Here are some frequently asked questions about SUNVUE.

Our unique all aluminium framing system is designed by us for both strength and style.  Aluminium is a wise choice as it ensures a structure that will not rust over time and is easy to maintain. 

Yes - all our pergolas are custom built to suit your wind zone. Our post and beam profiles are larger than most on the market. This is important as it ensures a stronger structure. Another benefit is that it quite simply looks more appealing.

We can powder coat your pergola any colour you choose in the Dulux powder coat range.

All of our structures are coated in the Dulux Duralloy system unless otherwise stated.

For sea spray zones we recommend the Duratec coating system.

In most regions you may construct a pergola up to 20 m2 without requiring a permit. A 5.0 metre x 4.0 metre structure falls within these guidelines. Your SUNVUE Sales Representative will be able to provide you with further information after a site visit. 

The short answer is no, it will not. There are a range of roofing options of clear or tinted product for various applications and outcomes.

Our roofing panels will block out up to 99% of harmful ultra violet rays making our pergolas a safe place for you and your loved ones. 

The more light a structure lets through, the less shade that you will get.  This is obviously very desirable during cooler months but not so much over Summer.  By choosing a darker material on the roof, you will ensure more shade.  At SUNVUE, we offer a range of different options that can provide you with the best of both worlds throughout all seasons. 

This depends on a number of factors including customer demand. Please ask your SUNVUE Sales Representative for details on our current installation timeframes when they visit.

We can normally install in a day, however sometimes due to the weather or the size and complexity of your pergola it can take 2 days.
