Better Weather Protection
A pergola is a great way to create a more comfortable and shady outdoor space for you or your clients to enjoy. It’s essentially an overhead structure supported by pillars that creates the feel of a secluded hideaway right in your backyard.
But if you want to take your patio’s shade game up a notch, consider installing a motorized sun shade pergola. These pergolas feature adjustable louvers that can be controlled by a remote control, smartphone app, or voice-enabled system. This allows you to adjust the slats depending on how much light or sun you want, and even integrate weather sensors so that your pergola will shut down when it’s raining.
For this project, the homeowners wanted a smart pergola that would match the home’s colonial style and provide complete patio sun protection. To achieve this, the design team installed six customized zones with Azenco R-Blade motorized adjustable louvered roofs. This allowed them to open the pergola roof over only a portion of the massive patio, allowing for partial sunlight and full shade over their outdoor kitchen and dining area.
Quality motorized sun shades for pergolas are made from solution-dyed acrylic fabrics such as Para (Italy), Dickson (France), and Sunbrella (USA and China). They’re water resistant and help to keep your patio cool by reducing heat, glare, and UV radiation.

They come in a variety of colors and styles that complement Trex decking or Motorized Sun Shade Pergola For Patio paver patio looks and can be operated with the push of a button.
For this patio sun protection project, the Gary Duff Designs team incorporated Azenco’s R-Blade motorized adjustable louvered roof into six customized, interconnected pergola zones. The ability to adjust each zone independently ensured that this massive patio received ample natural light, even when the homeowners wanted to keep the area covered with shade.
By orienting the louvers in this pergola sun shade toward the home’s roofline, the designers ensured that this system blended perfectly with the existing colonial architecture. Additionally, they positioned the gutter systems so that the captured rainwater could be dispersed into the landscaping without affecting the structure of the pergola or creating pooling water underneath the roof.
Depending on the specific needs of your property, you can also add side curtains and privacy panels in a coordinating fabric to your pergola canopy. This will further protect the interiors of your home from the harsh sunlight and help your outdoor spaces feel more like an extension of your living room. The best part is, these additions can be added to any existing pergola.
More Durable
Unlike traditional pergola structures that use wooden beams and columns, motorized pergolas are made from durable materials that can withstand a lot of sun. Many offer a vinyl or aluminum solution, which means they don’t require the periodic re-staining that comes with wood. Additionally, these products feature a louvered roof that can be controlled remotely and allows you to customize the amount of sunlight you’re exposed to.
These outdoor shading solutions are ideal for home owners who want to create a relaxing oasis for themselves and their guests. They also provide a great addition to commercial spaces, such as restaurants, bars, and resorts. They can help boost the capacity of seating areas, draw attention to a business, and protect people from harsh weather conditions like relentless sunshine and heavy rain.
