It suits gardeners who want adjustable shade without any electrics.

Freestanding, it screens a seating area anywhere on the plot.

Opened up, the louvres keep the space ventilated on warm days.

Closed, they form a weather-shedding roof for a passing shower.

The Deponti Pinela Manual arrives as a flat-packed kit of powder-coated aluminium sections, fixings and roof panels, supplied with a step-by-step assembly manual.

As a freestanding structure it stands on its own four posts and needs a solid, level base such as a concrete pad or paving, with no wall fixing required.

No electrics are essential to the core structure, so a competent DIY installer with a second pair of hands and standard tools can complete the build over a weekend.

If you would rather not build it yourself, our nationwide network of approved installers can survey your site and fit it for you.

Wipe the powder-coated aluminium frame with mild soapy water two or three times a year to keep the finish looking sharp, and dry it off to prevent watermarks.

Rotate the louvres flat and wipe each blade with a soft, damp cloth. Because the blades close to shed rain, most dirt washes away naturally between cleans.

Keep the integrated drainage channels and post outlets clear so water always has a route away from the structure.

The powder-coated aluminium frame is covered by a 5 year warranty against paint defects such as peeling, blistering or premature deterioration under normal residential use.

In coastal, high-moisture or chemical environments the paint warranty is reduced to 2 years due to accelerated wear. Cover applies under normal residential use and excludes damage from misuse, storm events beyond design loads, or unauthorised modification.

The Deponti Pinela Manual is delivered on a pallet by kerbside freight to mainland UK addresses, with lead times confirmed at the point of order.

Because the aluminium sections and roof panels are long, please make sure there is clear access for a pallet delivery and somewhere safe to store the kit until installation.

We will contact you to arrange a delivery date, and someone should be available to check the consignment against the packing list on arrival.

Louvred Aluminium Pergola | Deponti Pinela Manual | Adjustable Louvres Up To 120° | Freestanding | No Motor Required

Wind by hand

The Manual Pinela strips the louvre pergola back to what actually matters: a well-built overhead structure that lets you control how much sun and air comes through. No motor, no remote, no app. You open the blades by hand to the angle you want, up to 120 degrees, and leave them there. It is a more deliberate way of using a terrace, and for plenty of people that is exactly the point.

When the panels are closed, the Manual Pinela provides full protection from rain, UV, and wind. The slim aluminium profiles keep the structure from feeling heavy, and the solid build means it holds up in all seasons without needing much thought. It is the kind of outdoor space that just works, year after year, without asking anything of you.

Available in black (RAL9005) or white (RAL9010) in two sizes, 3x3m or 3x4m, both at a standing height of 2.5m. Freestanding, so no wall fixing is needed. Optional Deponti glass sliding doors and aluminium Grillo walls allow you to close off one or more sides and use the space through the colder months.

Frequently Asked Questions

The blades are turned by hand using a simple mechanism, so you set the angle directly yourself. It is a deliberately uncomplicated system, with no motor, remote or wiring to maintain over the years.

The louvres rotate through a wide arc, up to around 120 degrees, taking you from a closed, weather-shedding roof to a steeply open position for maximum light and airflow, all under manual control.

A manual roof costs less, has no electrics to power or service, and nothing motorised to fail. If you are happy to set the shade by hand and value simplicity and lower cost, it is the sensible pick.

Yes. When the blades are rotated closed they overlap to form a weather-shedding roof that channels rain to the drainage, so shutting the louvres gives you genuine shelter, not just shade.

No. Because there is no motor, the core structure needs no electrical connection at all, which keeps installation simpler and means it can go in spots where running power would be awkward.
