A louvred pergola configured specifically for outdoor kitchens and cooking areas.
Outdoor kitchens place different demands on a pergola than seating or dining areas. Heat, smoke, ventilation, and column placement all need to be considered.
The Grillo Pergola is built around these requirements, using the Deluxe Pod structure but configured specifically for outdoor cooking environments.
Opening Louvred Roof for Ventilation
The Grillo Pergola 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 heat, smoke, and steam to escape while maintaining shelter when required.


Deluxe Pod Structural Platform
The Grillo Pergola is built using the same heavy-duty aluminium framework as the Deluxe Pod.
This allows wider spans and clear working areas beneath the roof, which are important when planning built-in outdoor kitchens.
Kitchen-Led Sizes and Layouts
The Grillo Pergola is supplied within defined structural limits, based on the Deluxe Pod platform.
Layouts are planned around cooking equipment, preparation areas, and appliance clearances rather than seating arrangements.
We can advise on suitable sizes and column positions before quoting.


Windproof Side Screens
Reduce wind while keeping airflow moving around cooking areas.

Integrated LED Lighting
Improves visibility for food preparation and evening use.

Infra-Red Heating
Provides warmth without interfering with ventilation.

Additional Side Screens
Extra screens can be added to multiple sides depending on layout and exposure.

Fixed Infill Panels
Optional solid panels provide added shelter behind kitchens or preparation areas.

Electrical Provision
Optional electrical preparation for lighting, heating, or outdoor kitchen appliances.
