Wind-resistant pergolas: protection and style for your outdoor space, even in the rain
Choosing a durable pergola is essential to ensure safety, protection and durability, providing a quality outdoor experience even during the colder seasons.
Classes of wind and rain resistance: things to consider
The wind resistance of a pergola is classified according to specific European standards. Pergolas can be rated up to a class 7, which corresponds to a wind resistance of more than 75 km/h.
Similarly, rain resistance is measured by the structure's runoff and watertightness. This means that you can choose the pergola best suited to your needs based on location and climatic conditions.
In coastal or particularly windy and rainy areas it’s advisable to opt for a pergola with greater wind and rain resistance. While in cities or sheltered areas a pergola with less extreme features may be the best solution.
Some products such as Maestro and Alba Butterfly offer capacities and features suited to different weather conditions, providing protection and comfort in all seasons.

Maestro: innovation and durability for all seasons
Maestro is the bioclimatic pergola with adjustable blades that combines innovation and style. Available in freestanding or wall-mounted versions, it can be configured in modules that reach maximal dimensions that are ideal for large areas.
Blades that can be adjusted up to 140° let you personalise the amount of light and ventilation. When closed, the structure becomes weather-resistant (certified class 6 with closed blades) thanks to an integrated gutter system that channels rain water, providing protection and comfort on rainy days.

Butterfly: advanced pantograph technology applied to Alba
Alba Butterfly is a pergola equipped with a pantograph cover system that folds the canvas, tested to withstand heavy rain and strong gusts of wind.
Its water drainage system is particularly efficient, being able to handle up to 300 l/h/m². This feature makes it ideal not only for residential settings but also for contract spaces, where a reliable and durable structure is required.
Alba Butterfly represents an evolution in the field of retractable pergolas. Thanks to the Butterfly pantograph system, the canvas stacks upwards, reducing its footprint by 40% compared to traditional systems.
The robustness of the curved canvas and the perimeter gutters ensure high resistance to both rain and wind, offering complete protection even during intense storms.
