49 Modern pergolas – stylish and functional sun protection for terraces

The terrace is a special place where you can enjoy nature and the fresh air in the garden. In the summer heat, the outdoor area can become uncomfortably warm, which is why sun protection is essential. If you are looking for a permanent solution and don't want to buy a simple parasol, then consider having a modern pergola installed. Modern pergolas can not only adapt perfectly to the surroundings, but also give the terrace a distinctive style. Another plus point are the innovative roof systems and additional functions that ensure the comfort of the residents. Today we'll show you a few excellent examples that combine design and technology to protect your cozy outdoor living space from the elements.

Modern pergolas are best suited for large patios where traditional sun protection systems are not sufficient. They can either be free-standing or attached to the house facade. A pergola with a folding roof or with adjustable roof slats is very practical. With these flexible roof systems, depending on the position of the sun, you can open and close the awning or rotate the roof slats to achieve the ideal incidence of light and ventilation. On some models, the slats can also be controlled via remote control.

With a high-quality patio cover, you can turn your patio into a pleasant outdoor space all year round. Some structures are designed to provide protection not only from the sun, but also from rain, snow and wind and can be used in any weather. The water drainage channels are integrated into the scaffolding and the rainwater is drained away via the supports. This drainage also works when the slats are opened, so that the patio furniture is well protected.

They are made from different materials and are available in many color variations. A white aluminum pergola looks extremely modern. The models with integrated lighting are absolute eye-catchers in the evening. Check out these modern escape oases and see for yourself!
