Spa Pergola: How to Create the Ideal Relaxation Space?
Moments of relaxation in a spa or jacuzzi are special times. To enhance the pleasure and possibilities for relaxation, installing a pergola as a shelter over this lively water feature is an obvious choice for enjoying it all year round. Sun, rain, wind, summer or winter? The lean-to or freestanding pergola is the perfect companion for your spa. Before you dive in, let this article dedicated to this star duo — the spa and the pergola — guide you.
Why install a pergola around your spa?
Beyond the presence of a spa or jacuzzi, there are so many reasons to take the plunge and install a pergola at home. Conversely, it is also entirely conceivable to add a spa once the aluminium pergola is installed, but as always with this shelter, the possibilities remain extremely numerous before or after installation.

Nothing is set in stone, and that is precisely what makes the charm of this installation which, as a reminder, can be lean-to against the house wall or freestanding on a terrace. For example, right where your spa already is!
Installing a pergola for your spa or jacuzzi means even more advantages and the assurance of enjoying this water feature at any time of year if you wish. The pergola is in itself an obvious asset for making the most of a space between indoors and outdoors for most of the year, and by adding a jacuzzi, winter or night-time swims thanks to pergola lighting can become a reality.
Whether you own an inflatable spa, a rigid spa, a large spa or a jacuzzi for two, the idea is the same: you can enjoy these whirlpool baths whenever you like, while still preserving the overall appeal of a pergola. All that remains is to choose the right model to suit your desires, whether from your spa or in an armchair under shelter.
How to choose the perfect pergola for your spa?
Ultimately, it is not really necessary to spend too much time proving the advantage of having a pergola above a spa or near a pool, as it is self-evident. On this subject, the trickiest part may well be related to the choice of pergola itself, with several models and several ranges that can perfectly suit an installation as a shelter for a jacuzzi.
Pool owners know the same thing when it comes to outdoor landscaping, and once again, the custom-made, kit pergolas offered by CliKIT will be a great help in adapting to an already-placed jacuzzi or finalizing an outdoor design project.
The most obvious choice for placing a shelter above your spa is the bioclimatic pergola. Thanks to its adjustable louvres on the roof, this aluminium shelter adapts to all seasons. Enjoying it year-round is very simple, and spa access naturally fits into this versatility.
You will find all prices within our range, always with a custom creation to build a dream space and enjoy your outdoor area and its jacuzzi without the slightest compromise.

The classic aluminium pergola is also custom-made and in kit form. It does not have adjustable louvres, but as with every pergola, the pergola accessories can allow you to create a semi or fully protected space. Adding pergola side panels or other elements offers you unique customisation, always keeping in mind the assurance of enjoying your spa all year long, regardless of the conditions encountered.
How to arrange the space under your spa pergola?
The planning and reflection stage should take place at the same time as the search for a pergola. It is necessary to anticipate and envision your future outdoor layout so that this space combining pergola and spa becomes without question your favourite spot at home. Small or large spaces alike can find the right balance between practicality and charm, with the positioning of the jacuzzi making all the difference and determining the future overall use of your pergola.

In our view, the jacuzzi can be placed in a corner to leave free space for other relaxation areas. The spa can be positioned in the sunniest corner of the pergola, or alternatively, in the one best sheltered from wind and draughts.
At one end, a relaxation corner with sun loungers or comfortable armchairs, complemented by tree-like vegetation, can serve as the perfect transition before or after a dip in the bubbling water. You will also need to plan for a table to share enjoyable moments with family or friends, sometimes extended thanks to the accessories available for CliKIT pergolas, synonymous with versatility for a use designed for everyone. For every desire, there is a solution!
What are the tips for maintaining your spa pergola?
The first positive point of having a jacuzzi or spa under your pergola? Less need to remove leaves and other debris that can get into the filters and on the water's surface. Depending on how much protection the pergola provides, the pool net may need to come out far less often!
We leave that part to the professionals and focus on maintaining the pergola so that this perfect place endures over time. Aluminium shines in this regard and, to top it all off, requires very little maintenance.
Once per season or twice a year, maintaining your pergola should happen naturally and without much difficulty. For cleaning your pergola, use natural, non-detergent products, along with cloths and other non-abrasive cleaning pads. A little elbow grease, a rinse with clean water, and your pergola is ready to enhance your spa for many years to come.
This long lifespan makes the choice of model even more crucial! With a clearly modern look and timeless charm, the spa pergola is built to last.

How to optimise the use of your spa pergola throughout the year?
Far more versatile than a simple jacuzzi shelter, the pergola is packed with qualities and its versatility probably makes it the absolute benchmark among all available outdoor structures. Optimising its use also comes through adding all kinds of accessories, and in order to enjoy your spa and this space all year round if you wish, the solutions for enclosing your pergola are an obvious choice.

It is also possible to attach a cover to your pergola to block light draughts or play with shade when the sun beats down hard in summer. Dressing your pergola is a real art, but bear in mind that solutions are plentiful for this little dream corner…
