How to choose a wall-mounted pergola for your terrace
When the weather is nice, it is a great pleasure to have a terrace. Wouldn't it be ideal if you could spend every season in your outdoor space? Create a second living room where you can create memories by properly furnishing your terrace with a wall-mounted pergola. Read this short guide!
What is a wall-mounted pergola?
To be clear, a wall-mounted pergola, as the name suggests, is a structure that is anchored directly to a wall of the house. Unlike a freestanding pergola, which is independent and supported by its own pillars, the wall-mounted version becomes an extension of the home. It also improves thermal insulation while maximising efficiency, particularly when facing south.
The pergola wall anchorage system is also customisable: either direct anchoring or brackets can be used, which help distribute the weight when the wall has external thermal insulation.
Wall-mounted pergotenda or wall-mounted bioclimatic pergolas?
When it comes to wall-mounted pergolas, the natural question is which type to choose for your terrace. The most common question relates to the difference between a wall-mounted pergotenda and a wall-mounted bioclimatic pergola.
Wall-mounted pergotenda structures are among the most popular solutions. They feature a fabric cover that can be extended or retracted as needed. This enables you to optimise the space depending on the weather. Moreover, the wide range of available colours allows you to enhance your setting, creating the perfect balance between the indoor and outdoor areas.
On the other hand, the hallmark of bioclimatic pergolas, in addition to their modern and striking design, is the ability to adjust the rotation of the cover blades. This mechanism allows you to control the amount of light that enters the area underneath, thereby improving protection and allowing you to enjoy the outdoors all year round.
Lighting your wall-mounted pergola
Why limit your terrace time to daylight hours? With customisable lighting options available on Corradi’s website, your wall-mounted pergola can be enjoyed even after sunset. You can choose to install LED strips along the perimeter of the bioclimatic pergola, or a light kit on the Pergotenda® canvas tubular profiles. This will create the exact atmosphere you desire.
With these solutions, you’ll be ready to welcome friends and family for an evening aperitif on your covered terrace, creating the perfect atmosphere!
