Pergola Agava design plans

There’s also a specific pergola group called pergola Agava, it uses aluminum as the main material for the roof in the form of numerous strips, allowing for a lot of different advantages at the same time, like ventilation in hot sunny days and protection from water in rainy days thanks to the hidden drainage grooves and other technological decisions to make this one of the best “fit-for-all” pergola plans there is.

an example of a pergola from Hungary

There are five general design plans of pergola Agava that you can find, and they’re mainly represented by their maximum sizes per unit.

  • 160/28. This small pergola Agava allows for up to 24 square meters of space (4×6 pergola).
  • 170/28 and 170/36. These two are relatively similar, the only difference between them is the dimensions – up to 28 square meters for 170/28 and up to 30.5 meters of square space for 170/36 (4x7m and 4.5x7m pergolas, respectively). The majority of other traits are the same for these two.
  • 240/36 and 240/60. As with the previous ones, the one major difference between these models is their max dimensions: up to 36 square meters for 240/36 and up to 40 square meters for 240/60. It’s important to mention that the 240/60 model can have two different shapes: the square one (6 by 6 meters, height notwithstanding) and the rectangular one (5 by 8 meters) but the overall size of one module still can’t cover more than 40 square meters at once.

an example of a pergola from France

Different design plans notwithstanding, pergola Agava can also come in different implementations that basically all of the models are capable of supporting, like:

  • It can be freestanding, with fixed or arbitrary pillar location;
  • It can be attached to a straight house wall and use one or two pillars as a support;
  • It can also work with a curved or non-standard wall, as well, using two perpendicular pillars to support itself.

And that’s just one modern pergola design among the plethora of other ones. Here’s a few examples of case-specific pergola design plans.
