Fixed pergolas
A fixed slatted roof keeps its blade position. Choose the slat direction around the part of the terrace you use and the daylight you want to keep.
Stay for another coffee.
A place for the table, with the garden still around it.
Where it fits
For outdoor tables, garden seating and routes between the house and garden. A fixed slatted pergola suits a brief that does not need the roof blades to open or close.
Slat direction and spacing
Mark north and the times you use the space on the plan. Compare the proposed slat direction and gaps with the sun path and the view from inside the house.
Posts around the furniture
Show tables, chairs and walking routes before choosing post positions. For a pergola beside a building, include the wall condition and any doors or windows below the roof edge.
Open slats or a weather roof
Open slats leave gaps above the terrace. If you need rain protection, include that requirement in the brief so the roof covering, slope, drainage and supports can be reviewed separately.
What to send for this option
- Plan dimensions, north direction and hours of use
- Desired slat pattern and finish reference
- Furniture, access routes, post bases and any wall connection
- Whether the brief is for shade alone or also a weather roof
The slatted illustration does not establish rain protection or a load rating. Roof construction, fixed connections and any drainage details require project confirmation.
