Which Direction Should A Pergola Face?
A sun louvered pergola is an aesthetically pleasing and functional garden structure that can be adapted to varieties of scenarios, providing a place for shade, privacy and relaxation.
In addition to providing people with functions such as shade and rainproof, it can also be used to create a private space in the outdoor garden, avoiding the eyesight of neighbors and passers-by.
It is also possible to attach some seasonal plants to the sunshade pergola structure which can add color to the outdoor space.
If you are considering building a pergola in the garden or balcony, you need to check many details in advance, such as size, material, design, location and direction, etc.
Next, we will discuss the specific direction of the aluminum pergola, which will directly affect the use experience.
First of all, it is the climate. If the application scenario of the louvered pergola is located in a sunny area, it is generally placed facing north or east, because this can keep the shade on the time of hottest in the day; if the weather is comfortable ,any orientation is acceptable.
The second is to consider the factor of sight. For example, some pergola are built at the highest point to overlook the beautiful scenery with watching the sunset or sunrise.
This is the direction for practical considerations.
The third factor is about the wind strongness.
If the wind is strong and the location of the pergola is just at the center of air convection flow, the direction of pergola facing will directly influence the structure and enjoying experience of the pergola.
The above is about the external environment where the pergola is located. It is in line with engineering principles to adjust the direction of the pergola according to the external conditions.
In addition, in addition to the above adjustments to the external conditions, the internal conditions of the pergola need to be considered, because the direction will also affect the internal leisure space, for example, no matter which direction it is facing, when the weather conditions becoming worse, the items in the internal leisure space will be messy by the wind, and in the case of rain fall, the horizontal wind plus the rain will directly make the interior of the pergola messy, which is some situation we worry about.
Therefore, in addition to adjusting the direction of the pergola, we also need to pay attention to the internal space.
Generally speaking, we can add relevant products such as aluminium roller shutters, zip screen / roller blinds, and aluminum screens/ partion to the structure of the pergola.
Thus the interior space is upgraded to the maximum extent, regardless of the changes of external weather conditions.
