Because you are looking to improve your work parking (see a restaurant, for example) or simply because you want your car to sleep under cover and you don't have space for a garage or want to go into construction, a pergola is the ideal option to protect your car from the weather elements and give you extra storage space.

Types of car pergolas

At present, there are several options to protect our vehicle (or that of our clients) from the weather, and yes, one of them is car pergolas.

These structures, whether bioclimatic pergolas or fixed pergolas, are divided into several types according to their typology, among which are attached, independent pergolas or pergolas between three and four walls.

• All the attached pergolas, have two pillars and can be attached to the facade of the house. It is important to highlight that its installation must be carried out by a professional to guarantee the correct support of the structure and the adequate protection of the car. But we both know that this is not a problem, because our team of specialized technicians will take care of the entire process in record time.
• Furthermore, the freestanding pergolas. They are supported by 4 independent pillars and can be placed anywhere in the garden or garage. In this way, they offer greater flexibility and customization in terms of location and design.
• Finally, we find the pergolas between two, three or four walls. These pergolas do not have pillars as they are directly anchored to the wall. It can be used to take advantage of empty spaces outside the house.

In addition, we have another possibility of customizing the pergolas, and that is that, whether they are fixed or bioclimatic, we can choose the orientation of the slats since they can be parallel or perpendicular.

Some of these factors include:

• Car size: Obviously, the pergola must be of a suitable size to fully protect your car. And more if you have more than one vehicle at home.
