How it works
The main idea.
A pitched pergola extends the roofline with a clean single‑slope canopy and a deliberate drainage direction. It can fall away from the house or, where the existing structure and gutter capacity allow, pitch toward the house on project-specific brackets. The frame, connections and finish are resolved for the measured site rather than selected from a standard span or exposure claim.

Houseward or outward fall assessed against the measured connection
- 02
High and low edges coordinated with doors, windows and eaves
What to confirm
Project scope
What to confirm.
- Structure
- Powder‑coated aluminium beams, rafters and posts
- Performance
- Roof fall, gutters, outlets and discharge path documented for the completed design
- Installation
- The project programme and on-site sequence are confirmed in the proposal after site and supplier checks
Height versus fall
A useful roof fall still needs comfortable head height at the low edge. Both are resolved from measured levels.
