OverviewCustom steel and aluminum pergola systems designed to shelter and ventilate grills and BBQ islands for B2B customers (dealers, importers, outdoor-living retailers). Systems integrate louvered roofs that vent smoke above the grill line and close to protect from light rain; supplied knock-down for export with labeled hardware kits and installation documentation.
Key Product Points- Factory-supplied systems with product development, manufacturing and export support for B2B programs.
- Operable louvers: open above grill level to vent smoke, close to shed rain.
- Non-combustible frame options: ZAM-coated steel or corrosion-resistant aluminum.
- Compact and configurable footprints for freestanding grills or built-in BBQ islands.
- Export-grade KD packing, labeled kits and installation drawings for fast dealer installation.
Custom Options- Structure: freestanding compact frames or wider spans for built-in islands.
- Material: ZAM-coated steel or aluminum chosen by span, budget and environment.
- Roof: louvered or motorized louvered roofs with 0–100° rotation for smoke and airflow control.
- Side enclosure: zip screens or fixed panels to stabilise windward sides while keeping guest-facing sides open.
- Lighting: integrated task LED over the grill and ambient LED for seating, wiring concealed inside the frame.
- Finish: wipeable powder-coating with custom RAL or project finishes available.
Buyer Pain Points Addressed- Smoke control: louvers vent smoke above the cook line to improve comfort and visibility.
- Fire safety: non-combustible frames and planned clearances to meet grill manufacturer requirements.
- Cleaning & grease: powder-coated, wipeable surfaces near the cooking area.
- Weather protection: louvered roofs close to keep grills dry in light rain; integrated drainage routes water through posts.
- Cost and logistics: compact standard sizes and KD export packing for dealer programs.
