The functionality on all of our pergolas is the same. The clever part is the inbuilt gutter system throughout the pergola which catches the rain and drains the water away internally through the legs, and out of small holes at the bottom side of each leg.

The roof can be louvered opened and closed to keep the rain out, or let the sunlight in.

The Rota Pergola:
Our taller model at 250cm when the roof is closed, the Rota roof vents run parallel to the shorter side and open vertical when the roof is open fully. The Rota works on one roof system on the 4 leg models, alternatively the 6 leg models have a dual venting system, meaning you can operate the roof to be half open and the other half closed. There are 9 sizes of Rota available.

Deluxe screens, side panels (31cm each) and side vents (93cm each) can be added to 3 sides of the Rota (2x shorter sides and 1x full longer side), a screen cannot be added to one of the longer sides due to where the roof turning mechanism is located. This in turn makes the Rota the better model for going against the back of the house as it is taller and can sit flush, which enables clearance of large doors such as bifold or step up doors, this would also mean that the side where the roof turning mechanism is, is placed on the house side to allow for screens on both ends and one front.

The Luxe Pergola:
Our most recently released model, similar to the Rota in the way that it works and it’s size however the legs are squared for aesthetics on the edges as apposed to all other model which have rounded legs. The Luxe roof system and louvers have also been further developed to make them as premium as possible with manual, electric louver and electric retractable functions. The Luxe can house deluxe screens, side vents and solid panels on all 4 sides (unlike the Rota).
The most technical update that we have made on the Luxe Pergola is that it can be infinitely extended lengthways and with custom L-shape configurations.

The Maranza Pergola:
Our slightly shorter model at 230cm tall when the roof is closed, the roof vents run parallel to the longer side and has multiple roof venting systems on all sizes ranging from 2 roof sections on all 4 leg models, 3 roof sections on the 5.4m model and 4 roof sections on the 7.2m model.

Deluxe screens can be added to all 4 sides of the Maranza, this is because the roof turning mechanism is located on the central roof beams (which the Rota does not have). The Maranza also provides the option of slatted fixed side panels (that fill a complete section between 1 set of legs) and which look similar to the roof however they are fixed in place and cannot be opened and closed.

To Note:
Our pergolas do not require planning permission as they are below any height restrictions and are not classed as a permanent fixture. Floor plans for all models can also be found on each product page and any side options can be retro fitted at a later date if necessary.

These models are weatherproof in standard British weathers. Rainwater runs from the roof louvres, into the guttering and then drains down internally, through the legs. During extreme weather conditions and severely heavy rain there may be a slight leakage as excessive water cannot flow through the drainage quick enough and can spill over, just like guttering on a home or an external drain.

The sun screens are for use throughout the summer and should not be used in any more than a light breeze. They are built in to spring loaded cassettes attached at the top and bottom of the cassette with 5 stop points along the runners. They are not built in to the sides of the frames which allows them to blow out in any more than a light breeze.

The deluxe screens are built in to the cassette on all 4 sides of the fabric which makes them much more durable to wind and can be used all year round. The sides are built in with zippers to allow them to be used in moderate wind and rain. These screens are also weighted rather than spring loaded which allows them to sit at any level rather than only at certain points.

Both screens are produced from aluminium and textilene with the deluxe screens being produced from a higher quality of textilene as well as a much improved design.

We advise all screens to be retracted when you are not using the area incase of high winds.

To note: Should the deluxe screens be accidentally left down in the wind and zip become disconnected our service team have videos on hand to assist you with refitting.
