Whether you're creating a shaded spot for lazy weekend lunches and BBQs or an outdoor room for entertaining, covering your pergola is what turns it from a fair-weather feature into a space you'll actually use in any weather, especially if you live here in the UK with its temperamental heatwaves and frequent showers.
The right roof or canopy can provide welcome shade during a heatwave, shelter from summer showers and even help you stay cosy on cool evenings. So if you're wondering how to weatherproof a pergola, there are plenty of stylish options to choose from. From clever pergola roof ideas to retractable canopies, side screens and permanent roof panels, the right solution for you depends on how you want to use your pergola and garden.
