Available in 2 sizes

The Proteus aluminium pergola is available as a 4x3m rectangular pergola, as well as 3x3m square pergola for smaller spaces.

Slate Grey is a very popular colour for garden features. If you have aluminium furniture, it's almost certainly dark grey and and this pergola will look right at home. If you need an exact match with other garden features, this is RAL 7015.

NEW! Pebble Grey (RAL 7032) is a lighter, not-quite white, with beige undertones. The brighter colour can be used to lift a design and tone with a beige, buff and brown colour palette.

New! Optional adjustable blinds

Here we see the privacy screens partially lowered on the Proteus 4x3 aluminium pergola with louvred roof. They give you full control over protection from sun, breeze and privacy.

Choose the 4x3m size and you have the option of adding up to four adjustable blinds, for whichever sides of the pergola suit you best. Create an effective shelter from that prevailing breeze or add privacy from the next-door neighbour.

Blinds are operated by hand and can be positioned as you wish.

New! Optional louvred side panels

Grey Proteus meta; pergola with fixed-louvre side wall, next to hedge.
The fixed-louvre side wall option gives you increased weather-protection and privacy.

Fixed-louvre side panels extend your privacy options for the 3x4m pergola. In powder-coated aluminium to match the frame, the panels are a permanent installation, allowing air flow and a view out from within the pergola, while restricting visibility. The view in is particularly restricted from above, so you can avoid being looked down on from upstairs windows.

Choose up to 3 panels per side. The maximum of 11 results in almost complete enclosure, with space for entry.

New! Optional electric heater

Infra-red pergola heater.
The Proteus Pergola Patio Heater creates a cosy space on cool evenings.

Enjoy longer evenings and cooler weather by adding the Proteus Pergola Electric Patio Heater to keep you cosy. Its infra-red technology that makes it extremely efficient, because it warms you, not the air around you. Our 5m extension cable (bought separately) will help you position your pergola with heater wherever you wish.

Award-winning design

The Proteus 3x3 Grey aluminium pergola adds to the sleek, modern look of this patio by East London Garden Design.

What makes the Proteus louvred pergola so elegant is its design, based on the company's 2020 Red Dot winner. If you haven’t come across Red Dot yet, it’s a prestigious international design competition that singles out products worthy of recognition in their different categories. Judges described this pergola design as “functionally sophisticated”.

Clever drainage system

And it certainly is. A smooth hand-crank takes the louvres from fully closed to fully open in less than 30 seconds, allowing a quick, watertight response.

And have you ever opened up a pergola roof, only to be deluged by last night’s rain? The Proteus ensures this never happens.

Water drains from the fully watertight roof louvres into the legs, via the side panels, in an effective inbuilt drainage system, so no getting drenched when opening louvres after rain.

The picture shows how the louvres are watertight, ensuring no water drips through below. At the same time, the clever drainage system directs water into the side-frames, where it’s channelled into the legs and drains out of the leg bases. No sudden wet surprises!

And, more clever still, while we recommend installing the pergola on even ground, the design ensures water drains even when the pergola is standing on uneven ground.

Simple elegance

Finally, and most importantly, it’s simple and elegant. The Proteus’ slim outline is surprisingly versatile and fits cleanly into so many settings.
