The generous size of the Proteus Slate Grey 6x3 Aluminium Pergola with Optional Sides is ideal for garden parties, amply covering a large outdoor dining table and chairs. Alternatively, placed over a hot tub and with side-screens included, it provides a private retreat. Shade and shelter are controlled with a fully adjustable louvred roof that adjusts moves from fully open to fully closed in around 30 seconds, using an easy-turn crank handle. Built for year-round outdoor use, the pergola features a durable aluminium frame finished in Slate Grey (RAL 7015). The powder-coated structure is resistant to rust and UV exposure, ensuring it maintains its good looks. Installation can be completed by 2–3 people within a few hours. After installation, maintenance is minimal—just periodically check and clear the water channels to keep drainage working efficiently. Optional textilene side screens can be added to any or all of the sides. These pull-down panels are fully height-adjustable, making it easy to create shade, rebuff breezes and improve privacy. We recommend that all customers read our product & installation guides before buying.
