A compact louvred pergola designed to provide dependable shade, shelter, and everyday comfort in smaller garden spaces.
Outdoor spaces often go unused simply because they don’t adapt well to changing weather. Too much sun, a sudden shower, or a cool breeze can quickly send everyone back inside.
The Classic Lite Pod is designed to remove that uncertainty. It gives you practical control over light, airflow, and shelter without the scale of larger pergola systems.
Adjustable Louvred Roof
The Classic Lite Pod uses a motorised aluminium louvred roof that rotates to control sunlight, ventilation, and rain cover.
The louvres rotate up to 150°, allowing you to enjoy airflow and daylight or close them fully for weather protection when conditions change.


Compact Aluminium Construction
The frame is manufactured from powder-coated aluminium, offering strength, stability, and resistance to weather exposure.
The lighter structural platform makes the Classic Lite Pod well suited to patios, terraces, and smaller gardens.
Defined Sizes for Simpler Planning
The Classic Lite Pod is supplied within a fixed size range, making it a straightforward option for standard garden layouts.
Its defined dimensions help keep installation simple while still offering flexibility for freestanding or wall-mounted setups.
If your space requires larger spans or bespoke sizing, we can advise on alternative pergola models.

Windproof Side Screens
Optional side screens are mounted beneath the cross beams and lower within guided channels to provide protection from wind and low sun.
Integrated LED Lighting
Discreet lighting allows comfortable use after daylight fades.
Infra-Red Heating
Direct warmth helps extend use into cooler evenings.
Made To Measure Sizes
Get the size you want for your outdoor space. Since everything is bespoke and made for you, we can give exactly what you want with these pergolas.

Easy Operation
A reliable, built-in radio-controlled motor drives the roof system, allowing smooth operation via remote control or app.
Streamlined Design
Clean lines are maintained throughout the structure, with internal steel supports and concealed fixings providing secure installation without visible hardware.
