Commercial Pergolas in London
For larger outdoor spaces, a pergola creates something closer to an outdoor room: a defined structure with a roof you can open or close, and space for lighting, heating and screens.

When a pergola is the better option

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Pergola or canopy?
Pergolas often have adjustable roofs and create a more room-like space; canopies typically give simpler fixed cover. Both can suit hospitality.
Can a pergola be freestanding?
Yes. Many commercial pergolas are freestanding, which suits gardens and courtyards away from the building.
