A hanging pergola
A hanging pergola without columns is a special shading solution for uncovered balconies, street-front shops, restaurants and cafés.
The pergola provides full protection from sun and rain and stays stable in strong winds. Whether a building permit is needed depends on the local authority and the pergola exemption rules ("the Pergola Law") – we recommend checking with the local planning committee before installation. It makes things easier for businesses and is a flexible, high-quality replacement for any business awning.
A pergola without columns can be mounted on a wall on one side, supported by tension rods holding it from one side, or from two sides depending on the existing structure of the house.
The pergola is made of aluminum – a lightweight yet strong material that needs minimal maintenance, with no periodic painting.
