Motorized Pergolas in Dubai & Across the UAE
Tap a button and enjoy instant shade—or open sky. Our motorized pergola systems (a true automated pergola system) use quiet, outdoor-rated motors to move louvered or retractable roofs smoothly into place. They’re engineered for the UAE climate and tailored for villas, rooftops, cafés, and hotels—ideal if you’re comparing electric pergola Dubai options that look clean and work every day.
Frames are architectural-grade aluminium, powder-coated for harsh sun, dust, and humidity. Cables are hidden, finishes are premium, and controls are simple: remote, app, or voice. If you want a motorized louvered pergola that delivers comfort on demand, this is it.
Why Choose a Motorized Pergola in Dubai
- Comfort on demand: one press for shade, airflow, or full cover—no cranks, no effort.
- Automation: add wind, sun, and rain sensors so the roof adjusts itself safely—hands-free automated pergola system convenience.
- Built for the UAE: rigid aluminium profiles and outdoor hardware resist heat and corrosion—your modern pergola stays looking new.
- Clean design: slim lines, hidden fasteners, integrated lighting and cable runs.
- Made to fit: freestanding or attached; single or multi-bay spans for large terraces.
How the Motorized Roof Works
The drive system moves either rotating louvers (a motorized louvered pergola) for precise light and ventilation, or sliding panels (a retractable pergola roof) for wide, open sky. You can stop anywhere, save scenes, and control lighting from the same remote.
- Louvered roof: tilt from open to fully closed for rain protection and glare control.
- Retractable roof: panels stack to open; close for full shade and cover.
- Quiet motors: smooth, low-noise movement—ideal for homes and hospitality.
- Service access: protected manual override options if a technician ever needs them.
Controls: Remote, App & Voice
Every system ships with a handheld remote. Many clients also choose an app for scheduling and scenes, plus optional voice with Alexa/Google—exactly what most people mean by a smart, automated pergola system.
- Remote: open/close/tilt and lighting on dedicated buttons.
- App control: phone scheduling, status view, and scenes (e.g., “Sunset”, “Lunch”).
- Voice: “Open pergola 40%” or “Turn on pergola lights”.

- Rain sensor: auto-close to keep furniture and decking dry.
- Aluminum frame
- Smart Control
- Customizable
- Motorized
- Waterproofing

Pricing: What Affects Cost?
Final cost depends on size, mounting (freestanding vs attached), louvered vs retractable roof, controls (remote/app/voice), sensors, lighting, and any add-ons (screens, heaters, misting). Larger spans and multi-bay modules need heavier profiles and more motors. We’ll show clear options at different budgets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a motorized pergola noisy?
No. We use quiet, outdoor-rated drives with smooth starts/stops—ideal for homes and hospitality.
Can I control it from my phone?
Yes. Remote is standard; app control adds scheduling and scenes. Voice with Alexa/Google is also available. See Remote-Control Pergola.
Which roof should I choose—louvered or retractable?
Motorized louvered pergola = precise light/air + rain protection when closed. Retractable pergola roof = wide open sky when stacked. We advise based on span, exposure, and the look you want.
What happens in strong wind or rain?
With sensors, wind/rain thresholds can auto-close or adjust. We size anchors and spans for your site and commission safe settings.
Do you install on rooftops?
Yes. We confirm fixing points (beam/slab), check clearances, and tune sensor thresholds for rooftops and coastal areas.
Can I add glass, screens, or heaters later?
Yes. Many clients start with pergola + lighting and add frameless glass, screens, or heaters later. We can pre-wire for future add-ons.
How long does installation take?
After approval, fabrication has a short lead time; on-site installation is usually 1–3 days per bay depending on size and access.
