Freestanding Pergola: Close to house/building

Often, customers wish to install freestanding louvre roof pergola close to the house providing an natural extension of their house. Couple of things to keep in mind:

Louvre Opening Clearance: Louvre Roof Pergola requires 100mm clearance above the pergola height for the louvre blades to open. For that reason, this needs to be taken into account while calculating overall height especially if you are planning to install the pergola under an eave/gutter etc.
If installing under eave is not possible due to height restrictions then other option is to install the louvre roof pergola inline with the eave/gutter.

Semi-attached Pergola Design

Semi-attached design allows you to attach one or two sides of the pergola, patio roof to building structures with other side supported by one or more posts.

Attaching Pergola beam to building

Semi-attached Pergola: Fixing to Fascia

Often with existing houses, for various reason especially ideal height, it is desirable to attach the pergola to the fascia. Generally, metal fascia are not structural in nature so the pergola must be connected to the roof rafters.

For this purpose, common fascia brackets available from retail hardware store like Bunnings or Demak can be utilised. Additional strengthening of rafters may be required for this purpose. We recommend consulting a structural engineer for suitable recommendation & fixing schedule.

Semi-attached Pergola: Fixing to Roof (Fly over Design)

Sometimes height of house might warrant , attach the louvre roof into the roof (Fly over Design).

For this purpose, roof brackets like extenda brackets connect to wall top plate and rafter (timber frame structure behind building façade). We recommend consulting a Structural Engineer for fixing schedule.

It is best to access the roof to determine the exact location of the wall top plate for exact measurements.

Roof Only Louvre Roof Pergola Design

Building structure like alfresco, patio roof can have opening roof by installing roof only louvre roofs. This allows greater flexibility on realising your pergola, patio roof ideas.

Louvre Blades still sit inside the louvre pergola beams on all four sides which also incorporates integrated gutter on the inside on all four sides. No posts are provided for this design.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We recently purchased a "Noosa" louvered roof pergola.  We installed the large 6m x 4m pergola over much of a day with the help of some friends and we were all very impressed with the design and overall quality and appearance of the pergola.  It is very attractive and robust - well designed and engineered - and is a great new feature for entertaining in our back yard.  We found the process from ordering to installing quite easy, the documentation was very good and relatively easy to follow.  We were also very happy with the customer support from sale to post-installation - we found Anil very knowledgeable, professional and an all-round pleasure to deal with.  We would definitely recommend Modern Roofs to our friends and family for any pergola requirements

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Our open balcony area was good, but open to the elements & restricted its use.
Now we have a Modern Roof, it’s like an extra room to the house. We can’t say enough about Anil & his team at Modern roofs. The drawings, instruction, quality of product are all high quality. He answered all questions swiftly & professionally
Looking forward to the hot summer on our cool Modern roofed balcony

Our goal was shade and privacy and we've achieved both in a stylish, contemporary way that complements our home beautifully - neighbors have also commented on what a nice feature for our home it is. Compared to the alternatives available Modern Roofs offer a product that is great value for money.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We chose to use modern roofs after chatting with Anil regarding our needs for a motorised pool cabana with louvre roof. His knowledge was excellent, and after we confirmed our requirements we were sent a shop drawing of our own, custom pool cabana confirming size and orientation of the louvres. You need to allow time to have the unit built and shipped, and someone to assemble it, but we were very impressed with the quality.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Anil and his team went to great lengths to ensure that the pergola was designed, engineered and installed. Anil worked with a local structural engineer to ensure our specific needs were met, and ensure compliance. He kept us informed through the entire process and coordinated installation through a local installer.  A1 service and a quality product. We could not be happier with the result. Tim and Danielle.
