If you’re planning a decking project, or you already have one installed, you will no doubt have noticed that no matter how attractive the structure, it has zero protection against the variables of the Great British weather. Without a cover, you and your decking are at the mercy of the elements.
The answer? A strong, substantial aluminium pergola that looks great, protects you against wind, rain and sun and provides the perfect spot for you to eat, entertain or simply relax and unwind after a long day
Here, we present five superbly engineered aluminium louvered pergola designs, perfect for decking protection. Each of our Outdoor Living Pods is built for comfort, durability and visual appeal – with precision-engineered louvres, effortless motorised operation and a wide choice of optional extras like lighting, heating and side screens:
-
Classic Lite Outdoor Living Pod
If you are looking for a sleek and affordable way to cover your deck, the Classic Lite Outdoor Living Pod is an excellent starting point. Its motorised louvred roof tilts smoothly to provide adjustable shade and weather protection, helping you stay cool when the sun is strong and dry when the rain arrives. The Classic Lite is prefabricated in six set sizes (from 3m x 3m up to 5.94 m x 4.5m) and is a quality pergola for homeowners who can work within one of the set sizes.

Classic Outdoor Living Pod
The Classic Outdoor Living Pod is the most popular in the Caribbean Blinds collection, combining elegance and practicality in equal measure. Its robust aluminium frame and motorised roof create a versatile cover that adapts to changing weather at the touch of a button. Made to measure for almost all UK terraces, it can be wall-mounted or freestanding, making it a great fit for almost any layout. Integrated lighting and optional side screens extend its use long into the evening, turning your decking space into a comfortable all-weather retreat.
-
Deluxe Outdoor Living Pod
For larger deck areas or those who love to entertain, the Deluxe Outdoor Living Pod delivers unmatched flexibility. Available as a freestanding pergola, lean-to or integrated structure, it can also be linked to cover wide expanses, making ideal for homes with extensive decking or adjoining garden zones. The motorised louvres rotate to manage sunlight and airflow, ensuring your outdoor living room remains comfortable throughout the day.
-
Deluxe + Outdoor Living Pod
The Deluxe + Outdoor Living Pod introduces a striking architectural twist. Combining both a fixed roof of either glass or solid panels and rotating louvers, it offers a clever balance of openness and protection. Sunlight filters beautifully through the glass, while the adjustable louvers allow you to control shade precisely where needed. This makes it an inspired choice for a multi-purpose deck area featuring an outdoor kitchen or dining room setup.
-
Prestige Outdoor Living Pod
The top of the range Prestige Outdoor Living Pod delivers the ultimate in design freedom. Its fully retractable louvres glide back completely, transforming the space from enclosed comfort to open-air freedom in seconds. The Prestige Pod is perfect for those who want the best in both function, and form and on a raised deck area it becomes a stunning focal point.
Each of these pergola designs can be tailored to your taste, from subtle frame colours to integrated LED lighting and concealed side screens for extra shade and privacy. Whatever your preferred style, a Caribbean Blinds Outdoor Living Pod is the classiest way to turn an ordinary deck into a great spot for outdoor living.
