00 / The brief

A pergola in Greece is a structural decision wearing a lifestyle photograph.

The Aegean wind does not care what the brochure looked like. A pergola that isn't engineered for its site — wind zone, exposure, anchoring substrate — is a liability by the first autumn storm. Every structure we supply is calculated per site, with certified anchoring and ratings up to Beaufort 10 class, because terraces on the coast are where these systems actually live.

3–5 weeks

One fixed number after the survey covers structure, motors, anchoring, installation and warranty — no provisional sums on a terrace.

Beyond the engineering, the comfort is in the control: rotating louvres that seal against rain, sensors that close the roof before the shower arrives, LED in the structure, ZIP screens in the posts. Sun, shade and shelter from one roof — and for hospitality, modules that repeat across a terrace in the property's colour.

03 / Where it goes

The same material, specified differently per space.

Villa & private terraces
01

Villa & private terraces

Louvres open to the winter sun, seal against the summer shower, and the perimeter glass turns April and October into living season. One survey, one fixed price, one warranty.

Bioclimatic roof with rain seal
Hotel pool decks & roof gardens
02

Hotel pool decks & roof gardens

A shaded, sheltered deck extends service hours and seasons — the space pays for the structure. Modules repeat across the deck, colour-matched to the property, engineered for coastal exposure.

Repeatable module programmes
Restaurant & cafe terraces
03

Restaurant & cafe terraces

Sealed louvres and ZIP screens keep tables bookable in weather that empties open terraces. The structure anchors with minimal intervention to leased facades.

Facade shading & louvre systems

A west-facing glass facade without external shading turns the rooms behind it into a greenhouse by mid-afternoon, and internal blinds only manage the glare, not the heat. Fixed or motorised louvre systems mounted on the facade cut solar gain before it reaches the glass, engineered and anchored to the same wind standards as a terrace pergola.

04 / How to specify it

The decisions that decide the result.

01 / 05

Start with the survey

Dimensions, exposure, anchoring substrate and drainage are recorded on site — the engineering and the fixed price both come from the survey, not from photographs.

02 / 05

Check the permit path early

Rules differ by municipality and structure type. We supply the engineering file and drawings your architect needs and flag the permit route at survey.

03 / 05

Orient the louvres to the sun

Louvre direction against the sun path decides shade quality at the hours you use the terrace. The survey fixes orientation before the structure is ordered.

04 / 05

Decide the perimeter at design stage

Glass panels and ZIP screens retrofit cleanly only when posts and tracks are specified for them. Include the perimeter plan in the initial order.

05 / 05

Decide motorisation and sensors before the electrical first fix

Wind and rain sensors, motor feeds and a control panel all need cabling planned before the walls close, and adding motorisation to a manual structure afterwards means surface-mounted cable runs on a finished terrace. Automation is specified with the structure so the electrician runs everything once, at first fix.

Common mistakes

Buying a catalogue kit for a coastal site

Generic kits assume benign wind zones. On an exposed terrace the first storm finds the anchoring, and the repair costs more than the engineering would have. Wind calculation is not an upgrade — it is the product.

Forgetting where the water goes

Sealed louvres collect rain into the posts and out to drainage. If the terrace drainage isn't planned, the water exits at the threshold — inside the doors.

Adding screens after the fact

ZIP screens need guided posts and motor provision. Retrofitting them onto a structure not specified for them costs more than including them at order.

06 / The long read

Pergolas & Outdoor Shading, from first quote
to a finished room.

Survey, wind engineering, structure, automation and installation come as one contract, so the pergola is a delivered room — not a kit with an anchoring problem. This is the part most suppliers leave out: what we import, how pergolas & Outdoor Shading should be specified before anyone prices it, where projects lose money, and what our 3–5 weeks lead time actually covers.

01

What we import, and what lands on site

Motorised bioclimatic pergolas with rotating louvres, retractable awnings and perimeter glass systems — dimensioned to your terrace, engineered for coastal wind loads, with integrated LED, screens and rain sensors.

Because we buy pergolas & Outdoor Shading directly from the factories, the range you see is the range we can programme — not a catalogue we hope to source later. In practice that means bioclimatic Louvre, retractable Awnings and perimeter Glass, each with its own price band and availability, so a specification can be tuned to a budget instead of abandoned.

One fixed number after the survey covers structure, motors, anchoring, installation and warranty — no provisional sums on a terrace.

02

How pergolas & Outdoor Shading should be specified before it is priced

Specifying pergolas & Outdoor Shading well comes down to a short list of decisions taken in the right order — start with the survey, check the permit path early, orient the louvres to the sun and decide the perimeter at design stage. Taken on paper, these cost nothing. Taken on site, each one is a change order.

We write the specification with you before anything is quoted, so the number you get is for the material that will actually be installed. That means confirmed dimensions and finishes, the right performance class for the space, and quantities that include the waste factor rather than discovering it mid-installation.

The same reference behaves differently depending on where it goes — private terraces and villas, hotel pool and roof decks, restaurant and cafe terraces and outdoor commercial areas each carry their own requirements, and we specify against the space rather than against a mood image.

03

Where pergolas & Outdoor Shading projects lose time and money

Almost every delay we are called in to rescue traces back to the same handful of causes: buying a catalogue kit for a coastal site, forgetting where the water goes, adding screens after the fact and skipping the drainage detail at the post base. None of them are exotic, and all of them are avoidable at specification stage.

Buying a catalogue kit for a coastal site is the most expensive one, because generic kits assume benign wind zones. On an exposed terrace the first storm finds the anchoring, and the repair costs more than the engineering would have. Wind calculation is not an upgrade — it is the product.

We have supplied pergolas & Outdoor Shading into villa & private terraces, hotel pool decks & roof gardens and restaurant & cafe terraces, and the pattern is consistent: the projects that run smoothly are the ones where the material was locked before the trades were booked.

Forgetting where the water goes — checked once on paper, never again on site.

ZIP screens need guided posts and motor provision. Retrofitting them onto a structure not specified for them costs more than including them at order.

Skipping the drainage detail at the post base

A post set without a drainage path at its base traps water against the anchoring plate, and the corrosion is only discovered years later as unexplained movement in the structure.

04

Lead times, pricing and what we handle

Standard lead time on pergolas & Outdoor Shading is 3–5 weeks from confirmed specification, and that window covers the whole chain — factory programming, consolidation, transport, customs where applicable and delivery to site or to your warehouse. We quote the landed number, not an ex-works price that grows later.

Pricing is per project rather than per line. Because we import directly and consolidate pergolas & Outdoor Shading with the rest of the materials for the same room, you get one quote, one delivery window and one point of contact — and the savings show up on the total, not just on a headline reference.

If you already have drawings, send them and we will come back with a specification and a landed price. If you do not, we will build the specification with you first. Either way, nothing is ordered until the quantities, finishes and dates are agreed in writing.

07 / Questions

Frequently asked

Does a pergola need a permit in Greece?+

Rules vary by municipality and structure type. We supply the engineering file and drawings your architect needs, and flag the permit path at survey.

Will it stand up to coastal wind?+

Yes — structures are engineered per site for the actual wind zone, with certified anchoring. Ratings up to Beaufort 10 class are available.

Can it close fully against rain?+

The bioclimatic roof seals against rain and we add perimeter glass or ZIP screens where you want a full outdoor room — the water drains through the posts.

What does a pergola cost installed?+

It depends on span, wind rating and options — after a free survey you get one fixed number covering structure, motors, installation and warranty.
