Pergola Awnings are known for withstanding the elements well and are often also used to shelter outdoor areas at cafes or to cover patios. Not to mention, pleated patio shades add a touch of style to your outdoor area, thanks to the design & patterned shadows created. Different materials are used to manufacture these type of awnings depending on the client’s needs. This awning is suspended on trolleys which run in tracks attached underneath the beams of your pergola. Alternatively it can also be suspended on stainless steel cables between walls. When retracted it folds away neatly at the back of your structure. Please note that this awning’s primary function is to provide shade. It must NOT be used in rainy conditions, irrespective of fabric selection, as water will pool on the fabric panels.
