Polycarbonate Pergola Designed Around Two Building Sections
The homeowner requested the pergola during construction of the house so that the covered terrace could be planned before the final outdoor tiles were laid. The completed structure provides a sheltered place to relax, weather protection for the rear entrance and a defined outdoor area that can be finished as part of the wider landscaping works.
The main design consideration was attaching the pergola to two separate sections of the rear elevation. AVC Build measured the area and manufactured the rectangular aluminium structure to fit the building accurately, with both wall junctions carefully weather-sealed.
Two support posts were incorporated to distribute the structural load and reduce unnecessary stress on the wall connections. The client prepared the concrete foundations in advance; AVC Build anchored U-profile fixings to them and secured the pergola posts in position.
The fixed clear polycarbonate roof provides permanent overhead rain protection while allowing useful natural daylight to continue reaching the covered terrace and rear elevation of the home. Integrated gutters collect rainwater, which is routed discreetly through the support posts using concealed drainage.
AVC Build completed the site measurement, design, made-to-measure manufacture, delivery and installation. The pergola itself was complete when these photographs were taken; work inside the house and around the surrounding terrace was still in progress, and the client planned to finish the floor with outdoor tiles. The completed aluminium structure is supported by a 10-year structural warranty.
