Fully powder-coated aluminium pergolas with your choice of fixed polycarbonate or retractable shearweave roofing. Freestanding or wall-attached, custom-built for the Western Cape coast.
Free site visit · Lifetime corrosion guarantee · 3–5 week lead time
An extruded aluminium pergola is a permanent outdoor structure (posts, beams and rafters) fabricated entirely from powder-coated aluminium. Every beam, post and carrier is the same powder-coated aluminium in a matching colour, for a sharp, architectural, uniform finish. No timber to warp, rot or repaint.
Then you choose how it's roofed: fixed multiwall polycarbonate for a permanent, fully weatherproof covered room, or a retractable shearweave system that draws across for shade and opens to reveal the sky. Both come freestanding or wall-attached, and both can be built with lighting, fans, screens and concealed gutters designed in.
Same fully powder-coated aluminium frame. The difference is what goes overhead: 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.

Aluminium naturally resists moisture, salt air and rust, so there is no annual maintenance. The powder-coat finish adds a further layer of UV and corrosion protection engineered for the Western Cape coast, backed by a lifetime corrosion guarantee.
Aluminium delivers structural strength with slimmer profiles than timber or steel and no heavy beams. The result is an elegant, minimal frame, ideal for contemporary homes, glass façades and poolside areas.
Attach it to the house wall to extend the patio line, or stand it freely over a pool surround, dining area or courtyard. We assess the best configuration on site.
LED downlights, fans, drop screens, side enclosures and concealed gutters are built in during fabrication, with wiring routed invisibly through the frame, not bolted on afterwards.
Every section is powder-coated aluminium with stainless fasteners, specified for Atlantic salt air, the south-easter and intense UV. No rust, no rot, no repainting.
Custom-fabricated in-house to your exact dimensions and installed by our own crew, then backed by our full set of guarantees.

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!
