Our electric pergolas
How does an electric pergola work?
An electric pergola uses a motor to operate the shading. This lets you adjust the shade without operating the system manually. STERK helps you choose the controls and checks the connection and cable route so the technology suits your patio and how you use it.
Electric pergola maintenance and lifespan
Keep the movement area clear and do not force the motor if the shading becomes blocked. Follow the maintenance instructions for the fabric and guides. If the controls behave differently than usual, have the cause assessed. Do not open the motor or electrical parts yourself, and use only compatible controls.
Electric pergola warranty and service
We discuss in advance which warranty terms apply to your pergola, chosen model and installation. STERK remains your point of contact for questions about operation, maintenance or service. Keep the quote and product information so the arrangements for your solution remain clear.
Frequently asked questions about electric pergolas
When is electric operation useful?
Electric operation is especially practical when you open and close the shading often or it is difficult to reach. It is about everyday convenience, not adding as many features as possible. STERK discusses the controls you need and what is compatible with your chosen system.
Can every pergola be fitted with electric operation?
That depends on the structure and shading system. First explore our pergolas, then discuss the controls for the model you want. We confirm what is available in advance so you do not expect a motor or function that the model does not offer.
Can I choose between remote control and a wall switch?
Options differ by motor and system. We discuss how you want to operate the pergola and where the controls should be easy to reach. We then check which options are actually compatible. After installation, we explain how to use the selected model.
Is electric operation suitable for a sliding roof?
That may be possible with a suitable model. For a pergola with a sliding roof, we consider the roof’s movement, connection and adjustment. The controls must work with the structure and must not be used to force past a blockage.
Do I need a power point by my patio?
The connection must suit the chosen installation. STERK will check the available power supply and cable route and discuss any preparation needed. Do not use an improvised solution just because there is a socket nearby; agree the installation details in advance.
Can an electric pergola also provide rain protection?
Electric operation does not mean that it is waterproof. For that, explore our waterproof pergolas. The fabric, drainage and use of the complete system determine what is possible in the rain. We discuss these properties separately from the motorised controls.
Can the controls be included in a made-to-measure solution?
Yes, with a made-to-measure pergola, we can discuss dimensions and use together. The connection, position of the controls and any additional features can all be considered straight away. This makes the technology part of the plan rather than a late addition.
What should I do if the pergola stops responding?
Only check the normal operating steps in the manual and do not force anything. Do not open the motor or connection. Contact STERK with a description of the issue so we can assess what checks or service your system needs.
