At Apex Verandas, we design, supply and fit aluminium pergolas across Ireland, with a louvered or retractable roof that adjusts to the weather. The roof tilts for shade, closes flat to keep the rain off, and opens right up when the sun is out, so your patio stays usable far more of the year. We cover Dublin, Cork, Galway, Carlow and the wider country, and our Ballymoney base serves Northern Ireland too.
A louvered roof uses adjustable aluminium slats that rotate to give you full shade, filtered light or open sky, and close completely when it rains. Water runs off to integrated guttering, so the area underneath stays dry. It is far more flexible than a fixed canopy and it suits the Irish climate.
If you prefer a roof that folds right back, a retractable system gives you full cover or full sky at the touch of a button. Either option can be fitted with sides, screens or glass sliding doors to create a sheltered outdoor room.
Add glass or louvered sides and your pergola becomes an all-season space you can use in wind and rain. Pair it with our glass sliding doors to close it in fully, or keep it open for summer.
Powder-coated aluminium does not rot, warp or rust like timber, and it holds its colour with almost no upkeep. Add LED lighting or heating to use the space into the evening and through the cooler months.
If you mainly want adjustable shade over a patio, a pergola is ideal. If you want a permanent glass roof against the house, see our folding roof verandas or aluminium verandas. Not sure which fits? We will tell you straight.
How much does an aluminium pergola cost in Ireland?
It depends on size, roof type (louvered or retractable) and extras like sides, lighting or screens. We give a fixed quote after measuring, with no obligation.
Will the roof keep the rain off?
Yes. With the louvres closed or the roof shut, rain runs off to built-in guttering, so the space underneath stays dry.
Do I need planning permission for a pergola?
Usually a pergola is exempt development, but size and position matter. We will check with you before anything is ordered.
