PERGOLA AND ARBOUR COVER

For long-lasting outdoor use, it’s best to choose a PVC pergola cover: fully waterproof, UV-resistant, and weatherproof, with a high fabric weight for better strength. Tecplast covers are easy to install and offer excellent protection all year round.

You can also opt for a micro-perforated pergola cover, ideal for letting air circulate while filtering some of the sun’s rays. It’s perfect for a light, stylish, and airy pergola.

At Bâches-Direct, our standard and custom-made pergola covers are made from high-quality materials, combining performance and design.

Fixing a  pergola cover is easy using elastic cords (bungee cords), tensioners, or ties, which go through the eyelets around the cover. This system ensures perfect tension and optimal hold, even in strong winds.

The cover should be properly stretched and slightly sloped to avoid wind resistance and water pockets. This helps rainwater drain off easily and extends the life of the cover. For even greater durability, choose a Tecplast pergola cover with closely spaced eyelets (every 25 cm). There are also solutions without eyelets, using piping or rail systems, ideal for discreet and custom installations. All our fixing methods are simple, quick, and designed for intensive outdoor use.

To preserve your PVC pergola cover, regular maintenance is essential. Our covers are easy to clean: just rinse with clear water (no abrasive products), and let it air dry.

In winter, fold and store the pergola cover if it’s not being used, to avoid damage from frost or bad weather. These simple steps help extend the life of your pergola cover while keeping its appearance and performance intact.

The choice of pergola cover depends on your climate and specific needs:

For rain protection, go for a waterproof PVC Tecplast pergola cover with a high fabric weight for extra strength.

For sun exposure, a micro-perforated pergola cover helps reduce heat, allows light through, and limits wind resistance.

We recommend Bâches-Direct customers to choose a strong, durable pergola cover that suits the structure of their pergola for long-term safety and protection.

A waterproof pergola cover provides total waterproofing, ideal for protection from rain and long-term use. It blocks water and UV rays, making it perfect for fully covering a pergola.

Tecplast PVC covers provide full and effective shade, ideal for sun protection.

In contrast, a micro-perforated pergola cover is breathable and perforated, allowing air to flow while reducing heat under the structure. It’s better suited for seasonal use, especially in summer, to create shade without the greenhouse effect.

A professional-quality PVC pergola cover can last 10 to 15 years, depending on exposure to elements (sun, wind, rain) and regular maintenance.

Thanks to its UV resistance and waterproofing, it maintains its performance and appearance over time.

Tecplast PVC pergola covers are built for intensive outdoor use and come with up to a 15-year warranty — proof of their durability and reliability.

While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, a gazebo cover is generally designed for temporary or removable structures like garden gazebos, whereas a pergola cover is made for more permanent and durable installations.

A gazebo cover is often available in standardized sizes, suited for temporary or foldable structures. It’s practical but usually has a more basic finish.

In contrast, a pergola cover is designed for permanent use, with custom dimensions, better aesthetics, and perfect compatibility with your structure. It offers a higher level of finish for a clean and long-lasting integration into your outdoor space. You can configure your custom-made pergola cover easily.

To protect a pergola from rain, choose a waterproof pergola cover that ensures full water resistance. The PVC pergola covers from Bâches-Direct are designed to offer maximum protection against the elements while preserving the visual appeal of your outdoor space.

Our wide range of covers is made from high-quality PVC and built to last, with up to 15 years of warranty.

For more specific needs, opt for our custom pergola covers, allowing you to perfectly match the cover to your structure’s dimensions.

These solutions are easy to install using elastic cords (bungee cords), which keep the cover tight with minimal effort. You can also choose from a wide selection of colors and sizes to customize your Tecplast pergola cover and match your desired design.

Yes, a strong and rigid pergola cover, like a Tecplast PVC cover, can be used as a pergola roof. It provides UV protection, is fully waterproof, and can be used either temporarily or permanently, depending on your needs.

The key is to stretch it well using bungee cords or tensioners, to ensure optimal tension and a clean finish.

It’s a practical and effective solution for creating a custom pergola roof that’s quick to install.

Choosing a custom-made Tecplast pergola cover guarantees a perfect fit for your structure.

A made-to-measure cover is the only solution that can fully adapt to your pergola, regardless of its shape, dimensions, or material (wood, metal, aluminum...).

Unlike standard covers, a custom pergola cover will precisely follow the shape of your installation, ensuring a flawless technical and aesthetic result.

For optimal installation on a pergola or carport, measure from edge to edge on the inside of the structure, then subtract 8 cm in both length and width — this gives you the ideal dimensions for your pergola cover.
