23.01.2022 Must be the season for new pergolas! But then again, who wouldn’t want an outdoor area that’s perfect for all seasons? Our client asked us to come and enclose their outdoor area, to make it perfect for all seasons! Although this job had its challenges (with a heavily sloped roof) our team was more than happy to help!... We completed this pergola by attaching the frame to either side of the roof to avoid using visible posts to the ground. This also meant that the guttering originally on the roof could remain, meaning not a drop of water should be able to access the courtyard Before and after photos below, plus the clients review (we love seeing clients positive reviews of our work!)
