What Is a Bioclimatic Pergola?
How adjustable louvers manage sun, airflow and rain—and what to verify before specifying a system.
01 / QUICK ANSWER
What you need to know
A bioclimatic pergola is an outdoor structure with adjustable roof louvers. Rotating the louvers changes shade and airflow; closing them creates a rain-shedding surface. Performance is not universal: span, wind resistance, drainage and controls depend on engineering, configuration and site conditions.
