{"title":"Custom Pergola Cover","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pergola gives you the frame for great outdoor time. Weather decides whether you actually get to use it. Custom pergola covers close that gap — they turn an open lattice into a top that either seals out the rain or throws cool shade, depending on what your space needs. Either way, it's cut to your exact frame, because a pergola that's a little oversized or out of square is the norm, not the exception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo jobs, two kinds of pergola cover\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you shop, get one thing straight: do you want to stay dry, or do you want to stay cool? They're different jobs, and they need different fabrics.\u003cbr\u003e\nWaterproof pergola covers use a coated PVC fabric that seals the top completely. Rain runs off, the space underneath stays dry, and you get a usable spot even when the weather turns. Pergola shade covers use breathable Sunbrella instead — they block the sun's glare and heat while letting hot air vent through, so the shade stays cool. One keeps water out. The other keeps heat down. Pick for the problem you actually have.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWaterproof pergola covers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the goal is a dry patio, you want a sealed top. Our waterproof pergola covers come in two grades — ZIP Armor, the heavy-duty 18 oz build for full year-round exposure, and ZIP Shield, a lighter high-grade fabric for milder, seasonal use. Both come in two styles: a clean flat top, and an extended drop that overhangs the frame to push runoff clear of your posts and works with slide-wire systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePergola shade covers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the enemy is the sun, not the rain, breathable shade wins. Our Sunbrella pergola shade covers block glare and take the heat off the space while venting hot air, so it stays cool underneath instead of turning into a greenhouse. Solution-dyed color resists fading through years of sun, and they double as a made-to-measure pergola replacement canopy when an old top gives out.
