Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I install lighting or fans in a pergola?

    Yes, lighting and ceiling fans can be safely installed in most pergolas, especially if the structure is built to support electrical fittings. Many people choose to add pendant lights, LED strips, or outdoor-rated fans to make their pergola more comfortable and functional after dark. For safety, it’s essential to use weatherproof fittings and hire a licensed electrician. Planning these additions during the design phase helps avoid retrofitting costs later.

  • Is it possible to make a pergola waterproof without changing the design?

    It depends on the current structure, but there are several add-ons that can improve water protection. Options include installing clear or tinted polycarbonate roof panels, adding a retractable canopy, or fitting weatherproof shade sails. These solutions can help block rain while still preserving the open, airy feel of a pergola. Just make sure any upgrades are securely fixed and don’t overload the frame.

  • What are the benefits of adding a pergola to a home’s outdoor area?

    Pergolas create a stylish, usable space that enhances the appeal and function of your yard. They provide partial shade, define seating or dining areas, and help extend indoor living to the outdoors. A well-designed pergola can increase a home’s value and improve lifestyle by offering a relaxed, comfortable spot to unwind or entertain. Plus, they can be customised with plants, lights and other features to suit your personal style.
