Self-supporting pergola

aluminumsteelWPC

Overview
Most pergolas have an open lattice that lets rain through. This product is a custom pergola with an adjustable louvered roof that opens for sunlight, tilts for shade and closes to create a rain-shedding surface. The closed roof channels water into an integrated gutter and down through the posts. Units are configured per order with manual or motorized operation and a range of side and enclosure options.

Main Features

• Adjustable louvered roof: opens, tilts and closes to control sun, ventilation and weather.
• Rain-shedding roof: louver blades overlap when closed; water is routed to an integrated gutter and downpipe system.
• Built-in gutter drainage that routes water through posts to a planned drainage direction.
• Manual or motorized operation available (same platforms support both).
• Accessory and enclosure options: zip screens, sliding or folding glass doors, sliding shutters, adjustable louver walls, fixed slat walls, WPC panels and LED-integrated louvers.
• Custom configuration: sizes, roof operation, finish, drainage direction and side packages are confirmed per order to suit the specific installation and climate.

Materials & Options

• Steel frame option: ZAM-coated steel for durability and cost-effective projects; volume-order friendly.
• Aluminum frame option: lighter profiles, coastal-grade finishes, concealed motorized drives, integrated LED lighting and premium glazing or screen enclosures.
• Lighting options: integrated LED louvers with white, warm-white or RGB effects.

Applications

• Residential: garden, backyard, patio, deck, front porch.
• Outdoor living: poolside shade, outdoor kitchens, grill stations.
• Commercial / Hospitality: hotels, restaurants, villas, landscape and public projects where weather protection and usable outdoor rooms are needed.

Why this roof matters

• Weather protection: closes to keep rain off furniture and people; drainage is part of the roof design.
• Sun & ventilation control: open for full sky, angled for shade, vent heat instead of trapping it.
• Adaptable outdoor room: once the roof handles weather, side packages (glass, screens, walls, lighting) make evenings and sides usable too.

Technical specifications
