How to attach a cover to a pergola?

A pergola is not just a beautiful modern structure fixed to the side of a home or standing freely in a garden. This type of installation is above all a way to perfect your home, to create a new outdoor room and a space that provides a perfect transition at every time of year.

Upgrading your pergola

To do so, it goes without saying that many accessories can come into play. This highlights the very versatility of the pergola and above all, its ability to adapt to all the needs expressed by homeowners.

Whether the sun is shining and you want to enjoy your outdoor space in winter, or conversely, it is raining and you still want to make the most of this new type of room, the best option remains equipping and upgrading your pergola.

The pergola cover falls into the broad category of accessories and allows for many things. We guide you through its installation and present the main advantages it brings to your pergola.

Why install a closing cover on your pergola?

This is a great alternative that offers greater ease of use than awnings. Pergola covers are the ideal ally for sheltering from bad weather while still being able to enjoy your outdoor space.

The examples speak for themselves. You can for instance enjoy a summer's day by the pool and quickly shelter from nearby rain without having to rush inside to bring in your guests or your table!

Undeniably, the cover allows for easy handling and offers the ability to adapt to any situation extremely quickly. It is easy to use and the waterproofing of the structure is consistently guaranteed.

Attaching a cover to your CliKIT pergola?

Like all the products made available to you by CliKIT, your closing cover will arrive in kit form and can be assembled very easily in no time at all.

The technical team will always be by your side when needed, while naturally providing the instructions and all information related to a safe and easy assembly.

The list of tools required is available in advance in the technical instructions and in practice, the assembly will be carried out by first fixing all the panels to the top of the pergola. Quite logically, these same flexible panels will then need to be unrolled and positioned in the correct direction.

For certain dimensions, an intermediate post will be required and will mark the completion of the installation. Almost child's play, always with the support of CliKIT's specialists when needed.

The advantages of pergola covers: a wide and custom-made choice at CliKIT

By constantly modernising your pergola and adapting it to your needs, you gain considerable advantages and above all, the assurance of always being able to enjoy your structure. CliKIT therefore highlights its custom covers, which share certain similarities with awnings, to which we will return.

Regarding the covers for CliKIT pergolas, the advantages remain the same as for other products and generally for the pergolas to which they are fitted. By adapting each kit to each custom pergola, you ensure that you can add value that fits perfectly with your existing structure or, conversely, your future project.

In greenhouse mode, translucent and even opaque, with lighter or darker colours, the quality of the canvases remains very high. The result is a great success and adapts perfectly over time, while maintaining the original objectives. Over time, the waterproofing and adaptability to every situation remain completely intact.

Awning or cover for my pergola?

This is a legitimate question that many people may ask themselves when adding an option to their pergola. We have outlined the advantages of custom covers for pergolas, including in particular their great adaptability.

Since these covers are managed manually only, it is important to point out that the budget for a cover is not the same as for an awning. This lower price can therefore be an additional argument in favour of covers, without the slightest compromise in terms of quality and waterproofing.

With an awning, there are more options available and depending on the model, motorised versions are possible.

On certain products, it is also possible to add other options, giving awnings even greater versatility. However, our closing covers have the advantage of being considerably more affordable than awnings, while also being a very high-quality product. As such, it is entirely possible to enjoy your pergola and protect yourself from potential weather changes in just a few seconds thanks to the CliKIT custom cover.
