What’s included

Selected roof, any selected blinds and standard installation allowances. This starting design attaches to the house wall at ground level. The level perimeter conceals an internal sloping roof; its layout follows your dimensions. Foundations, unusual access or fixings, electrical supply and travel outside our service area are assessed separately. Final price is subject to site confirmation.

Is this roofline right for your home?

01 / The right fit

Start with the house.

Box Perimeter frames the outdoor room with a crisp architectural edge. A deep aluminium perimeter defines the silhouette while the roof fall and drainage sit within the frame. Fixed acrylic roofing preserves daylight without motors or moving roof parts.

Works well when

  • A contemporary, level perimeter suits the existing architecture.
  • The roof fall and drainage can be concealed within the available depth.
  • The pergola is prominent from the street, garden or main outlook.

We’ll resolve together

  • The depth needed for structure, fall, gutter and access.
  • Where downpipes and discharge can go.
  • How the stronger horizontal edge sits beside the house.
Design considerations

02 / What to consider

Resolve the
whole picture.

Consider the materials, installation and everyday use together.

01

Clean edge versus required depth

The perimeter has to hold structure and roof services. Its visual weight is tuned through proportion, colour and post placement.

02

Concealed drainage versus service access

Hidden fall and gutters still need inspectable, maintainable outlets and a clear discharge path.

03

Architectural definition versus subtlety

A box perimeter creates a stronger frame than a simple pitched roof. That can be useful or too dominant depending on the house.

Specification & care

The details that follow the design.

Structure and roofing

A deep aluminium perimeter carries the fixed roof within the frame. Gutters, outlets, downpipes, posts and fixings are coordinated with the completed geometry and site conditions.

Bay sizes and member depths confirmed by the project-specific design

Foundations and fixings resolved from project-specific engineering where required

  • Aluminium perimeter frame and posts sized for the completed design
  • Acrylic roof set into the frame
  • Gutter and downpipe details resolved for the completed design
  • Powder-coated finish selected with current care requirements

Clear or softly tinted acrylic sheets

Concealed fixings where feasible

Downlights within the perimeter

Roller blinds considered for selected exposure and privacy priorities

Installation and maintenance

The project programme and on-site sequence are confirmed in the proposal after site and supplier checks

Cleaning and inspection follow the current written guidance for the selected frame finish, acrylic roof and drainage

Will the frame look heavy?

The visual weight depends on the final member depths, post positions, colour, roof depth and relationship to the home. Those proportions should be reviewed in the project design.

Can gutters hide in the frame?

They can be coordinated within the perimeter where the completed member sizes, roof fall, outlets, access and discharge path allow it.
