Already have an open pergola?

Keep the frame. Add the cover.

Where the existing structure is suitable, Clearview roofing can be added without rebuilding the whole pergola. We check its condition, connections and drainage first.

Fit & budget

Right for your patio.
Within your plans.

A good starting point when…

You want fixed rain cover while keeping the patio and adjoining home bright and visually open.

Consider another roof when…

Strong shade, adjustable ventilation, an opening roof or a fully enclosed room matters more.

The complete Clearview system

One roof, configured for your home.

Transparent panels, supporting structure and water management, planned together for your site.

Illustrative Clearview roof configuration with transparent panels, supporting frame, front posts and gutter edge
Illustrative configuration. Connections and post positions vary by site.

What makes up the system

Solid polycarbonate roof panels, aluminium framing, roof fall and an integrated front gutter.

What we confirm at your site

House attachment, spans, posts, existing structure, downpipe connection, access and any engineering or approval requirements.

The written quote specifies inclusions and any additional work before fabrication.

Attached or freestanding? →
Choose your daylight

Clear or tinted panels.

3 mm solid polycarbonate. The final choice is confirmed with samples.

Clear ≈85%

Approximate light transmission. Prioritises daylight beside the home.

Tinted ≈65%

Approximate light transmission. A softer, lower-light appearance.

UV protection is not a measure of summer heat comfort. Orientation, shade and ventilation also matter. Compare panels →

How the gutter and drainage work

Integrated gutter. Planned drainage.

Roof fall directs water into a gutter channel built into the front frame. The outlet, downpipe and final discharge connection are configured for the measured home.

The demonstration shows the water path; it does not represent project-specific rainfall capacity.

Materials, impact demonstration and care

Materials: 3 mm solid flat polycarbonate with 1.5–2.5 mm aluminium alloy framing across the range. The gauge is selected for the measured structure.

99%+ UV protection. Expected serviceable panel life of 20+ years assumes appropriate installation and care; this is separate from warranty.

Material-level comparison: up to approximately 250× the impact resistance of comparable glass and about 50% lighter. Based on technical data for the panel product specified in the quote.

Practical demonstration only—not a laboratory or completed-roof structural test. It does not establish walkability, hail certification or roof-load capacity.

A few more questions

Before you decide.

Practical details to help you plan your patio.

Can my existing pergola be covered? →
Will a clear roof feel hot in summer?

Clear panels prioritise daylight. Tinted panels reduce visible light, but orientation, ventilation, roof height and surrounding shade also affect comfort. UV protection alone is not a measure of heat performance. Read the comfort and weather guide.

Will I need engineering or council approval?

Requirements depend on the structure, attachment and site. Alpoco identifies likely requirements during scope review and confirms next steps before installation is scheduled.

How soon can my roof be installed?

We normally reply to an initial enquiry within two business days. Fabrication and installation timing depend on the measured scope and any approvals, and are confirmed in the written quote.

What does the warranty cover?

Your written quote identifies the components covered by the one-year labour warranty and three-year materials warranty, along with relevant conditions and exclusions. Expected service life is separate from warranty.

How do I look after the roof?

Cleaning access, nearby trees and roof pitch affect maintenance. Project-specific care guidance is supplied with your roof. Read the cleaning guide. Any later blinds or lighting should be assessed against the installed structure before work begins.
