Outsunny 3×4 m Aluminium Pergola with Retractable Canopy

The Outsunny 3×4 m delivers the aluminium pergola experience at a fraction of the louvred models' price. The retractable polyester canopy slides along rails to give you full sun or full shade in seconds — a simpler mechanism than louvres but perfectly effective. The powder-coated frame is sturdy enough for normal British weather, though you will want to retract the canopy in a proper storm. At under £400 it is exceptional value for a 12 m² covered area. Assembly is straightforward with two people in about 2–3 hours. The main compromise is that the fabric canopy is not fully waterproof — it handles a light shower but not sustained rain.
