Pergola Collection
Below are listed our collection of aluminium pergolas, and our steel pergola. They are categorised, from good, better & best.
Manual Retractable Roof
Starlight
NEW - Aluminium Pergola - Ultra Compact Retractable Roof System
NEW - Starlight Retractable Roof
Unlike traditional retractable pergolas that bunch into a bulky stack when opened, the Starlight features a specially engineered corrugated roof design that allows the panels to concertina neatly into a compact 30cm stack.
This means:
- Significantly more open sky when retracted
- A cleaner, less intrusive roofline
- A more refined architectural appearance
- Better light flow into the space
Most retractable systems require up to twice the stacking space. Starlight’s intelligent roof profile reduces this dramatically — delivering a truly open feel when fully retracted.
Waterproof pergolas?
Yes — if you choose the right roof.
Saturn is our dedicated waterproof roof pergola
Often not required in the UK, subject to size and location.

Pergola FAQ
Are pergolas waterproof?
Not all pergolas are fully waterproof. Many pergolas are designed primarily to provide shade rather than complete rain protection.
If staying dry is important, it’s essential to choose a pergola with a roof designed to be waterproof.
Within the Celtic Leisure range, Saturn is our dedicated waterproof roof pergola, making it suitable for outdoor dining and seating areas where reliable cover is required.
Which Celtic Leisure pergola is waterproof?
The Saturn Aluminium Pergola is designed with a fixed waterproof roof, offering dependable protection from rain and allowing year-round outdoor use.
Other models in the range offer shade, flexibility or adjustable roofs, but Saturn is the recommended choice when waterproof performance is the priority.
Do I need planning permission for a pergola in the UK?
In many cases, a pergola can be installed under permitted development, meaning planning permission is often not required.
However, this can depend on factors such as:
- Height of the structure
- Position within the garden
- Whether the property is listed
- Whether the property is in a conservation area
If you’re unsure, we recommend checking with your local authority before installation.
Are pergolas suitable for the UK climate?
Yes — when designed properly.
Celtic Leisure pergolas are designed for UK gardens and weather conditions, using durable materials such as aluminium and galvanised steel with protective powder-coated finishes.
Aluminium pergolas are particularly well suited to the UK as they do not rot, warp or require regular treatment like timber.
What is the difference between aluminium and steel pergolas?
Aluminium pergolas are:
- Lightweight but strong
- Low maintenance
- Resistant to rust
- Ideal for long-term outdoor living
Steel pergolas are:
- Strong and cost-effective
- Well suited to entry-level use
- Protected through galvanising and powder coating
Both materials have their place — the best choice depends on budget, use and expectations.
Which pergola is best for letting light into my home?
If maximising natural light is important, a pergola with an adjustable or retractable roof is ideal.
The Starlight Retractable Pergola has been designed so the roof retracts further than many pergolas, allowing more sunlight into the garden and adjoining rooms when open.
Do pergolas require a lot of maintenance?
Celtic Leisure pergolas are designed to be low maintenance.
Aluminium pergolas require only occasional cleaning to maintain their appearance.
Steel pergolas benefit from protective coatings to help guard against corrosion and everyday outdoor exposure.
No regular staining or sealing is required.
What warranties do Celtic Leisure pergolas come with?
Warranty coverage varies by model and reflects the specification of each pergola.
Across the range, warranties cover elements such as:
- Paint finish
- Parts
- Structural components
Full warranty details are listed on individual product pages.
