When an extensive renovation project in South Shropshire neared completion, the focus turned to the outdoor living area. Given the property’s exposed, rural location, the owners required a high-performance, year-round solution capable of withstanding high winds and the demanding British weather without compromising on aesthetics.
The couple selected the Horizon Pergola from Howells Patent Glazing opting for the four pane model in a standard finish. The pergola spans 2.9m with 2.5m projection and is glazed with a grey-tinted laminated safety glass to reduce glare and control heat. The aluminium frame is powder coated in RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey Matt.
Transformed the garden
Homeowner, Mrs Williams praised the final result saying the Horizon Pergola is a high-quality product, while also commenting on the care and consideration of the design and how it has transformed the space.
“We can use the garden in inclement weather; that’s the biggest difference. It’s also given the patio a purpose, it’s not somewhere we’d really used before, but now we can sit outside, comfortable and dry, and enjoy uninterrupted views across to the distant Clee Hills.
“We’re very happy with the service we received from Howells, from start to finish. They are approachable, friendly and professional with a great product.”
Compliant weather resistance
The Horizon Pergola uses Howells’ proven aluminium glazing bar technology to deliver structural integrity and visual appeal. The standard system configuration fully complies with EN 1991 for typical wind and snow loads, ensuring reliable, year-round performance.
To maintain a contemporary aesthetic and maximise uninterrupted sightlines, the pergola includes colour-matched guttering with downpipes neatly routed along the posts – a stand-out feature in the UK pergola market. Working alongside a 5-degree pitched roof, it delivers effective and discreet water management.
Custom-made, supply only pergola
The Horizon Pergola is custom-made product, delivered in 4-6 weeks. It is a supply only product, unless otherwise agreed, and is suitable for both domestic and commercial use.
It is available in four, six and eight pane configurations with a projection of 2.5m and spans from 2.9m to 5.7m at 717mm centres. Roofing options include 8.8mm laminated tinted glass or clear 10mm twinwall polycarbonate panels supported by a powder coated aluminium frame in standard RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey Matt or any custom RAL colour.
