How to close a pergola?

There are a multitude of solutions for covering part of a property's outdoor space. A pergola is a good compromise between a conservatory, which is totally enclosed, and an awning, which is removable. If you're deciding between a conservatory and a pergola, you may be wondering whether you can close the latter. It's always possible to change your mind! Here's how to enclose your future pergola.

The dream of building a pergola that can be converted into a conservatory in the future? Well, it's not that far-fetched! By opting for an upgradeable pergola, you open the door to several alternatives. You can enclose it completely by installing bay windows. And, if it's big enough, you can convert just part of it into a conservatory, while keeping the area open.

This solution exists for bioclimatic and classic pergolas. Most often made of aluminium, evolutionary pergolas are modern. They offer a wide choice of equipment and excellent insulation. Your pergola becomes a real living space! Perfectly weather-resistant, aluminium is the material of choice for your outdoor installations. What's more, it can be adapted to any design and requires very little maintenance.

Motorised vertical blinds are an option that can be added at a later date. They provide protection from the sun and wind, while giving the area greater privacy. Vertical awnings can be fitted to both bioclimatic and traditional pergolas.

Whether your new space is attached to your house or freestanding, the awning is invisible when rolled up. You can opt for a side awning that completely conceals the light or lets it through.
