Automatic Comfort From Spring to Late Summer With Pergola Awnings

Thanks to automated shading beneath your pergola, you always enjoy a comfortable outdoor space – rain or shine.

            

What Is a Pergola Awning?

A pergola awning is a stylish blend of sunshade and patio cover. It features a robust frame – often made of aluminium – with a weather-resistant fabric canopy that provides protection from both sun and rain. The fabric glides smoothly along guide rails and is often retractable, allowing you to adjust the level of shade or sunlight to suit your needs.

Unlike a fixed canopy, a pergola awning offers maximum flexibility. On hot days, it provides cooling shade, while in changeable weather, it gives you a sheltered, usable space outdoors.

From Unpredictable Springs to Balmy Summer Evenings

British weather is famously unpredictable. In spring, you may bask in gentle sunshine one moment – and face a sudden downpour the next. In summer, the sun can become too intense to sit outside comfortably.

With smart pergola awnings, there’s no need to give it a second thought. Sensors automatically respond to sunlight, wind, and rain. The canopy or slats move precisely when needed – without you lifting a finger.

  

 

Easy Control, Your Way

A pergola with electric shading is not only practical, it’s easy to control:

• Somfy TaHoma App – control your pergola from anywhere
• Automatic Sensors – react to sun, rain, or wind
• ​Remote Control or Wall Switch – quick and easy access at your fingertips

Choose the control method that suits you best – while the comfort takes care of itself.

Comfort and Luxury in Your Own Garden

A pergola with tilting slats or a retractable canopy gives you a sense of luxury with practical benefits:

• Always the right amount of sun or shade
• Protection from rain and wind
• Extend your outdoor season
• Shield your garden furniture and accessories

The combination of sleek design and smart technology makes your garden a place you’ll want to be in – whatever the season. What’s more, automated control helps prolong the life of your awning by protecting it from harsh weather.

Relax Beneath Your Pergola, Any Time of Day

Pergola awnings create a space where you can truly unwind, any time of day. Lounge in your favourite chair with a book, work outside in peace, or enjoy long evenings with friends. Even on cooler late-summer nights, the shelter keeps things cosy by blocking out the evening chill.

How Much Does a Pergola Awning Cost?

The price of a pergola with electric shading depends on several factors:

• The type of pergola awning (as described above)
• The quality of materials and finish
• The dimensions (custom-made or standard size)
• Additional features (app control, lighting, sensors, etc.)

With a Somfy automation solution, you’re choosing quality, comfort, and durability – available through specialist awning dealers.
