Pros and Cons of Flyover Pergolas
Posted by: Admin

This design can be very functional when extra height is required but can also be an aesthetic feature.

Pros:

• We can achieve approximately 500mm above existing house gutter in height. 
• Great for caravans, boats, motor homes.
• Creates added air flow.
• Extra height allows for installation of fans etc.
• Greater access for machinery to enter rear of property.
• Allows for storm water to be directed onto existing tiled roof when stormwater is inaccessible.

Cons:

• Penetration of existing house roof in our opinion should be avoided if possible.
• Unable to control stormwater coming in under pergola in extreme weather as house gutters overflow.
• It is difficult to create a seamless connection to the profile of the house.
