Proteus 3m x 3m Pergola White

The Proteus 3m Square Aluminium/Steel Pergola - White is perfect for adding a stylish, covered area to your outdoor space.Made from aluminium leg poles and horizontal framework as well as galvanised steel louvres, this stunning pergola is ideal for long-term use. The design is UV protected and therefore resistant to fading and other damage typically caused by heat, plus it protects you and your family from harmful UV rays as well as corrosion resistant.This pergola is the perfect opportunity to extend your outdoor season. Thanks to the tilting louvres, you can switch between a closed, sheltered space and an open top which allows sunlight to come flooding in. When the louvres are closed the roof is fully watertight and waterproof. This means that you can use your outdoor area even when the weather is less than perfect. This pergola ultimately allows you to choose between sitting in sunshine or shade and provides a fully waterproof roof should it start to rain at a moment's notice - typical of British weather!There is a brilliant built-in drainage system which prevents you from having to open the louvred roof to let water drain. Any rainwater that lands on the louvres flows into U-shaped channels. From here, the water flows from the roof and into channels in the pergola framework. Once in the horizontal framework, the rainwater will then flow into the inside of the hollow pergola legs and vertically down to the ground. This genius system means that you'll never see the water draining off of the pergola. If you were to open the louvres when wet, the U-shaped channels prevent rainwater from dripping under the sheltered area.This pergola will require assembly and we recommend 2-3 people are required to safely lift and assemble the pergola. The build time is approx 2 hours. In order to secure the pergola to the ground, expansion bolts are supplied as standard. We recommend mounting the pergola on a flat solid and hard surface, like concrete bases. It is strongly recommended that all pergola legs are securely bolted to the floor using the holes within each leg base plate.
