Pergolas & louvered outdoor living
A louvered pergola turns a bare deck or patio into a year-round outdoor room you actually use. These guides cover choosing the right model, how a pergola compares to a verandah, enclosing the space with walls and screens, and adding lighting and heating so it works later into the night and further into the cooler months.
Guides in this collection
How adjustable roofs work, sizing to your space, and choosing between Series 3, 4, Pro and Pro Max.
Open pergola, louvered-roof pergola or solid verandah — which suits your backyard and climate.
Glass walls, zip screens and slat walls to make an outdoor room usable in more weather.
LED lighting, lanterns and beam heaters to use the space later into the night and the cooler months.
