The warmth of timber overhead, with none of the upkeep. Composite-coated aluminium beams, low maintenance, with your choice of polycarbonate or retractable roofing.
Free site visit · Lifetime corrosion guarantee · 3–5 week lead time
A composite pergola gives you the warm, natural appearance of timber overhead, without any of the maintenance. The beams are composite-coated aluminium: an authentic wood-grain surface over a structural aluminium core. No painting, no sanding, no sealing, ever. Posts and carriers are powder-coated aluminium, so the whole structure shrugs off rust, rot and warping.
Roof it your way: fixed multiwall polycarbonate for a permanent, fully weatherproof covered room, or a retractable shearweave system for shade on demand and open sky when you want it. Freestanding or wall-attached, with lighting, fans and screens designed in.
Same wood-look composite beams. The difference is what goes overhead. Choose permanent cover or shade on demand.
A fixed, architectural-grade panel for a permanent covered outdoor room with filtered natural light.
An open-weave technical fabric on a track. Draw it across for shade, retract it for open sky.

Composite-coated aluminium beams carry an authentic timber grain overhead. You get the warmth of wood for a contemporary or classic home, without the colour fade and cracking real timber suffers in the Cape sun.
The composite coating never needs painting, sanding or sealing. There's no annual upkeep, just an occasional rinse. It looks new for years while real timber would already need re-oiling.
Under the composite finish, the structure is aluminium, with powder-coated posts and carriers. That means coastal corrosion resistance and the strength to span without bulky timber sections.
Pair the warm beams with fixed polycarbonate for a permanent weatherproof room, or retractable shearweave for shade on demand. Freestanding or wall-attached, with extras designed in.
Real timber warps, greys and cracks in coastal sun and salt air, and demands sanding and sealing every year. A composite pergola gives you the same warmth with an aluminium core and a composite coating that simply doesn't.

What a fantastic experience. The new louvre awning has made such a difference to our outdoor space and has honestly exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail during the installation was excellent, and the whole team was friendly, respectful, and easy to deal with. It looks like it was always meant to be part of the house. Thank you for a job well done!
We were looking for a modern, low-maintenance patio cover that suited our home in Stellenbosch, and this was exactly what we wanted. The finish is beautiful, the installation was neat, and communication throughout the project was excellent. It’s given us a space we can enjoy all year round. We would definitely use Aluminium Awnings again.
Aluminium Awnings Cape Town enclosed our Constantia patio with a manual louvre roof, full white, with aluminium doors and windows all round, and it's honestly become our favourite part of the house. We use it right through winter now. The rain and the wind don't get in, and it's so easy to wind the louvres open when the sun comes out. Neat, tidy install with a friendly team, and the white finish looks really clean against the house. Couldn't be happier, highly recommend.
Ryan and his team were awesome and really went the extra mile to make our awning perfect! Can definitely recommend them!
Very happy with the replacement of our awning after it got damaged in the May storm. More sturdy and stronger
We recently had a louvre awning installed by Aluminium Awnings at our home in Durbanville, and we’re so pleased with the result. The quality of the workmanship is excellent, and the finished product has completely transformed our outdoor space. The team was professional, arrived on time, and kept us informed throughout the installation. We looked at a few different companies before deciding, and we’re really glad we chose Aluminium Awnings. If you’re considering louvre awnings in Cape Town, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Aluminium Awnings is so professional from start to finish. They make the process easy and understandable from day 1. The quality of their work is outstanding, we are so happy! I highly recommend them!
Absolutely thrilled with our new louvre awning from Aluminium Awnings. From start to finish, the service was professional, the installation was neat, and the finished product looks incredible. We’re based in Blouberg, so we wanted something that would work well with the coastal conditions and strong winds, while still giving us control over the sunlight and shade. The louvre awning has completely transformed the outside area and the quality of the aluminium structure and finish is excellent. Would definitely recommend Aluminium Awnings to anyone in Blouberg or Cape Town looking for a quality louvre awning. Very happy with the end result!
