Are these pergolas waterproof?
They are rain-resistant rather than fully waterproof. The powder-coated galvanised roof tilts or fully closes to shelter you from light to moderate rain, and closed louvres channel water through an integrated drainage system down through the legs. In heavy or prolonged rain a small amount may enter through the joins — normal for louvred systems, which are built for ventilation and durability rather than complete watertightness.
What is the split roof?
The manual louvred roof is split into two independently controlled sides. Open one side for sunlight while keeping the other closed for shade or ventilation — letting you adapt the space through the day.
How does the 4x3m differ from the 3x3m?
Footprint only. The 4 x 3m gives generous coverage for dining and larger seating areas, while the 3 x 3m suits patios and smaller gardens. Both share the same aluminium frame, galvanised split louvred roof, and button-controlled solar lighting. Both are in our Garden Shade & Shelter collection.
Is assembly required?
Yes — this pergola requires assembly. Privacy screens are not included as standard but are available as selectable variants (0 to 4 screens).
