an open roof structure creating patterns of sun-stippled light across 
your patio or walkway. Adding a well-suited pergola cover will enhance 
its light-filtering effect and provide protection from the rain. 
Climbing Plant Cover
For a very long time, pergolas have been used to support creepers and 
climbers, and vines in the garden. So if you want a living pergola cover 
that is lush, vibrant and changes with the season, then natural plant 
covers are the best options. The pergola’s overall size will help decide 
on the plant type and quantity that grows densely or have large leaves 
to provide complete coverage. Local nurseries can guide you to find the 
best-suited vines for your living pergola cover.

Custom Fabric Banding
You can use rows of outdoor fabrics to create interlaced pergola covers. 
This looks very elegant and relatively inexpensive to cover the pergola. 
There are several options for customizing a banded fabric cover with 
various patterns and colors, and weave density. For an ultimate rustic 
look, you can lay parallel lengths of fabric across the top of the pergola 
and drape them between the rafters like undulating waves. Then weave 
the fabric ribbons in and out, pulling them taut in a chic pattern from 
one beam to another. 
Full Fabric Canopy
These are the easiest and functional options to cover the pergola. It 
uses an entire piece of outdoor fabric to provide seamless shade and 
semi-protection from rain. You can decide on how to cover the pergola 
according to your choice. Some people choose to position the fabric 
canopy as a full cover, and some prefer to stretch from one beam to 
another. Also, you can position it at an askew angle or stretch a shade 
sail canopy below the rafters for a modern summertime feel.

Retractable Fabric Canopy
Retractable fabric pergola covers are simple canopies installed over guide 
wires tracks and use a central beam to operate them. These canopies can 
be mounted to most types of frames, including wood. With just a push-
button, this can provide full shade and protection whenever you want. You 
can enjoy plenty of sunshine and fresh air any moment you want. A wide 
range of colors, patterns and weaves to compliment your outdoor 
furnishings and décor. 
Solid Fixed Panels
Custom light filtering panels can be a bit costly than other pergola cover 
options. But these are the best solutions if you are looking for a cover that 
doesn’t need to be stored through the winter or needs to be replaced after 
a few seasons. Many people prefer to use wood, tin, steel, and aluminum 
planks or panels to cover their pergola. They look beautiful too, but they 
are more partial for light-filtering and don’t provide proper shade. However, 
if sunlight doesn’t bother you and you only want to stay dry, then 
polycarbonate panels can help you get that job done.
