Outdoor design ideas: a pergola for your pool

Who hasn't dreamed of being able to enjoy their swimming pool, even in the middle of the day when the sun is at its peak? Installing a pergola offers you this possibility and much more. Discover its many advantages now.


What is the purpose of the pergola?

Once it's installed, it's a real extra living space, perfect for sharing with family and friends. You can turn the space under your pergola into an outdoor living room, a relaxation area, a play area or a convivial space for meals.
As an island in the heart of your garden or on the front of your house, the pergola provides shelter and an ideal place for extra storage. Whether it's barbecue utensils, swimming pool accessories or cleaning products, our pergola is your best ally against clutter all year round.
To adapt to all seasons and to your needs, the Biossun bioclimatic pergola has retractable and adjustable slats. These allow you to protect yourself from the sun or, on the contrary, let it come inside your pergola. Equipped with a motorised system, the slats of your pergola can be controlled remotely using a remote control or smartphone.

How do you build a pergola near the pool?

Installing your pergola next to your swimming pool will be a real decorative asset for your outdoor layout. Biossun pergolas are fully customisable. With over 350 colours to choose from, your pergola will blend in perfectly with the architecture of your home and satisfy all your landscaping desires.
A host of accessories are available to make the most of your pergola. Depending on where you live and how you use your pergola, we have a range of enclosure solutions such as the Zipsun awning. This vertically descending awning provides protection from the elements, the setting sun and prying eyes. It can be controlled remotely using the Biossun remote control. You can also add sliding side windows to your pergola. They fit perfectly into the aluminium structure of your pergola and give you a 360° view of your surroundings.
Create a cosy atmosphere near your pool with lighting on your pergola. LED spotlights create a bright atmosphere, while LED strips enhance the elegance of your aluminium pergola. Whichever option you choose, the lighting is ideal for enjoying pleasant evenings by the water.
Biossun offers a fixing solution for installing a pergola without drilling into the ground, particularly for roof terraces or balconies. Our concept is based on a ballasted planter. Attached to the post and weighted down with gravel, it stabilises the pergola. It can be planted, so you can decorate it with your most beautiful plants.

How to install a pergola by the pool?

Before you install a pergola on the edge of your pool, there are a few things you should know. Before you start installing a bioclimatic pergola for your pool, it is essential that you contact your local council. The steps required depend on two main criteria: the footprint of your pergola and the type of installation (attached to your house or a building or freestanding). Depending on these criteria, you will need to submit a building notification or a building permit to your local council.
We will then be happy to assist you in choosing your pergola. Our approved dealer will come to your home to carry out a technical study of your project and assess the construction work. He will then provide you with a complete diagnosis of the measures you need to take to install your future pergola at the edge of your pool.
