You’ve had the foresight to install a pergola, creating a very pleasant extra space outside, but have you thought about how you can maximise its uses so that it becomes available to you all year round? It’s very fashionable to have that added outdoor area to enjoy al fresco dining, sitting amongst the stars and enjoying sunshine dappled afternoons but making sure that you have enveloped all its potential is something that we at Designer Shade Solutions will be able to help you with further. Here are our top 5 pergola roof ideas for the summer of 2023:
- A retractable and tilting roof louvre can transform your pergola area so that these innovative systems can change and adapt depending on the weather. They will change the environment depending on rain or shine to ensure you are kept waterproofed underneath on days when it is raining, or shade from the blazing sun when it’s beats down. Their adaptable nature dictates that they do the work, all you have to do is enjoy being outside.
- Adding a guillotine window will offer an all-year-round effect to the roof of your pergola which invites unobstructed views from your outdoor space while protecting you from the elements at the same time. The guillotine function is traditional, while being an innovative way of using it within this type of space and will transform how you use your space.
- Having a retractable roof system allows the best of both worlds with the lure of being outside and open to the elements when the weather invites you to do so but also, the ability to cosy away and wrap up as you sit protected underneath, still able to enjoy outdoor living.
- Adding a newer, fresher vibe to your pergola could be not just opting for a retractable roof but a retractable glass roof so that star gazing can be enjoyed from your vantage point underneath it. Innovation at its best is what we offer and with this solution we really think you will find that something special you’ve been looking for.
- Retractable roof systems can be enjoyed however big the space and perhaps something in fabric is more key to the type of outdoor living and entertaining you will enjoy. Lights and plants can be wound around the space will add to the ambience and curtail and vast areas which may seem too big to fill. The great outdoors is there to be enjoyed, we just have to decorate it and pander to the UK weather!
