CliKIT on TVWaterproof pergola: which one to choose?
While it is always good to anticipate, it is certainly vital to do so for this question! As trendy as the pergola may be in a plethora of properties, it is absolutely essential to assess your needs even before purchasing and launching the project. If you would like to know more about our pergolas, feel free to also consult our aluminum pergola guide.
Why choose waterproofing
Among these needs, one can often find the need to stay dry and, intrinsically, to be able to enjoy one's installation when the elements are unleashed and outdoor conditions are not at their best.
Yes, it is perfectly feasible to enjoy your pergola in the rain with perfect waterproofing when you are on your terrace or elsewhere.
With reference to the custom-made kit pergola, CliKIT guides you through what to do to waterproof your pergola and make it even more enjoyable, without having to worry about the weather and any potential rainfall.
So, how do you choose or make your pergola waterproof?
The bioclimatic pergola: the solution for a waterproof pergola
For obvious reasons, certain materials should be ruled out when choosing a pergola if you want it to be completely waterproof and of good quality on your terrace or elsewhere. A waterproof wooden pergola is very difficult to find or maintain, unlike an aluminum pergola. Decidedly more modern, this type of structure and this specific material offer many advantages, particularly in terms of maintenance and, in this case, the waterproofing sought.
However, there are several types of aluminum pergolas, including the large family of bioclimatic pergolas. Controllable and adjustable, this type of construction is perfectly in tune with the times, yet it also has the merit of adapting just as well to traditional homes as to modern ones.
The fact remains that today, the bioclimatic pergola appeals to the majority of homeowners, including in areas where humidity and rainfall are significant. The reason is simple: the bioclimatic pergola is the obvious solution for obtaining a waterproof pergola and quality protection.
Resistant and reliable materials for a waterproof pergola
The advantages of the bioclimatic pergola, which, as its name suggests, adapts to all weather conditions and therefore to water, need no introduction. This obviously includes rain and all events that could compromise the waterproofing of the structure. In this case, the first thing to consider is the roof, its structure and all the moisture that could fall on it.
The other major advantage of a custom-made pergola is undeniably the modulation capacity available after installation. Once it has been fixed to a wall section or directly on a terrace at ground level.
This is not an issue on a bioclimatic pergola with its blades, and even less so on a kit and custom-made pergola like those offered by CliKIT. These are perfectly waterproof in the rain, even in the event of a downpour, as the waterproofing limit is set at 180 mm/h: enough to reassure regions of France that are accustomed to stormy skies!
Others are more accustomed to snowfall, which can be somewhat magical at times. However, the residents of these regions know all too well how snow, in all its forms, can jeopardize the waterproofing and safety of structures. Once again, the bioclimatic pergola and its adjustable blades from CliKIT are designed for these conditions with a resistance of 45 kg per m2. So many arguments in favor of a waterproof pergola and a structure that can be adjusted at will thanks to the pergola accessories to enjoy every moment within it.
An aluminum pergola for enjoying your waterproof extension in all weathers
Bioclimatic louvered pergolas are very popular, but the more traditional ones, still in aluminum for obvious reasons at CliKIT, can also satisfy homeowners who would like to be able to enjoy their structure and this "extra room" even in the rain.
Indeed, a classic aluminum pergola is also waterproof thanks to its precision-machined materials and can also prevent rain from seeping in and spoiling the moment when it is fitted with a rigid roof covering (polycarbonate, plexiglass, sandwich panels, glass).
To go even further, the use of pergola accessories, available for a bioclimatic version or not, can perfectly insulate the structure, bringing it even closer to a new room or the idea of a conservatory when it is attached to the wall of the house. Quality is paramount on the terrace or any other location where the traditional pergola with a canopy or the bioclimatic louvered one is situated.

Accessories to add to make your pergola waterproof and rain-resistant
At CliKIT, the list is long and always meets your needs. The need for waterproofing for a pergola used throughout the year is definitely one of them!
By offering a suitable pergola heater, CliKIT provides the finishing touch once your pergola is completely closed off or sheltered from any bad weather. This is made very easily possible with the addition of canopies, awnings, blades and polycarbonate panels and other types of panels. The choice of these accessories and their quality is also an argument for protection against water and bad weather.
With such a wide range of possibilities, from canopies to other protective panels, keep in mind that pergolas are modern structures that know how to perfectly adapt to wet conditions and other weather surprises. The selection of options, the choice of a pergola or the gradual addition of certain accessories will allow you to create a space made and designed for you. Even when the raindrops start to fall…
