Shade tuned to your facade and your sun.
A pergola lives or dies by two numbers — rafter spacing and rafter angle. We measure both on a clear afternoon at your address before we build. The result is shade that lands where you actually sit, not where the catalogue diagram said it should.
Plan a pergola
Three pergola formats
Attached terrace pergola
Bolted to your wall plate or facade. Most common format. Typical 3 × 4 m from RM 14,200.
Freestanding pergola walkway
Four to eight posts, no wall fixings. Used to link house to garden building. From RM 16,800.
Louvred / motorised top
Adjustable louvre slats with hand crank or 24V motor. From RM 38,400 for a 3 × 4 m unit.
Slat-shadow tuning
Rafter pitch chosen for your sun azimuth. No extra charge — we just visit on a sunny day.
What goes into a pergola that doesn’t sag.
- Posts: 140 × 140 mm chengal or balau, on hidden post anchors
- Beams: 75 × 200 mm, lap-jointed and through-bolted
- Rafters: 50 × 100 mm at 350 mm centres for shade balance
- Optional integrated drip line for hanging plants
- Optional concealed wiring for festoon or downlight strip
- Optional retractable shade fabric for full-coverage afternoons
Climbing plants and vines
About a third of our pergolas have a climbing plant in mind from day one. We pre-fit eye-bolts on the rafters and along the beam at standard climber-friendly intervals, with an optional copper-tape spacer to keep aggressive vines from working into the joints.
Our standby pairing is a slow-growing wisteria for shade and a single bougainvillea for colour. We’re happy to liaise with your landscape designer at no charge.
Sensible questions
Can I retrofit a louvred top later?
If we know at design stage, we’ll build the beam to take a future louvre kit — adds about RM 1,200 to the original quote, saves RM 6,000+ at retrofit time.
Will it leak in heavy rain?
A standard slatted pergola is intended to filter sunlight, not block rain. For dry-shelter use, choose the louvred top or specify a retractable rain canopy at quote time.
How is it fixed to my wall?
For attached pergolas we install a galvanised steel wall plate, gasketted and through-bolted into structural masonry. We never rely on facade plaster as a fixing surface.
Have a wall in mind?
Send us the elevation photo and rough dimensions. We’ll come back inside three working days.
