Sliding glass on a pergola
04/01/2019

Pergolas can give you shelter in your garden, but by adding glass around the sides of the structure, you can effectively add another room to your home. Check out our top reasons to invest in sliding glass on your pergola.

Wind and rain protection

When you install a pergola, you probably have an idyllic image of using it in the blazing sunshine: that doesn’t mean that it can’t still be used at all times of year in different weather conditions, though. Glass around the outside can only protect your friends and family from the elements, but it can also protect furniture from getting damaged.With glass, your pergola becomes a true covered pergola that can be enjoyed in various weather conditions.

Maximum sunlight

You probably invested in a pergola to enjoy when it’s warmest and sliding glass doesn’t compromise this. Whilst adding walls to your pergola would make you feel a little enclosed, a pergola with glass will still feel firmly rooted in the garden.

Possibility for blind installation

With glass all around your pergola, you can install blinds around the outside to help shield you from the sun if need be. This makes your pergola a lot more multifunctional, as you can choose to let the sun in or keep it out, depending on the situation.
