Step 1: Have you defined a specific surface?
If you need a pergola that adapts perfectly to your existing environment, tailor-made is what you need. Is your terrace already built? Does it have several depths? Do you want to define the dining and relaxation areas?
Aesthetically, it is essential that you have a structure that fits your outdoor space. In order for the result to be harmonious, every detail must be taken into consideration.
Stairs make it difficult to install a pole? A bunch of flowers you care about make it tricky to install the delicate structure at the end of your terrace? A tree close to your house can complicate the laying of a flat roof for the bioclimatic pergola?
Here again, tailor-made solutions are limitless. Each of your constraints is taken into account in the construction of the pergola, and the installation will thus be carried millimetrically!
Step 2: Have you chosen a specific color?
If you have a very specific color in mind, be careful, because not all market players will be able to meet your requirements. Often, a few standard Colors are offered, such as anthracite grey and white.
But if you want bright colors that will enable the summer under the pergola, or colors that match your shutters, your façade or your garden furniture, it will be necessary to move towards high-end bioclimatic pergolas. If you have an architect’s house and you want to harmonize the colors of your pergola with the modern style of your home, you should definitely go for tailor-made pergolas.
You can then choose the color of the:
-
Poles that hold the structure
-
Sleepers
-
Structure that holds the flat roof
-
Decorative claustras
-
Blinds around your pergola
Even better, custom-made pergolas allow you to mix the colors and thus choose to paint the structure with one color and the sleepers with another color, for example.
The secret is to turn to a company that offers customised lacquering. Solembra, for example, offers over 400 colors for powder coating each component of your pergola, so that you get a final product that precisely meets your expectations. Harmony, aesthetics and elegance are the order of the day!
Step 3: Do you have a particular design in mind?
Bioclimatic pergolas are products that should enhance and add value to your outdoor spaces. In order to find out what kind of pergola is right for you, be sure to define the design details that matter the most to you.
Staggered poles
You have a large glass window and would like the posts of your pergola to be offset to the sides, so it doesn't obstruct your view? Do you want to add a modern touch and give the impression of a cantilevered roof by avoiding placing the posts in the corners? Thanks to custom-made pergolas, you can give free rein to your desires, and offset them along the length and width.
Remove the poles
To open the view and clear out your space, you can opt for a pergola without poles. The rigging techniques give you the possibility to use your façade to hold your structure.

The arches and the "flanks"
Would you like your pergola to have a truly unique design? Choose the arches or the "ears", which embellish the structure by providing a play of light and shadow. For a modern and architectural look that stands out from the crowd, this is a must!
Decorative claustras or openwork walls
Openwork screens add a trendy touch to your structure. You can color them and give them any shape you like, to make your pergola truly unique!
Different depths
Want to divide your outdoor space into several distinct areas? Choose a bioclimatic pergola with multiple depths. On one side, it protects your balcony from the sun, and on the other, it shelters your terrace, forming a cocoon for your meals with family or friends!
