Do you know that?

First raindrop — and everyone rushes indoors.

The grill is glowing, the guests are seated, the food is laid out. Then the rain shower hits. Collect the cushions, carry the plates inside, mood gone. And that’s how every other summer evening ends on your terrace.

Sounds familiar?

A terrace without weather protection is not an outdoor space. It’s a gamble.

The average Swiss patio is genuinely used for fewer than 40 days a year. On the other 325 days, it just gets in the way.

Cancelled evenings

You’ve covered the patio, the first shower rolls in, and five minutes later you’re sitting inside at the dining table. Every time, the same disappointment.

Damaged furniture

Upholstery wet, wood swollen, cushions mouldy. Every summer you buy new ones. Or you lug everything in and out — with every change in the weather.

Unused investment

You’ve invested thousands in your patio. But most of the time it sits empty — because the sun, rain, or wind just aren’t right.

The problem isn’t your terrace. The problem is the weather — and we’ll get that under control.

The real annoyance

You plan your barbecue night three days ahead — and a sudden weather change kills it in 10 minutes.

You check the weather forecast in the morning. Looks good. You call your friends, do the shopping, set the terrace. Then a front moves in. Cushions inside, cover the grill, move the food into the cramped kitchen. Instead of a balmy summer evening: an improvised meal indoors.

And you ask yourself: What do I even have this terrace for?

The problem isn’t that it rains. The problem is that you’re at the mercy of the weather — when what you really want is to decide for yourself when you sit outside.

"After 4 years on the terrace without protection, I was done with it. Since we got the SkyPergola, I even sit outside in the rain. We truly live outdoors." — Customer from Zug

Objections you probably have

Before you read on — these are the typical thoughts.

We take each of these objections seriously. Here are the honest answers.

  • "Is an awning not enough?" An awning protects against sun — but not against rain. And in the wind, it can blow right in your face. We’re not talking about sun shading here; we’re talking about a space that protects you.
  • "Glass roof blocks light and air." That’s right — that’s why we don’t build a glass roof. The louvers open completely when you want sky. They close tightly when it rains. You decide, not the weather.
  • "Isn’t that extremely expensive?" Do the math: two sets of new garden furniture, three unused summers, a hundred cancelled BBQ evenings. A SkyPergola isn’t a luxury — it gives you back the terrace you’ve already paid for.
  • "Building permit takes forever." We handle the entire building permit application for you — plans, structural calculations, municipality. You only need to sign. From the time you place your order, your pergola will be installed within 6–10 weeks.

What customers who made the switch say

"Last Saturday, a thunderstorm hit right in the middle of our barbecue. Pressed the button, slats closed, roof sealed — we just stayed seated. That was the moment the pergola really paid off for me."

Martin B. Zug

"I used to put the cushions away every evening. Today they just stay where they are. The terrace feels like a real living room — with fresh air."

Andrea K. Lucerne

"The decision cost me months before buying. After the first summer with it, I wished we had built it two years earlier."
