How much does the Deluxe Pod cost?

All our louvered pergolas are bespoke, made to measure to your exact requirements and therefore the cost varies significantly depending on the specification (size, hardware colour…), configuration (freestanding, lean-to…), and mounting detail, along with any options (lighting, heating, side screens…). Our Deluxe Pod starts at £17,995 inc vat, installation & 5 year guarantee. To obtain a budget cost for your specific requirements is really simple using our estimate form, where you simply need to upload a photo of your application and some approximate measurements and then one of our estimators will be able to provide you with an accurate cost indication.

Do you need planning permission for the Deluxe Pod?

In the majority of instances, planning permission is not required to install a louvered pergola at the rear of a residential property, as these fall under permitted development rights. There are some exceptions however, including where your property is located in a conservation, green belt or AONB (area of outstanding natural beauty), your property is listed and where permitted development rights have been removed (usually in historic locations to protect the character of an area). Additionally there are certain stipulations on sizing for pergolas under permitted development, which vary dependent on whether the structure is freestanding or lean-to, attached to the property, which limit the height to 2.5m or 3m respectively, when within 2m of the boundary. Furthermore the structure should not take up more than 50% of the overall outdoor space (including all other structures such as garden buildings). As every local authority regulations vary, there is no one rule for all, so if you are unsure it is always recommended to check with the local authority.

Is the Deluxe Pod roof waterproof?

Yes. The roof louvers on our louvered pergolas overlap and interlock with each other when closed to form an entirely watertight along with wind and snow tight covering. Water drains from the roof louvers to the internal guttering system built within the cross beams and to the nominated posts for effective water evacuation. It is important to make sure that the internal guttering to all sides of the Deluxe Pod are cleaned regularly to allow the water to free flow and prevent water splashing over the guttering in heavy, persistent downpours.

Can you use a BBQ / fireplace beneath the Deluxe Pod?

Yes. It is perfectly safe to use a coal, wood or gas fired BBQ or fireplace beneath the louvered roof. In fact it is extremely common for outdoor kitchens to be installed beneath the structure. The only stipulation is that any flues from for example pizza ovens be positioned a minimum of 0.5m from the underside of the roof louvers and that if the Deluxe Pod is fitted with side screens any heat surfaces are kept a minimum of 0.5m from the screen fabrics. Additionally with the roof louvers open at 10 degrees, this will allow for ventilation from heat build up and smoke beneath whilst still offering rain shower protection from downwards rain.
