Illuminated Retractable Pergola
Ferrini retractable pergolas allow extended outdoor use regardless of rain, wind or strong sun. Integrated LED lighting sets the ambience, while the retractable mechanism lets you control the covered area quickly and easily.
An illuminated retractable pergola gathers its fabric roof like an accordion: open it gives a sheltered area against sun and rain, closed it opens the sky again. LED lighting recessed into the frame makes the space usable after dark. The motorised mechanism runs from a remote and can be set to retract automatically on wind and rain sensors.
If you want an enclosed volume that can be heated all year, the glass pergola with its fixed glass roof is the choice; the comparison of the two systems is on the winter garden comparison page.
Illuminated Retractable Pergola
Ferrini retractable pergolas allow extended outdoor use regardless of rain, wind or strong sun. Integrated LED lighting sets the ambience, while the retractable mechanism lets you control the covered area quickly and easily.
Our motorised louvred roof pergola systems offer three climate modes - fully closed, ventilation and fully open - with profiles tested against snow and rain load for year-round reliability. With synchronised panel movement and LED ambience lighting options, we supply aluminium winter garden and bioclimatic pergola solutions for gardens, terraces, hotels, restaurants and cafes.
Structure and materials
The cover of a folding pergola with lighting gathers like a concertina: closed it gives shade and rain cover, open it lets the sky through. LED lighting recessed into the structural profile is standard, so no separate fitting is needed for evening use.
Manufactured with T6-temper profiles and Qualicoat-certified paint, the system's stainless steel accessories resist corrosion for years. Open, half-open and closed positions are reached by remote control, and wind and rain sensors gather the cover by themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bioclimatic pergola?
A bioclimatic pergola is a pergola type with an aluminium louvred roof system whose louvres can be opened and closed via motor and remote control.
Can a bioclimatic pergola be used all year round?
Yes, the motorised opening roof structure provides rain and sun control, allowing bioclimatic pergolas to be used outdoors in all four seasons.
What is the difference between a winter garden and a bioclimatic pergola?
A winter garden creates a more enclosed living space with a high-insulation aluminium profile and insulated glass roof, while a bioclimatic pergola is a semi-open outdoor solution with a louvred, opening-closing roof.
Can the fabric cover be used in rain?
Extended, it protects against rain; it can be set up to retract by itself at a threshold defined by the wind and rain sensors. Where heavy snow load has to be carried, the glass pergola with its fixed glass roof is used.
How the two behave in rain and snow is compared in the winter garden comparison.
Is the LED lighting standard?
Yes; LED lighting recessed into the frame profiles is standard and makes evening use possible. The motorised mechanism runs from a remote control.
