For many homeowners, the garden is often the most underused space. British weather isn’t always kind, and without shelter, a patio or deck can sit empty for much of the year. That’s where a pergola comes in — a sleek, practical addition that transforms your garden into a fifth room you can enjoy every day.
At Cheshire Bespoke Conservatories, we’ve seen pergolas become one of the most in-demand features for modern homes. Whether wall-mounted to extend your living space or freestanding as a centrepiece in your garden, a pergola combines style with year-round usability.
A pergola is far more than a structure to sit under. It’s an investment in lifestyle. With clean, modern lines and options like LED lighting, sliding mesh blinds or retractable roofing, a pergola instantly redefines your garden as a versatile living space.
Imagine relaxing under cover with friends while the rain passes overhead, hosting a barbecue without worrying about sudden showers, or creating a quiet outdoor workspace sheltered from the sun. A pergola makes all this possible, extending your home beyond four walls.
The beauty of pergolas is their flexibility.
Wall-Mounted Pergolas – Fixed to the side of your property, they seamlessly extend your indoor living area into the outdoors. Perfect for patios and bi-fold door openings, they give you a smooth flow from kitchen or lounge straight into a sheltered, usable space.
Freestanding Pergolas – A striking option for larger gardens, these stand independently and create a feature all of their own. They’re ideal for framing a seating area, hot tub, or outdoor kitchen, turning a blank space into a destination.
At CBC, we’ll help you choose the right structure to suit your home and lifestyle, with bespoke options that blend practicality with design.
One of the biggest frustrations for homeowners is investing in outdoor furniture or decking only to have it sit unused in wet or windy weather. Pergolas are built to change that.
Modern systems can include:
Motorised roof louvres that tilt to let sunlight in or close fully for rain protection.
Integrated drainage so water is channelled away neatly.
Mesh or glass side panels for added privacy and wind resistance.
Lighting and heating to extend evenings outdoors.
This isn’t just an upgrade for summer — it’s a year-round solution designed with the UK climate in mind.
We often call pergolas the “fifth room” — a way to add valuable living space without the cost or disruption of a full extension. Unlike a conservatory or orangery, there’s no major build involved, but you still gain a space that feels like part of your home.
From morning coffee to evening get-togethers, a pergola quickly becomes the most loved part of the house. Customers often tell us they wish they’d added one years ago.
With over 20 years’ experience designing and installing bespoke outdoor living spaces, we understand that no two homes are alike. Our team takes care of everything — from initial design consultation through to installation — ensuring your pergola not only looks stunning but also fits seamlessly into your garden.
We’re not about “off-the-shelf” solutions. Every project is tailored, and our friendly team is on hand to guide you through the options, whether you want something simple and stylish or a fully loaded system with lighting, blinds, and heating.
If you’ve been looking for a way to make your garden more usable, practical, and stylish, a pergola could be the answer. It’s the perfect balance of design and function — giving you a year-round space to enjoy with family and friends.
