90° pergolas

Zenit

Zenit: a 90° pergola that shapes the light.

Zenit

A folding blackout roof on a square frame, ready for Zip screens, glass and LED lighting.

Comfort and light

Open the roof to the sun, close it against the rain, and light the space as the evening draws in.

Features

Zenit has horizontal beams at right angles to the posts, so no slope is needed. Curved cloth profiles send rain to the perimeter gutter and down inside the posts, and the raised edge of the frame keeps splashes out. It can stand on its own, lean against a wall or be fixed to it.

Active Shade backs this pergola with a 5-year warranty. The full terms are set out in the use and maintenance manual supplied with every product.

Patents

Patented assembly system. Parts leave the factory pre-assembled and fully machined, so the pergola goes up in a few simple steps: quickly, and with consistent installation quality.

Lets the drive shaft be connected quickly and easily to the gears that pass the movement on to the pulleys.

Each cloth is made as a separate panel edged with a lipped seal that slots into the windbreak bar, where a second seal is pressed in to lock it. The joint is practically watertight, and a damaged cloth can be replaced on its own in minutes, without taking the whole roof apart.

The perimeter frame has a raised, hinged edge that stops rainwater running off the cover from splashing into the pergola as it drops into the gutter.

A spring-loaded bayonet fitting clips each windbreak bar to its sliding carriage with no screws to tighten. The all-aluminium support and stainless-steel bearings keep the connection secure even under heavy loads or ice, and make installation and servicing quicker.

Certifications
