By making your custom made tarpaulin 100% Made in France with Direct Tarpaulins, you value a French company and more generally the French industry. You also make a responsible purchase because your tarpaulin will have travelled fewer kilometers before arriving at your home than if it was manufactured abroad. This reduces the final carbon footprint of your tarpaulin. 

A strong and resistant custom cover for pergola

Our custom pergola covers are very robust. Designed with a high-end material, PVC, they have a high durability over time with a protection far greater than 10 years for intensive use.. 

Unlike traditional shade sails, they are perfectly waterproof and rot-proof and will protect you effectively even when the weather conditions are particularly difficult (rain, snow, wind, etc.). Also very resistant to the sun, since they benefit from important Anti-UV treatments of at least 5%. In addition to excellent aging, the treatment prevents discoloration of the tarpaulin (due to sunlight).

They benefit from unequalled mechanical resistance and are perfectly tear-proof. 

Available in several thicknesses, these heavy tarpaulins on measure will guarantee you an ultra effective protection. Each of them has characteristics allowing them to increase their resistance even more: heat-sealed hems, eyelets every 25cm, very close polyester mesh, surface treatments, varnishes, etc.

How to measure your custom pergola canvas?

Small tip if you want to know the dimensions of tarpaulin necessary to cover your pergola: you just have to measure the space between the uprights of your pergola. 

To do this, extend a thread/string from edge to edge along and across your pergola and measure the/the. For a classic installation, it is necessary to remove about 3 cm from each side to these measurements. However, this is not a universal truth since many customers choose to put the tarpaulin closer to the amounts, on the amounts and sometimes even beyond the amounts.

The installation of your pergola cover? A real breeze!

Our custom pergola covers are very easy to install on a wide range of arbors and pergolas: freestanding pergolas, leaning pergolas, curved pergolas, flat pergolas, straight pergolas, wave pergolas… They adapt to many forms of pergola and also to many materials, since it blends perfectly with the different structures of arbors and pergola, whether designed in wood, aluminum, steel or PVC. Do not hesitate to send us any information, photographs or design plans concerning your pergola structure so that we can study the feasibility of your project.

How to attach your custom pergola cover?

You can choose between several fastening systems to fix your pergola cover.

Our elastic sandow is the most popular of them. Of professional quality, with its thickness of 9 mm, it allows to fix your tarpaulin quickly and easily. It will allow you to keep your tarpaulin secure and durable. Available in several lengths and colors. Thanks to the metal eyelets arranged on the perimeter of the tarpaulin, the sandow is passed through these eyelets and then rolled up and fixed to the structure.

The cover is clad above the pergola, forming a stretched roof, perfectly adapted to the structure. Thus it does not float in the wind and offers less mechanical resistance in case of gusts.
