An aluminium pergola instantly upgrades your garden by creating a comfortable, stylish area to relax or entertain guests. The sleek design adds a contemporary touch to any outdoor setting, while the durable aluminium construction ensures it can stand up to all weather conditions.

A pergola is a beautiful outdoor structure that consists of vertical posts supporting an open roof of beams or louvres. Traditionally used to provide partial shade, modern pergolas can now be fitted with advanced features to enhance outdoor living. Whether freestanding or attached to your home, a pergola can transform your garden, patio, or deck into a stylish and functional outdoor space.

With motorised roof louvres, you have full control over the amount of light and airflow in your pergola. Want to enjoy the sunshine? Simply adjust the louvres to let in more light. Need some shade or protection from rain? Close the louvres with the touch of a button. It’s an effortless way to adapt your outdoor space to changing weather.

Enhance Your Outdoor Living Space

For extra comfort and versatility, motorised zip screens are the perfect addition. These screens provide privacy and shield you from wind, rain, and insects, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor area no matter the conditions. Plus, their seamless operation adds a luxurious, high-tech feel to your pergola.

Barbacoa's FAQ's

Have a Question? We are here to help

What is a Pergola?

An aluminium pergola with motorised roof louvres and integrated lighting is the ultimate outdoor luxury. Unlike traditional pergolas, these modern structures offer complete control over your outdoor environment. With the touch of a button, you can adjust the roof louvres to let in just the right amount of sunlight or close them entirely for full shade or rain protection. Built-in LED lighting means you can enjoy your pergola well into the evening, creating a perfect ambiance for dining, relaxing, or entertaining. Sleek, durable, and weather-resistant, an aluminium pergola adds sophistication and versatility to your garden, transforming it into a stylish, all-weather haven.

Do I need Planning Permission to install a Pergola?

In most cases, pergolas don’t require planning permission, especially if they meet certain height and size guidelines. However, if you’re planning to build a larger structure or place it in a specific location (such as near a boundary or in a conservation area), it’s worth checking with your local council. At Barbacoa, we’ll help you navigate any regulations to make the installation process as seamless as possible.

What are the benefits of having a Pergola?

A pergola transforms your outdoor space into a retreat. It provides a designated area for relaxation and dining, offering partial shade while still allowing light to filter through. A pergola can serve as the perfect frame for outdoor furniture, string lights, or climbing plants, making your garden a welcoming space for friends and family. Plus, it adds a sense of architectural style and can even increase your property’s curb appeal.

Can a Pergola protect me from the weather?

Absolutely! With modern aluminium pergolas, you’re not just limited to an open roof. Many come equipped with motorised louvres that allow you to control the amount of sunlight or rain protection. For added comfort, motorised zip screens can be installed along the sides to block wind, insects, or harsh sun, turning your pergola into a sheltered oasis. You can even add sliding glass doors, which create a fully enclosed space when needed, offering the perfect balance between outdoor freedom and indoor comfort. With these advanced features, your pergola becomes a versatile, weather-resistant retreat that you can enjoy in all seasons.

How does a Pergola affect my garden design?

A pergola can completely transform the look and feel of your garden. It creates a focal point that draws the eye and enhances the overall aesthetic of your outdoor space. Whether you choose a minimalist modern design or something more traditional, a pergola adds structure and personality to your garden. With options for customisation in materials, colours, and features, you can create a pergola that perfectly complements your home and garden design.

What kind of maintenance does a Pergola require?

Pergolas are designed to be low-maintenance, especially when made from high-quality materials like treated wood, aluminium, or vinyl. Regular cleaning and an occasional check-up on any moving parts (like adjustable louvers) will help keep your pergola in top shape. Wooden pergolas may need re-sealing or painting every few years, while metal or vinyl pergolas are often more resistant to the elements. At Barbacoa, we use durable, weather-resistant materials, so your pergola stays looking beautiful with minimal effort.
