The Motion (Manual) Pergola

The Motion pergola embodies the principle that exceptional design doesn't require complexity. Built around a patented mechanical rotation mechanism housed discreetly within the vertical posts, this manually operated system allows you to adjust the louvred roof panels up to 90° with a simple pull-down handle. Whether you're looking to create dappled shade on a sunny afternoon or open the roof completely to enjoy clear skies, the Motion responds instantly to your needs.

The Motion provides reliable protection from both intense sunshine and unexpected showers. The hidden drainage system channels rainwater discreetly through the aluminium posts, keeping your outdoor space dry and usable year-round. Available in four standard sizes - 3m×3m, 4m×3m, 4m×4m, and 4m×5m - the Motion delivers flexible, weather-resistant coverage tailored to your space.

Perfect for homeowners who appreciate hands-on control and commercial venues seeking a low-maintenance yet sophisticated shading solution, the Motion brings 160 years of James Robertshaw expertise to every installation. Its clean, minimalist aesthetic complements both contemporary and traditional architecture, whilst the manually operated system eliminates ongoing electrical costs and potential technical complications.

Price range: From £4,415
