Materials
Roofing
Timber
Visually it reads like an interior ceiling that’s been extended outdoors, so it ties into timber floors, joinery and furniture and makes the pergola feel like a built-in room rather than a bolt-on cover.
Key characteristics
- Look/feel: Natural grain, warm colour and a finished ceiling effect; suits higher-end projects or where you want the pergola to feel like an extension of the interior.
- Comfort: Insulated panels plus timber lining give strong heat and glare reduction vs acrylic alone and noticeably soften rain noise and general sound.
- Light: More solid/opaque than acrylic, so it’s often combined with acrylic skylight strips in selected bays to keep daylight levels up.
- Maintenance: Needs periodic oiling or staining to keep the timber looking sharp, and occasional cleaning like any exterior timber; more upkeep than bare aluminium or acrylic but with a more premium, “furnished” result.

Roofing
Acrylic
Clear or tinted acrylic sheets that keep the pergola light and open while blocking UV and rain.
Key characteristics
- Look/feel: Light, crisp roofline that keeps sky views and a clean, modern read.
- Comfort: Good rain protection with moderate heat and glare control depending on tint.
- Light: High daylight transmission; clear feels almost open, tints soften brightness and reduce glare.
- Maintenance: Occasional washing to remove dust and debris; no recoating required, but avoid harsh abrasives to keep the surface clear.

We visit your site, measure carefully and talk through how you want to use the space. We look at the size and layout, the style of your home and key views from inside and out. We then work through roof options—including timber, acrylic or a combination—to suit your goals for the space and the look of the pergola.
