AVC Build designs, supplies and professionally installs made-to-measure aluminium pergolas throughout Ireland.
This page focuses on fixed-roof pergola projects with laminated safety glass, polycarbonate or trapezoidal sheet with fleece. Pergolas can be wall-mounted, freestanding or designed around corner and L-shaped layouts. Every project is specified around the confirmed dimensions, roof system, supporting layout, drainage, fixing conditions, foundations and site exposure. Side walls, sliding glass door systems, shading, lighting, heating and other compatible elements can be included from the start or reviewed later.
Use the calculator for an initial structure estimate, or send your measurements and photographs for a free initial 3D proposal and a detailed quotation for delivery and professional installation. Bioclimatic and retractable pergolas are available as separate specialist ranges further down this page.

Made-to-Measure Aluminium Pergolas in Ireland
Every AVC Build pergola is manufactured to the confirmed dimensions of the individual project. Even when a commonly requested width and depth are selected, the exact measurements, heights, roof fall, colour and installation conditions must be agreed before production begins.
Fixed-roof pergolas can be wall-mounted, freestanding or configured around a corner or L-shaped layout. The final arrangement is selected around the property, available space, roof material and installation conditions.
The aluminium system can be extended with side walls, sliding glass door systems, privacy panels, shading, lighting, heating and other compatible made-to-measure elements. For smaller covers above an entrance, balcony, staircase or BBQ area, see our aluminium canopies.
Wall-Mounted, Freestanding and Corner Layouts
Wall-Mounted Pergolas
A wall-mounted pergola uses the building as part of the supporting layout, which normally reduces the number of posts required along the wall side. The final post arrangement depends on the width, projection, roof material and structural conditions.
This layout is available with laminated safety glass, polycarbonate and trapezoidal sheet roofing. Wall construction, fixing positions, roof fall and drainage are checked before the final specification is confirmed.
Freestanding Pergolas
A freestanding pergola uses its own supporting posts and can be positioned independently from the house. It is suitable for separate seating areas, dining spaces and locations where attachment to the building is not possible or not required.
Fixed-roof freestanding pergolas are supported independently by their posts. The final post layout and foundations are confirmed for the selected dimensions, roof material and ground conditions.
Corner and L-Shaped Pergolas
Corner and L-shaped pergolas are made for wraparound patios, adjoining outdoor areas and non-standard layouts. Posts, roof fall, drainage and wall connections are configured for the individual project.
Corner and L-shaped fixed-roof layouts can be designed around adjoining patio areas, building corners and non-standard garden spaces. The roof direction, supports and drainage are coordinated as part of the individual project.
Made-to-Measure Fixed Roof Options
The calculator provides an initial estimate for fixed-roof pergolas with laminated safety glass, polycarbonate or trapezoidal sheet with fleece. Every roof is manufactured to confirmed project dimensions rather than supplied in a universal standard size.
Laminated Safety Glass Roof
Laminated safety glass provides maximum natural light and a clean premium appearance. Clear or frosted glass can be selected according to the required balance of daylight and privacy.
Because glass is heavier than polycarbonate, the supporting structure, post layout, foundations, roof fall and drainage are configured for the selected dimensions and installation site.
Polycarbonate Roof
Polycarbonate is a lightweight and practical fixed-roof material. Clear panels retain more daylight, while opal or tinted options can soften glare and provide additional shade.
It is commonly selected for residential patios where the client wants a durable roof at a lower overall cost than laminated safety glass.
Trapezoidal Sheet Roof with Fleece
A trapezoidal sheet roof provides an opaque covering with increased shade and privacy. The fleece backing helps manage condensation beneath the metal roof.
This option is commonly selected for sheltered utility areas, mixed-use outdoor spaces and projects where full transparency is not required.
Adjustable-Roof Pergolas: Bioclimatic & Retractable Systems
Bioclimatic louvre systems and retractable fabric-roof pergolas are specialist ranges with their own technical requirements, controls and pricing. Use the dedicated pages below to compare models and specifications.
Bioclimatic Pergolas
This four-post aluminium louvre system provides adjustable sunlight, ventilation and overhead cover. Full specifications, available options and project requirements are explained on the dedicated page.
Retractable Roof Pergolas
A guided fabric roof can be opened or closed according to the required level of sunlight, shade and overhead cover. Depending on the selected model, the system can be wall-mounted or freestanding.
Motorised controls, lighting and compatible side shading are available. Corner retractable layouts will normally use two systems installed together and are quoted for the individual project.

What Our Pergola Customers Say
“Thank you for your co-operation! We ordered a small pergola for the back garden with lighting and were very pleased with it. We will definitely come back again when we remodel our balcony.
The manager Anton was very polite and adjusted to the time convenient for us. The team who installed the canopy cleaned up all the rubbish.”
“I would highly recommend AVC Build to anyone thinking of getting a pergola installed. What sets them apart from the bigger companies is their end-to-end accountability; unlike others who outsource the assembly, AVC takes full responsibility from start to finish.

Preparing the Installation Area
Concrete Bases, Ground Foundations and Post Fixing
The preparation required for your pergola depends on the existing surface and the selected enclosure options.
Where a suitable concrete base is already in place, aluminium U-profiles can be mechanically anchored to the concrete. Each pergola post is positioned over the profile and securely fixed to create a stable connection for long-term use.
Where no suitable concrete slab is available and sliding glass is not planned, the AVC Build installation team can prepare the required post holes and concrete each pergola post into an individual ground foundation. We excavate the holes, set the post positions and complete the concrete foundations as part of the installation. This means a full concrete base is not always required for an open-sided pergola or a structure with fixed side walls.
A level and accurately finished base is required where sliding glass systems are planned because the lower tracks must remain straight and stable. Unless this work is specifically included in the quotation, the area must be prepared by the customer or their contractor before the pergola installation begins.
The required preparation is confirmed before the installation date, so you know exactly what must be completed in advance. Coastal, elevated and open sites may require a different fixing or structural specification, and a site visit may be recommended where necessary.
