Shade, privacy and fresh air — all in one structure.

Most pergolas give you shade or shelter. This one gives you both, plus the flexibility to dial in exactly how much of each you want. The Outsunny 3 x 4m Pergola combines a retractable UPF30+ canopy with adjustable roll-up sidewalls — open everything up on a bright morning, pull the sides down for a private afternoon, or close the canopy when a shower arrives. It's a genuinely versatile outdoor space that works across the seasons.

The powder-coated metal frame installs either freestanding or fixed to a wall for added stability — a useful option if you want to position it against the house. Aluminium sliding rails keep the canopy moving smoothly, and the 180gsm PA-coated fabric is UPF30+ rated and built to handle the kind of mixed weather a UK garden delivers. Wind-rated to Level 5–6 with expansion screws, it's a solid, well-anchored structure rather than a seasonal pop-up.

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 220cm. Always verify with your local authority if you live in a listed building, conservation area or leasehold property.

Can this be used as both freestanding and wall-mounted?
Yes — this is one of the key advantages of this model. Use it freestanding anywhere in the garden, or fix it against a house or garden wall for added stability. No permanent wall fixings are required for the freestanding configuration.

How do the roll-up sides work?
The sidewalls roll up and tie in place using the attached cords, giving you full control over privacy and airflow. They can be raised fully for an open feel, partially lowered for wind protection, or fully closed for privacy. Each side operates independently.

Is the snow load rating suitable for UK winters?
The snow load rating of 5 kg/m² is relatively modest. During periods of heavy snowfall, clear snow from the canopy promptly to prevent excess weight build-up. For areas that regularly experience heavy snow, consider a pergola with a higher snow load rating.

How long does assembly take?
Most customers complete assembly in 2–3 hours with two people. The aluminium sliding rails and canopy attach after the main frame is built. Full step-by-step instructions are included in the box.
