- Fitting a folding-arm awning: 1 day.
On the Costa Blanca, shade is not a luxury — it is what makes your outdoor space usable from May to October. A bioclimatic pergola with adjustable aluminium louvres lets you control light and airflow through the day and, when closed, protects your table and furniture from a sudden downpour.
When you want something lighter or more affordable, awnings — folding-arm, cassette or vertical — provide targeted shade over windows, terraces and porches. And for pool or garden areas we design bespoke shade structures that create a sheltered outdoor living space away from the direct sun.
It is a premium upgrade that adds value to the property and greatly extends the hours you can spend outside. We choose materials built for intense sun, sea breeze and occasional rain, and install them with our own in-house team, coordinating remotely for overseas owners.

The full scope of Pergolas and Awnings works
Every job we take on within this service, with the detail of how we carry it out. The price is always fixed after the survey.
Sun and wind survey
Solar orientation study
- What we do
- Working out how the sun tracks across your terrace so the shade is sized properly.
- How we do it
- A west-facing porch catches the low afternoon sun, which no horizontal roof will ever stop — that needs adjustable louvres or a vertical side blind. We study the elevation before proposing a model, not afterwards.
Wind exposure
- What we do
- Assessing the wind load the structure will have to carry.
- How we do it
- We size the posts, sections and fixings for the height and exposure, using the wind loadings the CTE sets for this zone. A catalogue pergola bolted onto a front-line penthouse is the one that ends up in the neighbour garden.
Checking the supporting structure
- What we do
- Establishing whether the slab, wall or ground will take the fixings.
- How we do it
- We open up the fixing point to see whether there is structure there or just a screed topping. On a waterproofed terrace, every fixing must also either avoid the membrane or be sealed through it with a watertight sleeve.
Fitting community and council rules
- What we do
- Guidance on what the community and town hall will actually allow.
- How we do it
- Many communities specify the colour and model of awning so the facade stays uniform, and an attached pergola usually needs a minor-works licence. We settle all that before anything is fabricated.
Choosing between pergola and awning
- What we do
- An honest recommendation based on how you will use it and your budget.
- How we do it
- If you want to eat outside all summer and not be driven in by a shower, it is a pergola. If you only need shade over a window or for a few hours a day, an awning does the job for far less — and we will tell you so.
Pergolas
Bioclimatic louvred pergola
- What we do
- An aluminium structure with adjustable louvres controlling sun, shade and airflow.
- How we do it
- The louvres rotate through 135° to give shade while letting air through, and close overlapped to form a watertight roof. Because heat vents out of the top, it sits several degrees cooler underneath than a solid roof.
Integrated rainwater drainage
- What we do
- Rain carried away through the pergola structure itself.
- How we do it
- The louvre channels discharge into the perimeter beam and run down inside the post to a drain. Without carrying that water away, a gota fría dumps the whole roof onto one spot of your paving.
Wall-mounted pergola
- What we do
- A structure carried on the house wall and on posts at the front.
- How we do it
- We fix the beam to the facade on a spreader plate and seal the junction with a profile and drip edge, so the connection does not become a route for water into the house.
Free-standing garden pergola
- What we do
- A self-supporting structure for a seating area away from the house.
- How we do it
- With no wall to lean on it needs its own foundations: a concrete pad with holding-down bolts under each post. That is what keeps it standing through the late-summer gusts.
Pergola side enclosures
- What we do
- Moving panels to block low sun, wind or driving rain from the sides.
- How we do it
- We integrate glass curtains, vertical blinds or louvred panels into the sides, all guided within the posts themselves. It is what turns a pergola into a space you can use in winter too.
Awnings
Folding-arm awning
- What we do
- A retractable awning over a terrace or porch, with no legs standing on the floor.
- How we do it
- The arms carry tensioned steel cable inside and hold the fabric taut without posts in the way. We always set enough pitch so a downpour runs off instead of pooling into a bag.
Cassette awning
- What we do
- An awning that retracts fabric and arms into a closed aluminium cassette.
- How we do it
- The cassette protects the fabric from sun and salt air while it is rolled away, which is where awnings degrade fastest here. It is what we recommend for anyone who shuts the house up for months.
Vertical and screen blinds
- What we do
- Fabric that drops vertically over an opening to block the low afternoon sun.
- How we do it
- We use technical screen fabric, which filters the heat and glare while you can still see out through it. It is the only effective answer to the western sun, which comes in almost horizontally.
Sliding or sail shade
- What we do
- Lightweight shade over courtyards, pool areas and gardens.
- How we do it
- The fabric runs on tensioned cables and pulls back to one side in seconds. It is the option when there is nothing to anchor a pergola to, or when the budget will not stretch to one.
Fabric replacement
- What we do
- Renewing the fabric while keeping the existing frame and arms.
- How we do it
- The sun here fades and stiffens the fabric long before the hardware gives up. If the frame is sound, replacing the fabric alone brings the awning back to new for a fraction of the outlay.
Motorisation, lighting and installation
Remote or app control
- What we do
- Opening and closing louvres or awning without winding a handle.
- How we do it
- We fit a tubular motor with a remote or app control, and take care of the supply and its protection. For non-resident owners it means you can set the pergola closed while the house sits empty.
Wind and rain sensors
- What we do
- Automatic retraction of the awning or closing of louvres in bad weather.
- How we do it
- The anemometer rolls the fabric in the moment a gust passes the threshold, with nobody at home. It is what saves an awning when a levante storm blows through and you are a thousand miles away.
Integrated LED lighting
- What we do
- Lighting built into the structure so the terrace works after dark.
- How we do it
- We fit LED strip or spots into the perimeter beam, dimmable and rated for outdoor exposure. The wiring runs concealed inside the profile, with no surface trunking.
Fixings and foundations
- What we do
- Anchoring sized for the wind at your particular spot.
- How we do it
- On a slab we use a base plate and resin anchors; in a garden, a concrete pad with holding-down bolts. On a waterproofed terrace each fixing goes through a sealed sleeve so the membrane is not compromised.
Servicing and maintenance
- What we do
- Periodic checks of louvres, arms, motor and drainage.
- How we do it
- We clear the louvre channels and the post drains, which clog with leaves and Saharan dust, and check arm tension and fixings. We schedule the visit ahead of each season.

Pergolas and Awnings: frequently asked questions in Alicante
How much does a bioclimatic pergola cost in Alicante?
The price depends on the dimensions, the type of structure, extras such as LED lighting or motorisation, and how demanding the fixings are. Every shade project is different, so we fix the price after the visit. Request a free, no-obligation quote.
What is the difference between a bioclimatic pergola and an awning?
A bioclimatic pergola is a fixed structure with adjustable louvres that controls sun, shade and airflow and sheds rain. An awning is a lighter, cheaper retractable fabric solution. We recommend one or the other based on use, budget and how exposed the spot is.
Do they cope with coastal wind and sun?
Yes. We use aluminium and technical fabrics made for intense sun and sea breeze, and we size the fixings to the wind exposure of each terrace. Motorised pergolas and awnings can include a sensor that retracts them automatically in strong wind.
Do I need a licence to install a pergola?
It depends on the town and on whether the pergola is fixed or demountable. In many cases an attached pergola needs a minor-works licence. We explain the paperwork that is usually required and can help you handle it so everything is above board.
Can it be motorised and lit?
Yes. We add motorisation with a remote or app to open and close the louvres or retract the awning, plus LED lighting so you can use the space at night. We define exactly what you want in the quote.
