Are you considering the upcoming Summer season and planning to entertain your family and friends? Are you curious about the effectiveness of a Pergola in keeping everyone outside for longer, enjoying each other's company, food, and drinks?
Perhaps you are wondering which type would suit your property and the differences?
Hopefully we can help point you in the right direction here...
Here is Josh from Suns Lifestyle walking you through the main differences between the Rota and the Maranza Pergola.
The Maranza: Designed to create an ideal outdoor space for socializing and relaxation. With its adaptable features, it allows you to enjoy the outdoors throughout the year, regardless of the weather conditions.
The key feature in the Pergola’s unique design is the vented roof louvres, the winding mechanisms allow you to control the direction of the roof louvres manually creating an open or closed space. The genius built-in drainage system means that if the weather changes, just close the louvered roof to make the area completely weatherproof, any rainwater that lands on the louvres will flow into the guttering channels and drain through the legs to the ground. These shutters also allow you to adjust the amount of sunlight or shade you desire.
Both models are semi-permanent structures, meaning they are secured to the surface and not below, this makes them very sturdy and durable, yet still with the ability to move, if required. Always keep the roof louvres slightly open during extreme weather conditions to allow the wind to pass through the structure.
Additionally, the options for the Maranza Pergola Deluxe Screens will provide protection from the wind and rain, ensuring that your outdoor area remains comfortable and shielded. The Maranza can take up to 6 screens. Below is the image of a 3.5 x 7.2m pergola and as you can see it has 6 legs, so if screens were wanted on the front, then x 2 340cm screens.
The Deluxe Screen zips into the Maranza legs, enabling an element of weatherproofing, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor area with added protection from the sun, wind and rain all year round. Note that the screens are designed to be retracted when the Maranza is not in use for longevity.
Designed to suit both residential and commercial settings, this elegant pergola is crafted from premium stainless aluminum, guaranteeing durability and style. It is available in four different sizes and comes in Matte Royal Grey, ensuring it effortlessly complements any outdoor space.
You may be wondering if you can build the pergolas yourself and how much hassle it may be. All models come with instructions and can be self-fitted with basic DIY knowledge, as well as ideally two or more people to help, plus an array of tools.
Estimated build time varies for each size model and can range from 1-5 hours. This does not affect the 5-year manufacturers’ warranty on the frame or the 2 year warranty on the sun & weather screens.
Looking to have your Maranza Pergola up against the back of your house? Great news, if you're going for a 6 legged structure (anything 5m or larger), you can remove that central leg on the house side and replace it with a wall bracket. (This can be purchased at checkout)
All of our pergolas can be mounted to the back of the house as you can see in the following image. This ensures there is no space between your building and your brand new rota louvered or Maranza Deluxe aluminium pergola.
Your new pergola won't obstruct any patio doors at the back of the house; just step out into your new covered space!
