Sliding Roof Pergolas

Most louvred pergolas allow you to rotate the blades to control light and shade. A retractable roof pergola goes one step further—the louvres slide back completely, giving you a fully open sky above. When you need shelter, close the roof in seconds. When the weather is perfect, open it all the way.

This is the ideal choice if you want maximum flexibility from your outdoor space throughout the year.

How Is a Retractable Roof Different From a Standard Louvred Pergola?

A standard louvred pergola has blades that rotate—you angle them to control light and rain, but the roof is always present above you. A retractable roof pergola goes further, with blades that slide back completely into one end of the frame, leaving nothing overhead but open sky.

It gives you full shelter when needed and completely open air when conditions are right.

Is a Retractable Pergola Roof Fully Watertight When Closed?

Yes. When closed, the blades form a watertight seal across the roof. Integrated drainage channels collect rainwater and direct it through the frame and out via the posts, keeping the area below dry.

The sliding system is motorised on all models in this range, so you can close the roof instantly at the press of a button.

What Sizes and Configurations Are Available?

Retractable roof pergolas are available in a range of standard sizes and can be configured as freestanding or wall-mounted structures. Some systems can also be linked together to create larger covered areas, with custom sizing available on selected models.

If you have a specific space in mind, call us with your dimensions and we’ll confirm what’s possible.

Is a Retractable Roof Pergola Worth the Extra Cost?

If having completely open sky above you matters—for stargazing, entertaining, or enjoying warm evenings—then the sliding roof is often worth the premium over a standard louvred system. Call us on 0203 098 6998 and we’ll help you decide which option best suits how you’ll use the space.
