Shelter, shade and fresh air — all year, not just in summer.
Most garden structures make you choose between sun and shelter. The Outsunny 3 x 3m Louvered Pergola with Polycarbonate Panels gives you both — and the control to switch between them in seconds. Angle the split louvres to catch the morning light on one side while shading the other, then close the polycarbonate panels when the weather turns. It's the kind of outdoor space that gets used in April as much as August.
The split adjustable roof is what sets this pergola apart. Each side adjusts independently, so you can fine-tune light and shade across the full 3 x 3m footprint rather than making a single all-or-nothing choice. The polycarbonate panels block strong sun, rain and snow — keeping the space genuinely usable in conditions that would send most garden furniture indoors. Built from an all-aluminium frame with 90mm columns, wind-rated to Level 6–7 and tested to a snow load of 35 kg/m², this is a structure built for the British climate, not just the British summer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this pergola need planning permission in the UK?
In most cases, no. A freestanding pergola under 2.5m in height within your garden typically falls under permitted development rights. This model stands at 230cm — always verify with your local authority, particularly if you live in a listed building, conservation area or leasehold property.
What is the difference between louvres and polycarbonate panels on this pergola?
The louvres are adjustable slats that let you control airflow and the angle of sunlight. The polycarbonate panels are solid, transparent sections that block rain and snow while still letting light through. Together they give you full weather protection without making the space feel dark or enclosed.
Can I use this pergola in winter?
Yes. With a snow load rating of 35 kg/m² and wind resistance to Level 6–7, this pergola is built for year-round use. Set the louvres upright during heavy snow or strong winds to reduce load on the roof, and clear any significant snow accumulation promptly.
How long does assembly take?
Most customers complete assembly in 3–4 hours with two people. Full step-by-step instructions are included in the box.
What size furniture fits underneath?
The approximately 3 x 3m footprint comfortably fits a 6-seater dining set or a modular lounge arrangement. Allow at least 30cm clearance from each column for comfortable movement around the space.
Does this pergola have lighting?
This model does not include built-in lighting. If you'd like integrated LED lights, take a look at our other pergola models in the range which include remote-controlled LED tube lighting as standard.
