What changes the price

Pergola type

Motorised bioclimatic louvres cost roughly twice as much as fixed louvres, because of the motor, rotating blades and integrated drainage.

Size and span

Larger spans need stronger beams and sometimes extra posts. Price per m² usually drops slightly as the area grows.

Wall-mounted or freestanding

A freestanding pergola needs four or more posts and footings, which adds about 10%.

Finish

Standard RAL powder coating is included. Wood-effect finishes add about 25%.

Options

LED lighting, motorised zip screens on the open sides, and rain and wind sensors are priced per item.

Site conditions

Rooftops, difficult access or special foundations can affect the final price. This is why we confirm every quote with a site visit.
