This is a classy retractable pergola that you will get daily use out of.
It has such an inviting and warm ambience.
When retracted this diy pergola canopy tucks neatly away at one end of the structure.
However as with all pergolas you run the risk of being exposed due to the sides being absent.
With a retractable canopy the fabric is attached to support boards that slide along tensioned stainless steel cables called wire ropes.
Large eye screws do the sliding and make easy work of extending and retracting the canopy.
The pergola is intended to go over a sitting area that s surrounded by a garden but you might also use it in order to go past a rose garden.
