Maximum Light. Simple Control. Practical Outdoor Living.

The Celtic Leisure Starlight Retractable Pergola is designed for homeowners who want the flexibility of a retractable roof without the complexity of electric systems.

Manually operated and engineered for reliability, Starlight offers a smart balance of performance, durability and value — making it ideal for everyday outdoor living and commercial-level use.

A Retractable Roof Designed to Let More Light In

What sets the Starlight pergola apart is its specially designed retractable roof system.

Unlike many retractable pergolas, the Starlight roof has been engineered to retract further, allowing a greater opening above your space. This means:

More natural light reaching your garden and home
A brighter feel inside adjoining rooms
Greater flexibility between open and covered use

It’s the perfect solution for customers who want to enjoy sunlight when conditions allow, while still having shelter available when needed.

Manual Operation for Reliability and Value

The Starlight pergola uses a manual retractable roof system, avoiding motors, wiring and electrical components.

This offers several benefits:

Simple, dependable operation
Reduced maintenance concerns
No electrical installation required
A more accessible price point compared to motorised pergolas

The result is a robust, user-friendly pergola that performs reliably year after year.

Integrated LED Lighting

Starlight includes integrated LED lighting, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space into the evening.

The discreet lighting adds ambience without compromising the pergola’s clean, modern appearance, making it suitable for dining, entertaining or relaxing after sunset.

Durable Aluminium Construction

Constructed from powder-coated aluminium, the Starlight pergola offers excellent durability with minimal upkeep.

Aluminium does not rot or require staining, making it a practical, low-maintenance choice for outdoor structures exposed to the elements.
