Wall-Mounted Polycarbonate Pergola Project in Cork


Custom Roof Opening for an Existing Pipe

The homeowner wanted a wall-mounted pergola with a fixed polycarbonate roof to create a permanently covered patio beside the house. The main technical consideration was an existing external pipe that needed to pass through the new roof rather than be relocated.

Polycarbonate was selected as the most practical and cost-effective roof material for this requirement. Compared with forming the same detail through a glass roof, it allowed the dedicated opening to be prepared more simply and economically. The roof panel was carefully formed around the pipe and the junction was sealed on all sides to maintain weather protection.

The anthracite aluminium structure was installed on the prepared concrete-paved base using U-profile fixings. A solid side wall was incorporated to provide additional privacy and protection on one side of the patio, while integrated gutters and concealed drainage manage rainwater within the pergola system.

AVC Build completed the site measurement, manufactured the pergola to the confirmed project dimensions, delivered it to Cork and carried out the installation. The homeowner received a practical made-to-measure covered patio together with a 10-year warranty for the completed project.
