      Can you put a retractable awning on a pergola?

      By January 12, 2023 No Comments

      The answer to the question, “can you put a retractable awning on a pergola?” is, of course, a resounding yes! In fact, why wouldn’t you want to add something very special to an already much-loved space to make it somewhere exciting you can enjoy all year round?

      A pergola can be an extra room to your home within the garden. To restrict this space for fair weather days only, when you could instead make it works whatever the climate, would be short sighted. It’s not just there to provide shade from the sun, a retractable awning can be used as a shelter from the rain too and, frankly, in the UK this is always going to be a concern, even in the height of summer.

      Here at Designer Shade Solutions we are committed to helping you make the most of the products we can install and we are the first people you need to meet after you begin your search for a retractable pergola canopy within the UK. You always need to arm yourself with the experts when it comes to designing and making your safe, special place your perfect hideaway; anything less will leave you lacking. We pride ourselves in knowing that we are the absolute best in our field and we are here, ready to demonstrate how.

      So, now that you’ve made the decision to add a retractable awning to your pergola, you are going to find yourself spoiled for choice with the offerings of how we can help you achieve the look and feel you want.

      How can we help?

      • You could chose a retractable pergola canopy in the UK which would see you sat outside, shaded in the summer months but also sheltered when you need it.
      • There are many other options to add which will transform the humble pergola into a usable room in all elements. Al fresco dine all summer long then well into the darker evenings too.
      • Create a space to wholly enjoy all year round without feeling uncomfortable. There is also the very important point of keeping yourself warm and cosy which can be done using our outdoor heating solutions to suit all. Just because we often have inclement weather, it doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the great outdoors while cosied up at the same time.
      • You have to have the vision to want to do it – we can help with implementing all that you dream of for your outside space.
