Pergolas by Abacus
What are Pergolas?
Our Pergola Awning is an elegant, stable folding roof system offering flexible, all-weather protection for your patio. Enjoy the ‘cabriolet feeling‘ by retracting the waterproof fabric roof at the touch of a button to let the sun shine in.
If you’re looking to extend your outdoor living space, our high-quality pergola awnings are the ideal solution. Designed for all weather conditions, they offer reliable protection against sun, rain, and wind (up to strength 6 Beaufort). At the push of a button, you can retract the fabric roof to enjoy a beautiful sunny day, or quickly close it if the weather turns, keeping your patio dry and comfortable. We offer a choice of over 200 frame colours and two exclusive fabric collections, allowing you to create a perfectly designed new outdoor living space.
