Custom-made pergola cover

Recognized for its versatility, the pergola protects you from bad weather or sunlight thanks to an accessory that may seem as simple as a plain canopy. A panel or cover for a pergola makes your terrace even more pleasant, and thanks to all-weather resistance and UV treatment, the CliKIT custom-made pergola cover adapts to your needs, desires and installation.

Why choose a custom-made cover for your pergola?

Between the imagined desire and the ideal solution, many constraints often lie hidden. Among them, the dimensions of a rigid or non-rigid cover, which can undermine the aesthetics of the pergola and, above all, the primary purpose of this protection. Buying a removable cover with dimensions larger than the pergola panel remains an option, but over time, taking out, setting up and closing that side of the structure will become chores you will want to avoid at all costs.

The pergola remains an outdoor feature with many advantages, including the versatility for which it is constantly praised. Depriving yourself of these potential additions and gradually becoming frustrated with a cumbersome installation should push you towards the custom-made cover solution, in line with all CliKIT products for pergolas and other outdoor structures such as verandas or carports.

The pergola can be used throughout the year and in all conditions thanks to the accessories and additions designed for this purpose. The custom-made pergola cover is one of them and its operation, simple, effective and discreet, offers a perfect integration on an already custom-designed pergola.

It can be adapted to many existing models, and custom manufacturing will allow every owner to benefit from a structure protected from the sun or bad weather.

True to its reputation, CliKIT does not only offer the choice of exact dimensions for the pergola cover. With angled shapes, adaptation to the slope of your terrace for an exemplary cut, or models and options designed as much for harmony as for practicality, the custom-made pergola cover is definitely tailored to your project.

The benefits of a cover for your pergola

An obvious alternative to blinds or fixed panels, the pergola cover is versatile, both for adding a little more privacy within the pergola and for protection against bad weather such as rain.

With its rolling system, the custom-made pergola cover has the advantage of adapting to all structures. Whether it is an aluminium pergola, a bioclimatic pergola, a wooden pergola or even a loggia, all can benefit from this flexible panel, far less constraining than a fixed panel.

The zip fasteners provide an optimal finish and a tarp tensioned exactly as desired, without the constraints of opening or closing interfering with your evening. It only takes a few minutes to optimize your experience within the pergola.

With a custom-made pergola cover, you benefit from a waterproof product made in France of very high quality. Even better, options are plentiful and the customization of this product allows you once again to tailor your pergola to your most precise desires.

Take your measurements for the perfect cover

A width, a height at the highest point of the panel of the structure that will accommodate this addition, and you are all set to provide the dimensions of the perfect cover to be manufactured shortly.

The cover kit is very easy to install and if you have any doubts about the exact spots where to place the measuring tool for tunnel-style installation, CliKIT advisors will be happy to guide you to ensure a perfect future setup.

Beyond 4000 mm in width, the cover kit automatically switches to a profile of two covers separated by an intermediate post to ensure the support and tension of this protection.

Do not hesitate to make a diagram or take photos to send us all the useful information. This will allow us to customize your cover optimally and ensure a result perfectly suited to your installation.

With several colors, translucent versions, angled, styled or other designs, as well as several types of installation possible, there is no doubt that this pergola cover will adapt to your strongest desire. With all the options mentioned and a customization that goes beyond the great benefit of a custom-made installation, several products could end up winning you over. The custom-made CLOSEO cover, in opaque or translucent version, remains one of the trusted choices for pergola owners.

Nevertheless, the choice can also fall on manual or motorized awnings with equally significant advantages and a remarkable aesthetic finish. Once the product choice is confirmed, it will be time to move on to configuration and, of course, to provide the product dimensions for a custom-made integration into your pergola.

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, when needed, of CliKIT specialists.

Simple installation and fixing

This is one of CliKIT's key strengths and always an explanation for the reasonable cost of the brand's products. The custom-made pergola cover follows this logic and benefits from a relatively simple installation, both for fixing and for storage during each use.

The result is perfect and the assembly is carried out on bead profiles and at ground level, using a tension bar that will tension and ensure optimal use of this cover. Rigidity is consistently present, and screwing onto the pergola structure frees you from any concern about the robustness of this highly resistant and elegant cover.

Delivery, warranty and customer service

CliKIT's after-sales service has proven itself through constant follow-up and support, justifying the desire of many owners to personalize their pergola experience. Configuring a custom-made cover falls within this scope, and although production lead times may be extended depending on dimensions or requests, we maintain our standards.

Delivery is free in most cases, and the two-year warranty reassures the few owners who might still be hesitating.

Finally, the customer service team readily demonstrates its expertise and provides support from the moment the cover is delivered. With tutorials or advice via video call or phone from our specialists, you are never alone when facing a question or a problem.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a cover and a canopy for a pergola?

The principle is broadly the same, but a pergola canopy fits into rails and can therefore be motorized for opening or closing. Another difference lies in the material used and the opacity, which can vary depending on the product or range. The cover is designed to be thicker and its construction provides unmatched protection against bad weather.

What materials should I choose for a pergola canopy?

The market offers several materials for a pergola canopy, but the most popular remain those based on PVC. They are full of advantages since their durability is well established, both against water and UV rays. In addition, their maintenance remains very accessible and simple, increasing the longevity of the product to the great delight of its owners.

How do I take the right measurements for my canopy?

In order to correctly measure the pergola panel that will accommodate the canopy or cover, we only need the width (between the center of the two uprights) and the height (between the ground and the upright). In the case of a slope on your terrace, indicating the angle will allow for an even more optimized result.

Is the canopy resistant to wind and rain?

Designed to perfectly adapt to the constraints already anticipated by pergolas, canopies and covers stand up to wind and heavy rain. They should be folded or closed during severe weather episodes, but during relatively calm rain or wind events, there is no risk with the pergola cover.

Can I install my canopy myself?

The installation of the pergola canopy (or cover) is designed to be carried out by the owner themselves. The very simple system is optimized for this purpose, which also helps reduce the total cost of the purchase.
