Timber Pergolas
Classic slatted pergolas that give dappled shade. They match timber decks well. Climbing plants or fabric can add more shade.

A deck without shade sits empty for most of the year in Dubai. Adding a pergola, louvred roof, shade sail or canopy turns it into a space you can use from morning coffee to evening dinner. We design and fix shade structures securely to new and existing decks.
01 / Shade Options
Classic slatted pergolas that give dappled shade. They match timber decks well. Climbing plants or fabric can add more shade.
Powder-coated frames that never rot or need oiling. Slim profiles suit modern villas. Lighting and fans can be built in.
Adjustable aluminium blades that open for air or close for full shade and rain. Motorised options are available. They are the most flexible choice.
Tensioned fabric sails and retractable canopies. They give strong UV protection at lower cost. Fabrics are chosen for Dubai sun.

Shade Over Decks
Shade makes a Dubai deck usable for much more of the year.
We add pergolas, louvred roofs, shade sails and canopies fixed securely to the deck.
A pergola carries real wind loads. Posts must sit on proper footings through the deck or be bolted to the deck frame where it is strong enough. We never fix pergola posts to deck boards alone.
Shade sails pull hard on their fixing points, especially during shamal winds. Anchor posts and wall fixings are sized for the sail, and sails are tensioned so they do not flap and wear.
For free-standing pergolas, see outdoor woodwork. For a new deck under the pergola, see new deck construction, and for hammocks, hammock installation.

A stain adds colour and UV protection, while a sealer repels water without changing the colour much. Many deck oils do both. In Dubai's sun, a pigmented stain or oil lasts longer than a clear sealer.
In Dubai, timber decks usually need re-oiling or re-staining every 6 to 12 months because of strong UV. If water no longer beads on the surface or the colour has turned grey, it is time. WPC decks do not need staining, only cleaning.
Start by finding the cause: rotten boards, loose screws, a failed joist or a sinking support. Damaged boards are replaced, joists sistered or replaced, fixings renewed and the deck then cleaned and sealed.
Most deck pergolas take two to five days on site after approval and fabrication.
