It almost always starts with the same WhatsApp message: "I saw one of your electric pergolas with rotating louvres – what is it called?". And we used to answer honestly: "That is the 1600 ROLL R173". On the other end – silence. Who remembers a code like that? Who tells their partner about it over dinner, or asks ChatGPT about it?
At that moment we realised the problem was not the pergola – the pergola is excellent. The problem was the name. So we decided to give each system a name people would remember, understand and love. That is how the gemstone collection was born – the five models of the SKYTEKS electric pergola at Smart Pergola.
In short: Smart Pergola offers five electric pergolas from the SKYTEKS series, each named after a gemstone. Pearl and Sapphire – bioclimatic pergolas with aluminium louvres that rotate up to 120°. Emerald – louvres that rotate and stack to one side, opening the roof to the sky. Diamond – a fixed, transparent glass roof. Royal – spans of up to 6×6 m on just four posts.
Why gemstones?
You choose a gemstone once and keep it for years – and you choose it for its character, not its weight. That is exactly how we want you to choose an electric pergola: by the way you want to live outdoors – in shade, in light, under the open sky or beneath glass. Every gem has its own colour, character and feel, so each name tells you straight away what you are getting.
Five gems, five ways to enjoy the outdoors
SKYTEKS Pearl – quiet elegance
A pearl does not shout – it is simply beautiful. SKYTEKS Pearl (the 1400 ROLL R173 system, new to the collection) is a bioclimatic pergola with slim aluminium louvres that rotate up to 120°. A frame just 20 cm high gives it a clean, delicate look, and it suits medium-sized terraces and yards in particular: up to 4×5 m (20 m²) with no middle post.
Ideal for: anyone who wants a high-quality electric pergola at a great price, without crowding the space.
SKYTEKS Sapphire – full control of the sun
Blue sapphire is the colour of a clear sky. SKYTEKS Sapphire (1600 ROLL R173) is Pearl's big sister: aluminium louvres that rotate up to 120° on a stronger frame, up to 4×6 m (24 m²) with no middle post. Rotate the louvres and get exactly the light and airflow you want – morning, noon and evening. Close them and you have a roof that protects you from sun and rain.
Ideal for: large yards and families who want full shade and precise control all day long.
SKYTEKS Emerald – a roof that opens to the sky
The green of emerald is the green of the garden. In SKYTEKS Emerald (1600 SLIDE S206) the louvres do not just rotate – they also stack to one side, so the roof opens almost completely. At the touch of a button you go from full shade to open sky, trees and stars. The louvres are insulated, so the shade feels more pleasant even in the hot summer.
Ideal for: anyone who loves sitting under the open sky in the evening and wants full shade at midday.
SKYTEKS Diamond – pure light all year round
A diamond is light. SKYTEKS Diamond is our glass pergola – a fixed laminated glass roof (Glass Roof) that lets daylight in even in winter and protects against rain and hail. It reaches up to 6×6 m (36 m²), and combined with winter enclosures it turns your terrace into an extra room.
Ideal for: anyone who wants a bright, dry seating area in every season.
SKYTEKS Royal – a large span with palatial presence
Royal is the crown of the collection. SKYTEKS Royal (MAX) allows spans of up to 6×6 m (36 m²) on just four posts, thanks to a middle support rail. It is available for the Sapphire and Emerald systems.
Ideal for: villas, restaurants, cafés and wide projects where every extra post gets in the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a bioclimatic pergola and a stacking pergola?
In a bioclimatic pergola (Pearl, Sapphire) the aluminium louvres rotate in place up to 120° to control light and airflow. In a stacking pergola (Emerald) the louvres rotate and also stack to one side, so the roof opens almost completely to the sky. All of them are operated electrically by remote control.
Which SKYTEKS electric pergola offers the best value?
For most medium-sized terraces and yards, SKYTEKS Pearl offers the best balance of price and performance. For larger areas, consider Sapphire or Royal.
Is an electric pergola suitable for winter and rain?
Yes. The pergola itself does not leak – a leak can only occur at the seam between the pergola and the wall it is mounted on, which is why professional installation matters. Add winter enclosures – guillotine windows, sliding windows or ZIP screens – and you can enjoy your terrace all year round.
Do you need a building permit for an electric pergola?
It depends on your local authority and on the pergola exemption rules (the "Pergola Law"). We recommend checking with the local authority before installation.
How much does an electric pergola cost?
The price depends on the system, the size and the extras. You get the exact price in our pricing calculator.
