Made-to-Measure Aluminium Solutions for Every Project

Large made-to-measure aluminium structure with glazing and side walls

AVC Build does not limit customers to a small list of standard dimensions. Our aluminium structures can be manufactured around the available space and the practical purpose of the project—from a compact entrance canopy to a large multi-bay terrace roof, carport or enclosed hospitality structure.

For homeowners, we design patio roofs, pergolas, carports, entrance canopies, garden rooms and protected outdoor areas around the house, garden and driveway. For bars, restaurants and hotels, we can develop larger covered seating areas with fixed or opening roofs, weather protection and coordinated access.

A structure can remain open, be partially protected from the prevailing weather, or be enclosed on selected sides with sliding glass, fixed glazing, polycarbonate, aluminium panels, ZIP screens or other compatible wall systems. Lighting, heating, shading and integrated rainwater drainage can be planned from the beginning or considered later where the selected system permits.

Final dimensions, roof type, post positions, wall connection, foundations, drainage and equipment are confirmed for the individual site before production.

Enclosures, Shading and Integrated Comfort Options

Plan compatible elements during the initial design or review suitable upgrades later as the way you use the space changes.

Awnings and External Shading

Residential folding-arm patio awning

AVC Build supplies external shading for houses, patios, balconies, windows, glazed roofs, restaurants, cafés, hotels and commercial façades.

The range includes folding-arm patio awnings, full- and semi-cassette systems, vertical awnings, drop awnings, ZIP screens and window shading. For existing pergolas, patio roofs and glazed structures, selected over-roof and under-roof awnings provide additional control over heat and direct sunlight.

Horizontal and vertical solutions can be selected according to the required projection, fixing position, fabric, privacy, wind exposure, motorisation and the way the area is used. Compatible systems can include remote control, sensors and coordinated profile or fabric colours.


Premium Made-to-Measure Pergola Systems

These are advanced architectural systems rather than standard off-the-shelf covers. Model selection, dimensions, controls, drainage, foundations and side closures are specified individually before quotation.

Bioclimatic pergola with adjustable motorised aluminium louvres

Bioclimatic Pergolas

Motorised aluminium louvres rotate to control direct sunlight, shade and natural ventilation. When the roof closes, water is directed towards the designed perimeter drainage route. Selected premium systems also allow the louvres to retract and open a larger part of the roof.

Freestanding, wall-mounted and connected multi-module arrangements are available. The suitable model is selected according to the required movement, covered area, site exposure and planned enclosure.

Retractable Pergolas

A guided technical fabric roof folds into an organised stack when opened and extends across the aluminium guide system when closed. These structures provide flexible sunlight, shade and designed rain protection for premium residential and hospitality spaces.

Every project is assessed for Irish conditions. The final specification considers wind exposure, rainfall, drainage, structure size, anchoring, foundations, the supporting building and whether the property is coastal, elevated or open. Relevant manufacturer calculations and test data are checked when the system is selected.

This technical preparation is reinforced by the real experience of AVC Build customers using installed structures in Irish weather throughout the year.

For qualifying structures installed by AVC Build, the client receives a written warranty certificate providing a 10-year warranty on the aluminium structure. The certificate allows the client to contact AVC Build during the warranty period.

Frequently Asked Questions About AVC Build

What aluminium structures does AVC Build provide?

AVC Build designs, supplies and installs made-to-measure aluminium pergolas, carports, canopies, awnings, bioclimatic pergolas, retractable fabric-roof systems, garden rooms, enclosed hospitality structures and commercial shelters.

Can you manufacture a canopy or pergola to unusual dimensions?

Yes. Most commercial service projects are manufactured to confirmed dimensions rather than limited to a small range of standard sizes. The final layout depends on structural feasibility, roof material, post positions, drainage, foundations, fixings and site exposure.

Can an outdoor structure be enclosed with walls or sliding glass?

Yes. Selected structures can use sliding glass, fixed glazing, polycarbonate, aluminium or metal side walls, ZIP screens, privacy panels and doors. Compatibility and the required floor preparation must be reviewed for the chosen structure.

Does AVC Build provide professional installation?

Yes. Professional installation is available for qualifying residential, commercial and public projects. Access, foundations, fixings, drainage and site-specific requirements are confirmed during quotation.

What is the difference between bioclimatic and retractable pergolas?

A bioclimatic pergola uses adjustable aluminium louvres. A retractable pergola uses a guided folding technical-fabric roof.

Does AVC Build work with restaurants, hotels, schools and contractors?

Yes. Projects include hospitality covers, employee rest areas, bicycle and motorcycle shelters, school canopies, entrance covers, fencing and other project-specific aluminium structures.

Are AVC Build structures designed for Irish weather?

Each project is assessed for its location, dimensions, wind exposure, rainfall, drainage, fixing method and foundations. Relevant product calculations, test data and technical limitations are checked before the final specification is confirmed.

What warranty is provided?

Qualifying aluminium structures installed by AVC Build are supplied with a written warranty certificate providing a 10-year warranty on the aluminium structure. Roof coverings, glazing, motors, electrical equipment and accessories are covered under the applicable product warranty terms.
