The house has an old stone wing and a sheltered courtyard garden. The owners wanted a covered space they could open to the sky on good days and close up on bad ones.
What we fitted
- Model: Pinela Retractable, our aluminium pergola with a motorised roof that slides open.
- Size: 5m wide.
- Walls: glass sliding panels on the open sides.
- Frame: anthracite grey aluminium.
How it works
With the roof slid open it’s an open-air patio. Closed, it’s rainproof, and with the glass pulled across it’s a sheltered room looking onto the stone cottage and the garden.
How the job ran
Our Cork team from the Charleville showroom measured the courtyard, gave a fixed written quote and fitted the unit with our own team.
Thinking of something similar?
A retractable roof suits a courtyard: shade when the sun is high, cover when it rains, and the glass walls take the wind out of it. If you’re unsure about planning for your site, check with your local council before you order.
