Is a retractable fabric pergola waterproof?
A retractable fabric pergola is designed to provide excellent cover from sun and rain.
The tensioned fabric roof channels rainwater into the frame’s integrated guttering and away from the covered area. It is designed for larger area coverage specifically in windier areas or where rain protection is also required.
One key factor is using high quality awning fabric materials you benefit from natural light ingress even when closed, unlike a louvre bladed system, which plunges you into darkness with a solid roof. Prefect in the spring and summer months with showers during the daytime.
It’s a shading and weather protection structure rather than a sealed room, so in heavy, wind driven rain a small amount of water may occasionally find its way past the gutters. This is normal for an outdoor structure and shouldn’t be compared with a conservatory or solid roof.
