Summer in Switzerland
35°C on the patio — and you escape into the dark living room.
In July, the sun beats down on the terrace—nothing can stand it in the shade. By evening, the apartment is overheated and you don’t open a window because the heat wants to get in. Three months a year, you become a prisoner in your own home.
Do you know that?
A patio umbrella is no solution against the Swiss midday sun.
It covers 4 m² and tips over with the first gust of wind. An awning helps a bit—but only in one direction and not in windy conditions.
Patio like an oven
35°C and direct sunlight. No one sits there voluntarily. The flowers scorch, the cushions fade.
The house heats up with it too
The sun beats down on the façade, through the windows and into the rooms. In the evenings, you need hours of cross-ventilation.
Children can’t go outside.
At midday it’s too hot to play. The family retreats into the house, even though the garden is right next door.
Shade at the touch of a button. Controlled airflow. And a space that won’t turn into an oven.
The real problem
You waited all summer — and you still end up sitting inside.
Spring promised you you’d live outdoors this summer. And now? July, 33 °C, midday sun. You close the terrace door, pull down the shutters, switch on the fan.
The terrace—the one you laid the flooring perfectly for, chose the furniture carefully, tended the plants—sits empty. Because the sun turns it into a no-go zone.
A proper aluminum pergola with a louvered roof changes that. You adjust the louvers, the sun becomes a soft, raking light, the air circulates freely, and the temperature drops by 8–12 °C. From day one.
The solution
SkyPergola — your cooled outdoor space.
No glass roof, no sheet-metal roof. Rotatable aluminum louvers that block exactly the sun angle that bothers you.
-
Louvers as a sunshade 90° range of rotation means: you choose how much light gets through. From full shade to an open-sky pergola.
-
Air continues to circulate Unlike a glass roof or an awning. The heat doesn’t build up under the roof — airflow passes through.
-
Heat protection for the home Anyone sitting under the pergola stays cool. Anyone standing behind the glass does too: the house heats up significantly less.

Yes. With the louvers closed, the difference compared to direct sunlight is typically 8–12°C. The air circulates, and the asphalt effect disappears.
Rough guideline: from around CHF 15,000 for a 3 x 3 m Lite. In the consultation, we’ll clarify your specific situation.
From the time you place your order: 6–10 weeks, including the building permit. We’ll take care of the permit application for you.
No. SkyPergola replaces an awning, sun sail, and parasol in one product—because it can do everything each of them does on its own.
