All our models are customizable to perfectly suit your outdoor space.

The sun's rays aren't directly on your skin, making evenings outdoors more pleasant even in warm weather. On some pergolas, you can even add climbing plants to create a romantic and idyllic setting for sharing special moments with friends and family during the warmer months! The pergolas offered by AKENA cater to a variety of uses and feature numerous amenities to regulate light and heat on your patio. Building a pergola is therefore just as worthwhile as other structures like gazebos and awnings, because even though it represents a slightly larger initial investment, it is much more resistant to wind and rain and will last for many years on your patio.

The dimensions of a gazebo remain limited, while most pergolas tend to cover a relatively large area, such as a terrace, patio, or landscaped garden. In fact, gazebos are usually installed for the summer and taken down for the winter. Pergolas, on the other hand, remain erected year-round. Gazebos are easier to install and less expensive than pergolas, making them a good option for homeowners on a budget. And if you want to learn more about the differences between a gazebo and a pergola, we invite you to consult our dedicated article.

A pergola is an open structure, freestanding or attached to the house, often used to create shaded areas in the garden. It is ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation, while allowing for natural air circulation. In contrast, a veranda is an enclosed extension of the house, featuring glass walls and a roof, thus offering complete protection from the elements while maximizing natural light.

In addition to enhancing your home's value, a pergola offers protection from the elements, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space in every season. Furthermore, it can be equipped with numerous accessories such as LED lighting, side awnings, or auxiliary heaters for optimal comfort. With a custom-made pergola, you transform your patio into a true haven of relaxation and conviviality.

A pergola is the term that encompasses all structures: bioclimatic pergolas, pergolas with retractable roofs, pergolas with flat roofs, pergolas with fixed roofs, etc., that provide varying degrees of sun protection for a space on your patio or in your garden.

Choose a sunny spot that is also sheltered from prevailing winds. A location close to the house, such as a terrace, facilitates access and allows you to extend your indoor living space to the outside. For a more secluded project, opt for a corner of the garden offering a beautiful view and a little privacy. Our AKENA experts are at your service to advise you and optimize the location of your future pergola.

Here are the standard surface areas for a pergola:

Don't forget to consider the dimensions of the furniture and the surrounding landscaping for a harmonious integration.

Aluminum requires little maintenance, making it a very practical material. It also offers an endless array of lacquered colors (white, gray, anthracite gray, black, etc.) that last over time. At AKENA, several pergola models are available, allowing us to adapt to all configurations.

Next, you need to consider the size and placement of the post supports. You'll also need to decide on the material for your pergola (wood, aluminum), the type of roof (glass, polycarbonate, sandwich panels, adjustable louvers), and then choose the color (white, gray, anthracite gray, black, etc.), the finishes, and the desired options (blinds, privacy screens, decorative panels, etc.) from those available. At AKENA, you have plenty of choices! But aluminum is the most popular material. Aluminum pergolas, bioclimatic pergolas, pergolas with fixed roofs, pergolas with retractable roofs... many possibilities are available. Once these steps are completed, you can enjoy your pergola!

Wood, wrought iron, aluminum, PVC, and galvanized steel are all popular choices. If you're looking for something more durable and weather-resistant, opt for an aluminum structure like those offered by AKENA. The various pergola roofing options (polycarbonate, adjustable louvers, sandwich panels, etc.) provide protection against the elements, such as rain and the sun's UV rays. They can be equipped with numerous features on both the roof and the front (blinds, decorative screens, sliding glass panels, etc.) to control the amount of light and provide protection from rain and wind. LED lighting is also available as an option. There are therefore many solutions for building a pergola and adding a touch of charm to your garden.

An attached pergola, fixed directly to the house's facade, is ideal for creating a natural extension of your indoor space to the outdoors, offering easy access and added protection from the elements. In contrast, a freestanding pergola, independent of the house, can be installed anywhere in the garden, creating a unique and flexible relaxation or entertaining area. At AKENA, we'll help you determine the best solution for your specific needs.

You'll find a variety of models, from classic to contemporary, all customizable to your liking. Our pergolas are designed to blend seamlessly into your outdoor space, whether it's a patio, garden, or even a balcony. The AKENA catalog allows you to view the different options and choose the pergola that best suits your needs and lifestyle.

First, determine the ideal location based on the orientation of your house and garden. Then, define your needs in terms of sun protection, wind resistance, and thermal comfort. AKENA offers a diverse range of pergolas to suit all configurations and lifestyles. Don't hesitate to consult our experts for personalized advice and tailored support.

Start by adding comfortable furniture such as outdoor sofas or rattan armchairs, complete with plush cushions. Add a coffee table to create a perfect relaxation area for drinks and snacks. Consider lighting with string lights or solar lamps for a soft ambiance in the evening. Finally, why not incorporate climbing plants or planters to bring a touch of greenery and freshness?

You can add integrated LED lighting to create a warm atmosphere for your evenings outdoors. Side blinds, privacy screens, or sliding glass panels can also be installed to protect you from the wind and prying eyes. Finally, opt for portable heaters to enjoy your pergola even on cooler evenings. At AKENA, we help you choose the best options to enhance your outdoor space.
