## What is a tensioned fabric pergola?

A tensioned fabric pergola is an aluminium frame with a taut technical fabric that does not sag, flap in the wind or collect water. Depending on the model, the fabric is fixed or gathers along rails. It gives wide, light shade over terraces, gardens and pools from Valencia to Murcia, with final sizes set at the site visit.

## Questions about tensioned fabric pergolas

### How much does a tensioned fabric pergola cost?

It depends on the size, the model, the type of fabric and whether it retracts by hand or by motor. We do not publish prices: we prepare the quote after seeing and measuring the space.

### What is tensioned fabric?

It is a technical fabric fitted taut over a frame so it stays smooth and does not sag. That way it handles wind better, sheds water and lasts longer than loose fabric.

### How is a tensioned fabric pergola installed?

The space is measured, the aluminium frame is fixed to the facade or the ground, and the fabric is fitted to the profiles and tensioned until smooth. (to be confirmed)

### How does the fabric stay tight?

The tension comes from the frame’s profiles and tensioners, which pull the fabric in every direction. Over time it may need retensioning. (to be confirmed)

### Which type of fabric is best?

PVC fabric is waterproof and keeps out rain, acrylic breathes and gives cooler shade, and microperforated fabric lets air through. The best one depends on whether you want shade, rain protection or airflow. (to be confirmed)

### Fabric pergola or bioclimatic pergola?

A fabric pergola is lighter and gives wide, even shade. A bioclimatic pergola lets you adjust the shade with aluminium louvres and keeps out rain better. It depends on how much control you want and how you use the terrace.
