Solara Aluminium Glass Roof Pergola
A Contemporary Fixed Glass Roof for Patios & Terraces
The Solara is a fixed-roof aluminium pergola with a contemporary cubic design and reinforced safety-glass roofing.
Its substantial aluminium structure allows wide roof openings with fewer supporting posts, helping to maintain clear views across the garden. Integrated rainwater drainage and LED gutter lighting are incorporated into the design.
Available in wall-mounted and potentially freestanding configurations, subject to the manufacturer’s installation specifications, the Solara provides a permanent covered area for outdoor seating and dining.
SOLARA GLASS ROOF PERGOLA
A Wide-Span Glass Roof with a Minimalist Aluminium Frame
The Solara combines a reinforced aluminium frame with a fixed glass roof, creating a covered patio without substantially restricting natural daylight.
Its straight gutter profile and square supporting posts give the structure a clean, architectural appearance. The reinforced frame is designed to accommodate wider roof spans, reducing the need for intermediate posts in suitable configurations.
With a choice of powder-coated aluminium finishes, integrated drainage and built-in LED gutter lighting, the Solara offers a permanent roof solution for contemporary and traditional properties alike.
Key Features:
Fixed reinforced safety-glass roof
Powder-coated aluminium frame
Contemporary cubic roof profile
Straight integrated gutter
150 × 150 mm square supporting posts
Wide-span configurations, subject to structural requirements
Integrated LED gutter lighting as standard
Choice of three aluminium finishes
Optional compatible side enclosures, subject to confirmation
A Permanent Roof for Modern Outdoor Spaces
The Solara’s cubic design provides a modern alternative to traditional sloping-roof pergolas. Its clean roofline can work particularly well alongside contemporary extensions, large glazed doors and properties where a simple architectural finish is preferred.
Although the roof has a flat appearance, rainwater is managed through the structure’s integrated guttering system. LED lighting is incorporated into the gutter profile as standard, providing illumination beneath the covered area after dark.
The final height, projection, supporting post arrangement and fixing method are determined by the dimensions of the pergola and the requirements of the installation.

Reinforced Aluminium Construction & Safety-Glass Roofing
The Solara is constructed from powder-coated aluminium, with 150 × 150 mm square supporting posts and a reinforced safety-glass roof.
Its structural design allows larger roof openings than many conventional patio covers, although the permitted span and number of posts depend on the selected dimensions, site conditions and manufacturer’s requirements.
Before installation, we assess the proposed fixing position, foundations, finished ground levels and rainwater drainage arrangements. Any associated patio construction or landscaping can be included within the agreed scope of work.

Mike Grubb
The Verdant Landscapes Ltd team transformed our garden from a poorly utilised vegetable patch to raised beds with a solid base for a greenhouse. Over 4 days they put in a compacted base, built oak framed raised beds and cut in all the paving slabs to provide a path around the entire area before finally filling the beds with new topsoil. We’re very pleased with the transformation. We would happily use Verdant Landscapes again for future projects as they took real care with their work.

I CAN’T recommend Verdant Landscapes enough. This was the second project they have done for me and thanks to the team they have delivered me my dream outdoor kitchen. I’ve wanted this for years and couldn’t be happier to have it and to have been finished to such a high standard. They replaced the steps to my house, the front patio, laid stones down the side, a new patio to the rear and raised patio complete with the outdoor kitchen. Quality of work is faultless and also an exceptionally nice team of guys that do the work that are a pleasure to have over.
Thanks so much 🙏
Robin Carder
Excellent experience all round.
Tom delivered a professional quote in line with other companies. We were scheduled at quick notice and despite weather delays we were regularly updated.
The team took great care and craftsmanship and were a pleasure to have around. Very neat and tidy..
Job- replace sleeper wall and 5 fence panels
Matt & Rose Arneaud
Absolutely superb effort and end result for our garden re-design project.
Couldn’t have been happier with the team that Tom had in place. On time everyday and worked solid days to get it completed on time. No issues or dramas, just a great experienced team who knew what needed to be done and got it done. The finished result was 10/10, and could not have asked for anything more.
It’s tricky when selecting builders for big jobs like this, but Tom demonstrated knowledge and confidence from the outset and proved it when he brought the team along.
The team at Verdant replaced a stone patio from our new build developers with a stunning Porcelain tile as well as created a new secondary patio around our garden office, and levelled all the grounds finishing with a an amazing premium quality artificial grass. Finished off with a top class veranda to give us plenty of shade and shelter from the rain! It was a big job, but they delivered and completed in under 2 weeks, which was astonishing.
Thank you Tom and Team, absolutely great job and would 100% recommend again and again.
Gail Deason

The team came and replaced an old fence with brand new one and also created a new decking area for me.
The team were so friendly and very hard working.
I would definitely recommend them and will be asking them back for future work that needs doing.
Charlie Clements
I highly recommend Tom and his team, they were amazing from start to finish.
Friendly and hard-working with a great customer focus and an eye to the smallest detail.
Nothing was too much trouble and they left the area tidy and clean eaxh day which was important to us and our pet.
The whole family is over the moon to finally have a useable garden to enjoy for the summer. Would highly recommend!

Tom and the team have completely transformed our garden! The result is amazing, we are so pleased and can't thank them enough. The whole team are both thoroughly professional and friendly and understanding, working tirelessly in transforming our vision into reality. Can't recommend them enough! Thank you team Verdant!
Angela Tolley
Well what can I say from start to finish these guys have been amazing!
Sean firstly, relaxed but professional on the first call and very quick at arranging a visit to look at the work to be done.
First meeting very friendly and put me at ease straight away.
There was lots of phone calls regarding work/quotes and questions and he took it all in his stride.
Part of the reason we decide on theses guys to do the job was that they gave us the clearest idea of what the garden was going to look like once finished.
After deciding on the company to do the work we meet Tom who over saw the whole job, and yes he was there everyday of the 6 week long transformation! Again professional, friendly and knowledgeable.
The team was made up with 2 more friendly chaps John and feluke and three worked none stop over the whole of the job, always there to answer my many questions and reassure me and my husband along the way. We cannot thank them enough for all there hard work and would recommend them to anyone!
They finished the job and the property was left spotless ( eg drive/ garage etc) great work and now to enjoy the summer!
Sarah Bullivant
