Remanso vented side panels are fixed decorative panels that attach between the legs of your pergola. They provide privacy, shade, and visual appeal without moving parts.
Unlike the rotating roof louvres, these panels stay in a fixed position once installed.
Key Features You Get
Fixed Static Design
The panels don't move or rotate. They're permanently positioned to provide consistent privacy and shade in the areas where they're installed.
Vented Construction
The panels include ventilation gaps that allow air to flow through while still providing privacy screening. This prevents the enclosed feeling of solid panels.
Privacy and Shade
The panels block sight lines from neighbours while creating shaded areas within your pergola space. You get visual screening without completely closing off the area.
Size Options Available
The panels come in different widths to match your pergola size:
For 2.5m Pergola Sides
1.15m wide panels (2 panels per side)
Total coverage with small gaps between panels
For 3m Pergola Sides
1.3m wide panels (2 panels per side)
Proportioned for standard pergola spacing
For 4m Pergola Sides
1.2m wide panels (3 panels per side)
Multiple panels provide full side coverage
