ClearVue Pergola in Orakei

ClearVue® Pergola with Grey Tint Roofing

This custom ClearVue® pergola was designed to provide reliable weather protection over an existing deck while keeping the outdoor area bright and open.

The aluminium frame was attached directly to the house, with the rear beam fixed to the wall and the front of the pergola supported by two posts installed on top of the deck. A 250 mm roof overhang provides additional coverage beyond the front beam.
