Restaurant pergola: the rain starts, service carries on.
A restaurant pergola turns your terrace into a dining room that closes in the rain, shades the sun and shelters behind zip screens in the wind. Heaters and LED lighting also extend evening service. We match the system to your terrace and make it in our Sakarya factory, as we have since 1989.

Short answer
Which pergola suits a restaurant?
Two series stand out for a restaurant pergola. SkyMax is a louvred bioclimatic pergola whose panels close into a rain-protective roof and retract to open the sky. Avantgarde is a retractable roof pergola that gathers its technical fabric roof on rails and suits restaurants, cafés and hotels. Zip screens or glass close SkyMax at the sides, glass closes Avantgarde's lower sides, and LED lighting extends evening service on both.
01Needs
The terrace, your second dining room.
A restaurant or café terrace works differently from a home terrace: it serves guests every day, at lunch and at dinner. That is why the first test for a restaurant pergola is whether service can continue when the weather changes. When rain starts, the roof has to close; when the wind picks up, the sides come down; and on cool evenings, heat has to be ready.
In a business, staff usually operate the system, so it has to be simple. Motorised systems run by remote control, and with the optional rain and wind sensor the roof closes by itself when the weather turns. In the louvred systems, drainage and cabling also run inside the profiles, so guests see no pipes or cables.
Finally, the terrace should match your brand. We finish the aluminium profiles with electrostatic powder coating, in RAL colours or wood-grain finishes chosen for the façade. On large projects, our project sales team also coordinates the site.
02Service conditions
An answer for every kind of weather.
Sun
The louvres stop at intermediate angles, so lunch tables get full shade or filtered light. Open louvres also let the air circulate.
Rain
Closed louvres form a roof that protects from rain, and the water drains through channels into the posts. With retractable fabric roofs, gutter profiles lead the water away instead.
Wind
An i-Zip Screen comes down between the posts, its fabric edges held taut in side rails. It also protects against sun, rain and insects.
Cool evenings
With glass panels and the heater option, the terrace stays in use on cool evenings and in winter. So you can plan the terrace beyond the summer season.
Lighting
LED lighting carries evening service after sunset, and on Avantgarde LED modules fit the fabric support profiles. We plan the power supply for it at the survey.
Operation and service
Your staff run the motorised systems by remote control. After-sales service and warranty registration also go through one contact point.
03Recommended series
Three series for restaurants and cafés.
A restaurant pergola project can combine these series: SkyMax or Avantgarde for the roof and i-Zip Screen for the sides.
ViewSkyMax
Its panels rotate and retract, move together and stop at any point. The flagship of the Sky Series suits hotel, restaurant and café terraces.
ViewAvantgarde
A technical fabric roof that opens and closes by remote-controlled motor. The fabric is blackout, waterproof and flame-retardant, and glass can close the lower sides.
Viewi-Zip Screen
A motorised vertical screen whose fabric edges run in side rails with a zip. It protects against sun, wind, rain and insects and gives guests privacy.

06FAQ
Questions about restaurant pergolas.
Can a restaurant pergola be used in winter?
Yes. When SkyMax closes its panels, the roof protects from rain and snow, and zip screens or glass panels close the sides. Heaters and LED lighting extend evening service. With Avantgarde, glass can close the lower sides, and combining it with other covering systems creates a fully enclosed area. Our technical team calculates the snow and wind values for each project.
Louvred roof or retractable fabric roof for a restaurant?
On SkyMax, the louvred panels rotate and also retract, so shade, ventilation and open sky come from one roof. On Avantgarde, a technical fabric roof gathers on rails, and the fabric is blackout, waterproof and flame-retardant. Terrace size, the character of the building and winter use decide. Both systems can also work together with i-Zip Screen side screens.
How is the price of a restaurant pergola set?
The price of a restaurant pergola depends on terrace size, series, colour and finish, side closure such as zip screens and glass, heaters and LED lighting, and the installation site. Enter your size and type of business in the form for an indicative quote; our team replies within one working day. A firm quote follows in writing after a site survey or from drawings.
Do I need a permit for a pergola on a restaurant terrace?
Whether a restaurant pergola needs a permit depends on local planning rules, the building's management rules, the status of the terrace area and whether the pergola connects to the building. This is general information, not legal advice, so please check with your municipality or building authority before you apply. If the application needs drawings or technical information, our team prepares them.
How are installation and service planned?
We plan the installation schedule with you at the quote stage, around your opening hours. In Türkiye our own team installs and commissions the system; abroad, an authorised dealer or the project's installation team works with our installation manual, drawings and remote technical support. Warranty registration and after-sales service then run through one contact point.
