Pergolas & Shades
In Egypt, shade is not decoration — it's the difference between a space you use and a space you look at. Pergolas, sails and louvres each solve a different problem, and the right one depends on your orientation and how the sun actually moves across your space.
Who this is for
- Anyone whose outdoor space is unusable between noon and late afternoon
- Rooftops and terraces with no existing cover
- Spaces that need privacy from overlooking neighbours as well as sun
Problems this solves
- Direct sun making the space too hot to sit in
- Furniture and textiles fading and degrading
- Being overlooked from neighbouring buildings
- Rain and dust during the short wet season
Design possibilities
- Fixed timber and aluminium pergolas
- Adjustable louvre systems
- Retractable fabric shades and sails
- Climbing planting trained over structures
- Integrated lighting within the structure
Materials and approach
Treated timber and powder-coated aluminium, marine-grade shade fabric, and fixings specified for the wind exposure of your specific location.
