Are you looking for a way to take your backyard to the next level? Have you considered adding a pergola? You may not be aware of all the details or even of the retractable variety.

Pergolas are structures made of several vertical posts that support an open roof usually with rafters and cross-beams. They have become more popular in recent years as people look to spruce up their patios, decks, and backyards. And adjustable models make them even more desirable because they provide extra protection from the elements when needed and can also give your patio or deck more room when not being used.

Adjustable pergolas are one of the hottest trends in outdoor living right now and with good reason. Not only do they add aesthetic appeal, but they can also provide shade on hot days, keep out rain and wind during storms, and make your outdoor space brighter at night with lighting options.

What are adjustable pergolas?

An adjustable pergola is a structure that gives you the ability to enjoy the outdoors even during times of inclement weather. It’s essentially an open-air roof with movable louvers or slats that rotate 0-150 degrees to provide shade and protection from the sun, rain, and wind.

Motorized pergolas also come in a canvas-fabric roof option, which fully retracts to create a completely open roof. Unlike a traditional pergola, adjustable pergolas have the added benefit of being adjustable (with a remote control!), allowing you to maximize your outdoor living space and enjoy the outdoors all year round.
