3 reasons to cover your terrace with an aluminum pergola with a sliding roof

In the previous article, we introduced you to the Eva pergola with a sliding roof. Now let's take a look at this system from a higher perspective. We will describe 3 main reasons why our customers choose this type of terrace roofing.

1. It does not block the interior

Sure, an aluminum pergola has a flair and its fantastic appearance catches the eye at first glance. The real wow effect occurs when you press the button on the remote and the roof starts to retract towards the house. At that moment, only the subtle structure remains on the terrace, and the roofing no longer blocks the sun or the light from reaching the terrace.


Why have a roofed terrace when you are sitting inside? The complete retraction of the roof is useful, for example, in gloomy weather or during winter. While a pergola with polycarbonate or glass holds snow and creates unpleasant darkness, with this roofing system, you don’t even notice it's there.

2. Absolutely minimal maintenance of the aluminum structure and roof

It might be better to say no maintenance at all. The structure is made of aluminum, which is stable, strong, and won't rust or fade. It requires absolutely no maintenance.


The roof is made of durable PVC. For your reference, it is similar to the material used in trucks. The material is very strong, and thanks to aluminum reinforcements, it can withstand winds of up to 117 km/h. The only maintenance that is recommended is to clean it once a year with high-pressure water (a so-called pressure washer).

3. Sun or shade? With a movable roof, you have the choice.

You surely know it. There are times when you want to enjoy the shade and would prefer to "turn off" the sun. On the other hand, there are times when the sun's rays recharge you with positive energy, and you want to bask in the sun for as long as possible. With a sliding roof, it is up to you when you let the sun onto the terrace and when you don’t.




Additionally, the roofing is resistant to rain. It is even equipped with an integrated gutter, into which the water drains. You might be surprised that the roof is equipped with a rubber seal to direct the water properly into the gutter. Water flows from the gutter via supporting columns to the ground, either freely into space or, for example, into a rainwater tank.

Other advantages in brief

• Pergolas are made to measure (from 3x3 meters to 13x6 meters)
