Fabric Roof Pergolas
Flexible Shade with a Stylish, Contemporary Finish
A fabric roof pergola combines the structure and presence of a modern pergola with the flexibility of a retractable roof.
Open the roof to enjoy sunshine and an unobstructed view of the sky or extend the fabric when you want shade and protection from light rain.
With a sleek aluminium frame and high-quality retractable fabric roof, a fabric pergola creates a relaxed outdoor space that works beautifully alongside both contemporary and traditional homes.
At Broadview, we supply and install premium fabric roof pergolas from Brustor, designed to make your garden more comfortable, versatile and enjoyable.
What is a Fabric Roof Pergola?
A fabric roof pergola consists of a strong aluminium frame combined with a retractable fabric roof. Unlike a conventional open pergola, the roof can be extended to create shade and shelter. When you want more sunlight, simply retract the roof. Depending on the model, the fabric can be operated manually or motorised for effortless operation.
Why Choose a Fabric Pergola?
- Flexible shade: Extend the roof when you want protection from direct sunlight and retract it when you want to enjoy the sunshine.
- A softer aesthetic: Fabric creates a lighter, softer appearance than a fully aluminium roof, making it particularly attractive for relaxed garden entertaining areas.
- Let the sunshine in: When the roof is retracted, you can enjoy an open view and maximum natural light.
- Motorised operation: Motorised systems make it easy to extend or retract the roof at the touch of a button.
- Create a stylish outdoor room: Combine the roof with side screens, heating and lighting to create a comfortable space for entertaining throughout more of the year.
Fabric or Louvred Pergola: Which is Right for You?
Both options provide flexible outdoor shading, but they create a different look and experience.
- A louvred roof pergola uses adjustable aluminium blades, giving you precise control over sunlight, shade and ventilation.
- A fabric roof pergola uses a retractable textile roof, creating a softer and more relaxed aesthetic.
If you want maximum control over airflow and changing sunlight, a louvred roof could be the better choice. However, if you prefer a lighter appearance and the feel of a traditional retractable awning combined with a pergola structure, fabric could be ideal.
Fabric Pergolas for Patios and Gardens
A fabric roof pergola works particularly well over patios and terraces close to the house. It can create a natural transition between your indoor and outdoor living spaces, providing shade directly outside a kitchen, dining room or lounge.
Freestanding options can also create a separate garden retreat, depending on the model and configuration selected.
