Deluxe Pod Pergola
£15,300.00
A heavy-duty louvred pergola designed for larger outdoor spaces and flexible layouts.
Some gardens and terraces need more than a standard pergola footprint. Larger patios, outdoor dining areas, and combined seating zones require wider spans and greater structural flexibility.
The Deluxe Pod is built to meet those requirements, offering the largest opening-roof system in the range without moving to a retractable roof design.
Opening Louvred Roof
The Deluxe Pod uses a motorised aluminium louvred roof with rotating blades that interlock when closed to form a watertight covering.
The louvres rotate up to 150°, allowing precise control over sunlight, airflow, and ventilation while maintaining protection from the elements.
Heavy-Duty Aluminium Structure
The Deluxe Pod is built around a reinforced aluminium framework designed to support wider spans and larger roof areas.
This makes it suitable for expansive seating areas, outdoor dining spaces, and layouts where fewer posts and clearer open zones are required.
Large Sizes and Linkable Layouts
The Deluxe Pod can be specified in set sizes or configured within defined structural limits to suit larger outdoor areas.
Individual modules can span up to 7.0m in length and 4.5m in width, and multiple units can be linked together to cover extensive spaces.
We can advise on suitable sizes, layouts, and column positions before quoting.
Windproof Side Screens
Optional screens reduce wind and low sun while maintaining airflow.
Integrated LED Lighting
Integrated lighting extends comfortable use into the evening.
Infrared Heating
Directional heaters provide warmth without heating the surrounding air.
Additional Screens
Multiple screens can be added depending on exposure and layout.
Concealed Base Plates
Unlike other suppliers, you get a completely flush base plate with completely hidden fixings.
Electrical Provision
Optional preparation for lighting, heating, or power within the structure.
