Pitched / Design details
Made for your setting.
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.

Mixed roof zones shelter the patio while retaining daylight around the home. This bespoke project shows possibilities beyond the starting design above.

Works well when
- A restrained roof line suits the architecture.
- There is a clear direction for roof fall and drainage.
- Doors, windows or eaves place limits on the house connection.
We’ll resolve together
- Available height at the house and at the outer edge.
- Where water can collect and discharge.
- How the selected roof product affects adjoining rooms.
Height versus fall
A useful roof fall still needs comfortable head height at the low edge. Both are resolved from measured levels.
Light versus shade
Clear, opal, tinted and solid roof zones change the room differently. The right mix depends on orientation and the rooms beside the deck.
Open span versus supports
Post positions and member depths follow the completed structure, exposure and available foundations.
Structure and roofing
- Powder‑coated aluminium beams, rafters and posts
- Roof joiners, supports and isolation details selected for the specified roof product
- Brackets and fixings resolved for the completed design and site conditions
- Integrated head/house flashing with movement allowance
Acrylic: clear, light grey, dark grey or opal roofing, subject to the current product range and manufacturer data for the selected sheet
Solid: insulated panels with timber sarking for a more enclosed ceiling and opaque shade condition
Combination: solid roof areas with acrylic skylight strips to balance daylight and shade across different zones
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 roof, frame, gutters and flashings
Can we pitch the roof toward the house and use the existing gutter?
A houseward fall can be considered where the measured support, soffit, flashing and existing gutter capacity allow it. The connection and discharge path need to be resolved for the completed design.
How much heat is reduced with acrylic roofing?
Solar-control and UV performance vary by the exact sheet, tint and assembly. Ask for the current manufacturer data for the roof product named in the proposal rather than relying on a category-wide percentage.
Can I combine insulated panels and skylights?
Acrylic and solid roof zones can be considered together where different parts of the area need different daylight and shade conditions. The exact products, transitions, support and drainage need to be resolved as one roof.
Can posts move off corners?
Offset post positions can be investigated where doors, paths or furniture make a corner position unsuitable. Feasibility depends on the completed structure, loads, supports and any required engineering.
