Discover the aluminum shading system with retractable shade
Quickly and quietly, the fabric roof slides back, revealing blue skies while letting in the sun's rays and a gentle breeze. The sliding waterproof cover on our Gennius aluminum pergolas with retractable roof open in seconds to leave only a lightweight aluminum structure visible. As the retractable roof requires only a narrow frame to support it, it is the ideal solution in situations where elegant design is a key element in a project's success.
The collection
Louvered roofs and retractable fabric covers that turn an open patio into a room with a view.
Despite their lightweight construction, wooden or aluminum pergolas with retractable roof still offer the maximum resistance to wind and rain. The cloth is tensioned with gas pistons that firmly anchor it to the framework structure while leaving no visible beams or support elements. This creates a streamlined and minimalist aesthetic.
