Frequently asked questions
Can I control it from my phone?
Yes — motorised remote is standard on Sheffield installs, phone-app control is a small upgrade, and sensors handle wind and rain autonomously.
Is a louvred pergola actually waterproof when closed in Sheffield?
Yes — the closed blade profile interlocks and channels water through the posts into your existing drainage. wind funneling off the Peak edge — glass roofs here are specified for higher wind loads than city-centre installs, so the rain sensor triggering matters as much as the seal.
Do I need planning for a louvred pergola in Sheffield?
Typically no — under permitted development limits, a free-standing louvred pergola behaves like any garden structure. Sheffield City Council / Rotherham MBC / Barnsley MBC / Doncaster MBC handles conservation-zone applications; we produce the drawings.
How does it handle South Yorkshire snow?
Louvres are set to open a few degrees during snow so weight can't accumulate on a sealed roof. The sensor package includes a snow-load routine as standard.
Do you cover Chesterfield?
Yes — Chesterfield is 12 miles from Sheffield and installs on the same weekly run.
