ProductsRetractable pergola
Avantgarde retractable pergola: your shade, the sky one button away.
The Avantgarde retractable pergola opens and closes its technical fabric roof along rails with a remote-controlled motor. The fabric is blackout, waterproof and flame-retardant. On restaurant, café and hotel patios it gives shade while its gutter profiles collect rainwater. We build each system to your project in our own factory, in operation since 1989.

Quick answer
What is the Avantgarde retractable pergola, and who is it for?
Avantgarde is a retractable pergola with a technical fabric roof that a motor opens and folds back along rails. The frame pairs aluminum with stainless steel, and the fabric is blackout, waterproof and flame-retardant. Because it offers single-rail and double-curtain options, gutter profiles and lower sides that close with glass, it suits restaurant, café and hotel patios. As a result, shade, rain protection and side closure come from one system.
01How it works
Fabric on rails, control in your hand.
Avantgarde's roof is a PVC-based technical fabric that travels along rails. When you press the remote, the motor opens or folds back the fabric. So you can shade the patio at midday and, as the air cools, fold the roof back to open the sky.
Before production, we choose the single-rail or double-curtain option that fits your patio. When it rains, the water collects in the gutter profiles. In addition, optional LED modules fit on the fabric support profiles, which means the patio stays lit after dark.
You can close the lower sides of the Avantgarde retractable pergola with glass. When you also combine the system with other covering systems, it creates a fully enclosed space, so the patio no longer depends on summer.
Roof closed
The fabric covers the patio and rainwater runs to the gutter profiles.
Roof folded back
The fabric gathers on the rails and the patio opens to the sky.
Sides closed
Glass and other covering systems create a fully enclosed space.
02Features
Details for a busy restaurant patio.
Motor and remote
A remote-controlled motor opens and closes the roof. This way your staff can adjust it from wherever they stand during service.
Technical fabric
The fabric is blackout, waterproof and flame-retardant. As a result, the roof gives shade and keeps rain out at the same time.
Gutter profiles
Rainwater first collects in the gutter profiles. Then we set the drainage point to suit the ground and your project.
LED lighting
Optional LED modules sit on the fabric support profiles. We then plan the wiring together with your project.
Glass and full enclosure
If you like, glass closes the lower sides. In addition, other covering systems turn the patio into a fully enclosed space.
Construction and color
The frame pairs aluminum with stainless steel. The aluminum profiles also get an electrostatic powder coating in the RAL color that matches your building.

06FAQ
What people ask about Avantgarde.
Is the Avantgarde retractable pergola waterproof?
The Avantgarde retractable pergola has a waterproof fabric, and rainwater collects in its gutter profiles. We set the drainage point to suit the ground and your project. We also design the system for rain, wind and snow conditions, so our technical team calculates the values for your project based on its size and location. Finally, correct installation and regular care matter as well.
What is the difference between Avantgarde and Elegant?
Avantgarde and Elegant are two pergola series with a fabric roof that opens and folds back along rails under motor power. However, Avantgarde targets restaurants, cafés, hotels and patios, and it also offers single-rail and double-curtain options, gutter profiles and LED modules on the fabric support profiles. Elegant, by contrast, serves homes, from backyards to balconies and porches, and it mounts on a wall or stands on its own.
Can you use Avantgarde in winter?
You can close the lower sides with glass, and when you combine Avantgarde with other covering systems, it creates a fully enclosed space. The patio then stays usable in cooler and wetter months. In addition, LED modules on the fabric support profiles give light when evenings get dark early. However, snow and wind values depend on size and location, so our technical team calculates them for each project.
How much does an Avantgarde retractable pergola cost?
Size, the single-rail or double-curtain option, the RAL color, extras such as LED and glass, and installation set the price. If you enter your patio size in the form at the end of this page, our team gets back to you with an estimate within one business day. The firm quote then follows in writing, based on your drawings.
Does a restaurant patio cover need a permit?
Permit rules depend on your city, county and property owner, and on whether the structure attaches to the building. This is general information, not legal advice. Before you order, check with your local building department and, where relevant, your landlord or HOA. In addition, our team can prepare the drawings and technical details that an application may need.
Who installs and services Avantgarde?
In Türkiye our own team installs and commissions the system. In other markets, our authorized dealers or your project's installation crew handle the installation, and we provide the installation manual, drawings and remote technical support. For large hotel and commercial projects, our project sales team also coordinates the job site. After-sales service and warranty registration run through one contact, so you do not need to search for the right person.
