Pergola With a Roof
The main benefit of a new backyard pergola is to unlock the livability in your home- to create an area that’s adaptable to the elements and offers year-round protection from the sun, wind and rain, wherever you are in the USA!
Deciding which pergola with a roof is best for your needs is key to maximizing your investment and adding the value to your home you’re imagining.
If you're considering something more enclosed and protective, a pergola kit can be the ideal solution for year-round comfort. Whether it's sheltering a dining area, spa zone, or cozy outdoor lounge
Types of Pergola Roof Designs
The level of protection and subsequent add-ons you decide for your pergola will ensure your investment is best for your deck, yard or patio. There are a few pergola roofing options to consider:
- Pergola with roof panels– a fixed roof offers strong and maximum protection from the elements. Used as a cover over an outdoor kitchen, play area or dining table will ensure the area is suitable for use in any season, and the furniture or entertainment/heating elements underneath are well protected. The downside is that no extra sunlight or ventilation will come through the roof on pleasant days.
- Pergola with retractable roof– a retractable or louvered pergola offers the same protection as a fixed roof, but with the option to open or retract the panels for sunlight exposure. These designs aren’t permanent like the fixed roof, and offer more flexibility. You can alter to suit the angle of the sun or wind, and adjust to whatever is happening with the unpredictable weather!
Boost Year-Round Functionality
The biggest advantage of a roofed pergola is protection from the weather. Pergolas are completely weather-proof and durable, designed to maintain their functionality and appearance with minimal maintenance across the years. A louvered roof pergola enables you to enjoy the relaxation and enjoyment of outdoor dining, while creating the perfect atmosphere to entertain. How does it feel to make plans without the need for ‘plan B’? Spending more time outside in Summer protected from heat and UV rays is a great way to reduce cooling costs indoors, and the smaller nature of roofed pergola areas mean they’re generally cheaper and easier to maintain the desired climate. You can use screens or solid retractable pergola roof to reduce glare, heat and resist harsh winds. In addition to zip screens or privacy blinds, roofed pergolas can feature heating elements such as infrared, propane gas (if you have the ventilation) or awning-fitting heaters. To compliment the cozy vibe, LED lighting can be installed to create intimacy and ambiance for entertaining on any scale. If utilizing a fixed-roof pergola design, electronics such as TV screens and speakers can be safely installed beneath the structure, completely protected from the wind and rain. You can also cover over BBQ or cooking areas for added protection.
