Choosing a pergola
Why only six models?
Our selection uses three sizes in two variants, reducing complexity and avoiding unnecessary configuration.
What sizes are planned?
Target sizes are 3 × 3, 3 × 4 and 4 × 6 m. Manufacturer drawings must confirm outside dimensions and clearance.
How do I calculate usable space?
Check clearances between posts, doors, passageways, furniture, drainage and usable height. External dimensions alone are insufficient.
Why no wooden pergolas?
We focus exclusively on metal structures to keep the range consistent. Exact alloys and finishes will be specified per manufacturer.
Must the pergola attach to the house?
That depends on the final structural configuration. Freestanding and wall-attached models have different requirements.
Can I choose another colour?
We intend to offer a small number of standard options. Confirmed colours will be announced when supplier models are selected.
Kit contents and assembly
What makes a kit complete?
We target frame, roof, assembly hardware and manufacturer instructions. The contractual parts list will be published before checkout.
Are foundations included?
Not unless explicitly listed. Soil works, concrete footings and specialised anchors depend on the specific site.
Can I assemble it myself?
Competent assembly may be possible with proper instructions, tools and lifting equipment. Some sites require professionals.
Is the structure snow-resistant?
Only model-specific, documented structural ratings can establish suitability for local snow and wind loads.
Are the louvres motorised?
Motorisation and controls will be confirmed for each supplier reference; they are not yet guaranteed.
How does rainwater drain?
Drainage, gutters and outlets depend on the selected manufacturer design and must be shown in the final product documents.
Solar pergolas
Are photovoltaic panels included?
The solar range is intended as an integrated system. Exact panels and the full included equipment list require supplier confirmation.
Do I have to buy panels separately?
No. Our concept is a complete engineered solar pergola, not a standard roof with improvised panel additions.
Are inverter and cables included?
They are part of the sourcing requirements. Exact inverter, wiring, protection and exclusions will be identified before sale.
How much electricity will it generate?
It depends on installed power, orientation, shading and location. No generation figure is guaranteed at this stage.
Can I connect the solar kit myself?
Regulated electrical installation and grid connection require appropriately authorised professionals in Switzerland.
Can I add a battery or charger?
Compatibility must be assessed technically; these are not part of the six standard kits unless specified.
Delivery, pricing and warranty
Can I buy online without a quote?
Yes, direct checkout is the intended experience, once supplier references, availability, price and delivery are confirmed.
Why are prices not shown yet?
We are verifying the exact supplier specification and logistics before opening payment, rather than displaying misleading prices.
Do you deliver across Switzerland?
Switzerland is our target market. Transport costs, access and unloading will be confirmed by address.
What are the delivery lead times?
Lead times will only be displayed after stock and carrier arrangements have been confirmed.
What warranty is provided?
The exact warranty and exclusions depend on the verified manufacturer model and will be provided before sale.
What if freight arrives damaged?
Document damage immediately, keep packaging and follow the carrier's reporting procedure while contacting the seller.
Swiss rules and maintenance
Do I need planning permission?
Rules differ by canton, commune and project. Check with the competent municipal authority before purchasing.
Can it stand on a property boundary?
Local setback and neighbour rules apply. A lightweight construction is not automatically exempt.
What maintenance is needed?
Follow the manufacturer instructions for cleaning, gutters, fasteners and moving elements; electrical work must be handled safely.
How heavy is the pergola?
Weight varies with the actual structure, size and equipment; shipment weights will be confirmed per model.
Do the illustrations depict the exact product?
No. Current visuals are conceptual and non-contractual; verified manufacturer images will replace them before checkout opens.
