Revamp your garden with a retractable roof instead of a pergola
While retractable roofs and fixed pergolas for your garden serve similar purposes, there are some significant differences between these two styles.
Pergolas are the more traditional option. They are fixed structures requiring posts and beams to create a sheltered or shaded space. These permanent structures are installed or constructed in your garden area. Its main purpose is to offer shelter, protection from the elements and beautify the garden area. But that's about it; you must understand that pergolas are expensive to construct, high maintenance structures, offer limited protection from the climate. Also, they fade away and are prone to pests and insects.
On the other hand, retractable roof systems transform your outdoor living space into a luxury relaxation zone. There are several benefits of having a retractable roof installed in your garden instead of a fixed pergola.

Here are some reasons why you should makeover your garden with a retractable roof instead of a pergola:
Retractable Roofs are Convenient – Unlike pergolas that are fixed, retractable roofs can be opened or closed at will. If you want to enjoy the garden views in the winter, it can be opened, and you can enjoy the garden under the warmth of the sun. But if the weather is hot and you still want to spend some time in the garden, you can close the retractable roof for shade.
Budget Friendly – Pergolas are fixed structures, and they are expensive. You constantly need to invest in its maintenance, such as painting, cleaning, pesticides, etc. Retractable roofs are just a one-time investment, and they last for years. In fact, we give several years of warranty on the retractable roof system we install.
Hassle-Free Installation – Pergolas take up space in your garden, and once these fixed structures are built, they cannot be moved, you will have to break them down. A retractable roof, on the other hand, doesn't take up any space. It is installed over the existing building. They can be opened and closed when you want, leaving the space to be used as you like.
Adds Value to Your Property – Not everyone likes a fixed structure in their garden area. There are many property brokers who mention that customers look for retractable roof systems. Installing a retractable roof system increases the value of your property (both residential and commercial). Commercial properties such as restaurants and hotels tend to attract more customers when they have a modish structure in their property.
