If you want to turn your outdoor areas into functional and aesthetic spaces, pergola systems are among the top modern solutions. However, the variety of pergola types — especially classic (fixed), automatic, and bioclimatic systems — can create confusion during the decision process. In this article, we clearly explain the differences, advantages, and suitable areas of use for each pergola type to help you make the best decision with Homrend.az.
Classic (fixed) pergolas are traditional shade structures, commonly used in gardens and smaller terraces. These systems are manually operated and feature fixed frames, often covered with canvas or polycarbonate sheets.
Key Features:
Manual opening and closing
Fixed structure, non-movable
Basic protection from sun and rain
Limited accessory integration
Most affordable among the three options
Who is it for? Those looking for simple shade without advanced functionality or automation.
Automatic pergolas are systems with motorized membrane covers that can fully open or close with the press of a button. Their design includes a slope for water drainage, keeping your space dry during rain.
Key Features:
Motorized automatic operation
100% waterproof membrane roof
Option to add LED lighting and sensors
Sleek and modern design
Remote control and smart integrations available
Ideal For: Restaurant terraces, modern villas, office rest areas, and commercial open spaces
Who is it for? Users who want both functionality and a stylish look with easy operation.
The bioclimatic pergola is the most advanced system among the three. It features rotating aluminum louvers (from 0° to 135°) that allow the user to control sunlight and airflow. Equipped with smart sensors, this system offers full automation.
Key Features:
Adjustable louvers for shade and ventilation
High wind and rain resistance
Optional lighting, heating, and automation
Climate control with smart sensors
Energy efficient and modern design
Ideal For: Luxury villas, high-end restaurants, penthouses, and all-season terraces
Who is it for? Those looking for a fully usable, four-season outdoor space with maximum control and comfort.
