Picture yourself hosting an impromptu garden gathering when those familiar British clouds start gathering overhead. Instead of rushing to move everything indoors, you simply turn the crank handle on your Nova Shadow Pergola. Within seconds, you've transformed your open-air space into a sheltered outdoor room.
The Nova Shadow 3m Square Pergola delivers intelligent weather protection that adapts to changing conditions at a moment's notice.
The tilting louvre system puts complete climate control at your fingertips. Turn the integrated crank handle to position the roof slats exactly where you need them. Want gentle filtered light for afternoon tea? Partially open the louvres. Need complete shelter from unexpected showers? Close them fully for immediate protection.
This isn't just a roof - it's a responsive outdoor climate system that works with British weather rather than against it.
Rain doesn't disrupt your outdoor plans anymore. The Nova Shadow features ingenious built-in drainage that channels water away without you ever seeing it. Rainwater flows through hidden U-shaped channels built into the framework, then travels down through the hollow pergola legs to ground level.
Even when you open wet louvres, the clever channel design prevents dripping underneath your sheltered area. Your furniture stays dry, your gatherings continue uninterrupted.
Your pergola begins with robust galvanised steel that's engineered to withstand whatever British weather delivers. This material choice provides exceptional strength whilst the galvanisation process creates a protective barrier that prevents rust and corrosion for years.
The sophisticated Graphite Grey finish (RAL 7015) doesn't just look stunning - it's specifically treated for UV protection. This means your pergola maintains its rich colour through summer sun exposure, avoiding the fading that affects lesser outdoor structures.
Unlike lightweight alternatives that struggle in moderate breezes, the Nova Shadow's steel construction provides stability in challenging conditions. The solid framework and secure ground anchor system ensure your pergola remains steadfast through typical British weather variations.
The 3m x 3m square configuration provides nine square metres of covered outdoor space - generous enough for family dining, intimate entertaining, or peaceful relaxation. The square proportions create natural harmony in garden settings whilst maximising usable space within the footprint.
This pergola works beautifully in various garden contexts. In smaller spaces, it becomes your primary outdoor living area. In larger gardens, it creates a defined zone for specific activities - perhaps a morning coffee corner or an evening dining space separate from your main entertaining area.
The clean lines and sophisticated Graphite Grey finish complement both contemporary and traditional architectural styles. Your pergola enhances your property's character rather than competing with existing features.
Your Nova Shadow arrives with all components precisely engineered for logical assembly. Two to three people can complete installation in approximately two hours using basic tools and the comprehensive instruction guide.
The pergola requires installation on solid, level ground such as concrete paving or a prepared concrete base. Each leg features pre-drilled mounting plates for secure attachment using the supplied expansion bolts. Proper foundation preparation ensures decades of safe, stable use.
Position your pergola on a surface with gentle drainage slope (most patios naturally have this). This positioning allows the internal drainage system to function effectively, channeling water away from your outdoor living area.

Your pergola handles typical British weather conditions with confidence. The louvre system provides flexible weather protection whilst the drainage channels manage rainfall effectively. Perfect for gardens where weather can change quickly.
Galvanised steel construction eliminates the seasonal maintenance demands of timber alternatives. No annual treatments, no rot concerns, no replacement parts needed. Your pergola simply performs year after year.
Most residential installations require no planning permission, making this an accessible garden enhancement. However, we always recommend checking with your local planning office if you have any concerns about restrictions in your area.
