Bradford's Specialist for Pergolas with Zip-Track Side Screens
The reason to spec screens on any or all sides — rather than just one — is that Bradford wind changes direction seasonally. Two-side screens on the prevailing side handle 80% of the year; three-side enclosure handles the rest.

Bradford plots — what the survey usually finds
hillside plots catch the wind off Ilkley Moor; specifying a reinforced front beam is standard practice at height. The screened pergola we build for Bradford accounts for this in the frame section, the roof pitch, and the drainage detail.

Frequently asked questions
Do the screens make it feel enclosed?
Mesh reduces wind and light while preserving visibility. Clear PVC gives a fully enclosed feel. Screens can be raised individually so use varies by weather.
How long does install take?
Two days for a typical Bradford screened pergola, longer if all four sides screened.
Do you cover Ilkley?
Yes — Ilkley is 12 miles from Bradford and runs on the same schedule.
Can I add heaters?
Yes — IR heater bars under the beam make a screened pergola work in West Yorkshire winter.
What screen material works best?
Zip-track mesh for wind reduction with visibility; clear PVC for full weather cover with view preservation. Most Bradford customers pick mesh on the prevailing side, clear on the other.
