£2589.00

The Orion 4m x 3m Aluminum Rectangular Pergola stands out as a top-notch creation, ideal for enhancing the elegance of your outdoor area with a covered section.

Crafted exclusively from aluminum, this remarkable pergola is fully impermeable and resistant to all weather conditions for prolonged use. The structure is shielded from UV rays, thus preventing discoloration and other damages typically triggered by heat, while also providing protection from harmful UV rays for you and your loved ones. These weather-resistant features imply that minimal upkeep is necessary, allowing the pergola to remain a breathtaking addition to your patio or terrace space.

In addition, we take pride in announcing that this range of pergolas is coated with a TIGER Drylac powder finish, offering enhanced shielding compared to regular powder coatings, and is exceptionally long-lasting.

This pergola presents an excellent chance to elongate your outdoor time. By virtue of the adjustable double-layer louvers, you can seamlessly switch between a closed, sheltered area and an open top that welcomes abundant sunlight. This flexibility enables you to utilize your outdoor space even during inclement weather. The pergola empowers you to opt between basking in the sun or relaxing in the shade, all while enjoying a completely waterproof roof in case of sudden rainfall – a common occurrence in British weather!

Featuring a smart built-in drainage mechanism, you can avoid the hassle of opening the louvred roof to facilitate water drainage. Any rainwater that lands on the louvers cascades into U-shaped grooves. From there, the water is directed from the roof into the channels within the pergola frame. Once inside the horizontal frame, the rainwater drains into the hollow legs of the pergola and then flows down vertically to the ground. This ingenious system ensures that water drips off the pergola discreetly. Even when the louvers are open after rain, the U-shaped channels prevent water from trickling beneath the sheltered region.

Assembly is required for this pergola, and we recommend the assistance of 2-3 individuals to safely hoist and erect it. The construction process takes roughly 2 hours. To secure the pergola to the ground, expansion bolts are provided as standard. We advise installing the pergola on a level, solid, and firm base, such as concrete slabs. It is highly recommended to firmly bolt all pergola legs to the ground through the holes in each leg’s base plate.

Our pergolas do not necessitate planning consent. Nevertheless, if unsure, we always advocate reaching out to your Local Planning Office.

This pergola model has clinched the prestigious Red-Dot design accolade, underscoring its suitability for your outdoor setting.

FAQs

The size of the shed depends on what you plan to store or use it for. Measure the items you plan to store and consider any additional space for moving around or future storage needs. Common sizes range from small (6×8 feet) for basic storage to large (12×24 feet) for workshops or extensive storage.
Sheds are typically made from wood, metal, or plastic. Wood is aesthetically pleasing and customizable but requires more maintenance. Metal sheds are durable and secure but can be prone to rust. Plastic sheds are low-maintenance and easy to assemble but may not be as sturdy as wood or metal.

Permit requirements vary by location. Check with your local building department or zoning office. Typically, small sheds (under 120 square feet) may not require a permit, but larger ones or those with electrical installations often do.

A solid foundation is crucial for stability and longevity. Options include concrete slabs, gravel bases, or wooden platforms. Choose a foundation based on your shed’s size, material, and the ground conditions of your site.
Look for sheds with features like weather-resistant materials, proper sealing, and robust construction. Ensure the shed has a good roof overhang, proper drainage, and secure locking mechanisms to protect against theft and weather damage.
Assembly time depends on the size and complexity of the shed. Small, simple sheds can be assembled in a few hours, while larger or more complex sheds may take a full day or more. Professional installation is also an option for those who prefer not to DIY.
Maintenance depends on the material. Wooden sheds need periodic painting or staining and checking for rot or pests. Metal sheds may need rust prevention treatments. Plastic sheds require minimal maintenance, typically just cleaning as needed.
Moving a shed is possible but can be challenging, especially for larger structures. It’s easier to move a smaller shed if it has a solid base. Consider the logistics and potential costs of moving before installation. If moving is likely, a portable shed might be a better option.
Many sheds come with detailed assembly instructions, making them suitable for DIY installation, especially smaller models. However, larger or more complex sheds may require professional installation to ensure they are properly and safely assembled. Assess your skill level, available tools, and the complexity of the shed before deciding.
