Modern Pergola Designs Inspired By The Classic Structures

Back when we focused on patio pergolas we reviewed the basic elements featured by a pergola as well as numerous designs, most of which followed the traditional guidelines and elements. Today we continue on the same idea but with a modern twist. So let’s take a look at a few modern pergolas and see what new elements they include as well as what they borrowed from the classic designs.

Simple and versatile, this pergola from BT Group has an aluminum frame with clean lines and sharp angles, following a basic rectangular form. The breezy white curtains and roof offer it an attractive look.

HAT is like a modern version of the traditional bamboo furniture pieces. It has a frame built of rounded aluminum poles which, in a way, look like large bamboo sticks. It can be used as a freestanding structure or it can be fastened to walls and existing structures. The sliding curtain can be folded and closed and all the curtains can be operated either manually or via a remote control.

Helyos-pergola

The Helyos pergola has aluminum slats which are adjustable up to 120 degrees. This feature allows the user to adjust the brighteners and the ventilation to make the pergola as efficient as possible, depending on the time of the day, weather conditions, etc.

The Upper Wood pergola has a really simple and sleek design. As the name suggests, it has a wooden frame. In addition to this, the pergola also has an aluminum track for the sliding cover. This mechanism helps simplify the whole design.

The Ghost version of the Sintesi Pergola is also the type of pergola which can be attached to existing structures. It features a series of fabric panels which can be rolled and unrolled independently while the aluminum frames make it easy to install all the components.

sintesi-shade-pergola

Also part of the Sintesi collection, this design features a sliding cover but, compared to the other versions, the overall look is a bit more casual. The shade is operated horizontally and its purpose is exclusively to provide protection from the sun. That means this particular model is not efficient against the rain.
