Dreaming of a cozy pergola all year round? Whether in summer or winter, choosing the right pergola fabric is essential.

Waterproof, micro-perforated or custom-made pergola covers – you have plenty of options.

For most of us, the pergola is a true living space, used for relaxing, entertaining, or working outdoors. But to enjoy it year-round, it's essential to choose the right pergola cover. Depending on the weather conditions, the orientation of your terrace, or the intended use, the type of fabric you need can vary significantly. This article helps you navigate the different options available.

What type of pergola cover is best for year-round protection?

The first thing to consider is how you plan to use your pergola throughout the year. If you want to enjoy it in all seasons, a waterproof PVC pergola cover is a must. This type of pergola fabric protects against rain and blocks UV rays.

PVC models are the most common and durable. They are easy to maintain and resistant to wind and tearing. For example, a Tecplast PVC pergola tarp provides excellent winter durability while offering sun protection in the summer. Our PVC tarps are tough and guaranteed for up to 15 years depending on the model, but we recommend removing the cover in extreme weather or during the winter months to extend its life.

In areas exposed to strong sun or wind, reinforced UV-treated fabrics like those from Bâches-Direct are highly recommended. A quality pergola cover should handle temperature fluctuations and constant humidity.

Shade and comfort: which pergola cover is best for summer use?

If your main goal is to enjoy your outdoor space during sunny days, consider a micro-perforated shade sail for your pergola. Less opaque than a classic tarp but made with the same durable Tecplast PVC, this option offers a great balance between light and coolness.

The micro-perforated PVC pergola tarpaulin is increasingly popular: it’s breathable, doesn't trap moisture, and dries quickly. It allows air circulation while filtering UV rays. You get soft lighting and natural shade—perfect to avoid a greenhouse effect under the pergola. Its modern and lightweight design fits seamlessly into any contemporary garden setup.

These fabrics are flexible and come in a range of colors, making them suitable for all pergola styles. Our micro-perforated covers are compatible with most pergola structures, including freestanding, wall-mounted, curved, or flat designs.

Choose a custom-made PVC cover and enjoy your pergola all year round!

Every pergola is unique—its size, shape, or structure. A custom pergola cover ensures a perfect fit without creases or excess tension. This prevents deformation and extends the lifespan of your setup.

Customization goes beyond dimensions: you can choose the size, finish (hems, eyelets, tensioners), color, and Tecplast commercial warranty. Opting for a custom pergola tarp is a durable and stylish choice.

Customize your pergola cover now

The choice of your pergola tarpaulin depends primarily on how you plan to use it and the climate in your region. For year-round use, a waterproof pergola cover is recommended. In summer, micro-perforated models are perfect for combining thermal comfort with aesthetics. Finally, for the best results, consider investing in a custom-made pergola cover.
