What is the recommended height for my bioclimatic pergola ?
Whether from a practical or legal point of view, the question of height is essential when considering the purchase of a bioclimatic pergola.
Medium height for maximum benefits
Height is not regulated either. So, in theory, you can erect your bioclimatic pergola at any height you choose. But while there are no legal restrictions, common sense dictates that you should not exceed a certain height.
Depending on the orientation of the pergola in relation to the sun's cycle, it may not be worth exceeding a certain height, as this will limit its sun protection benefits. The recommended average height of a bioclimatic pergola is between 2.50 and 3 metres.
Medium height for maximum benefits
This may also be less if your pergola backs onto the facade and the roof overhang box means that the wall beam has to be fixed lower down, for example. In the case of a self-supporting bioclimatic pergola, this average recommended height will be similar.
In conclusion, there are very few situations in which a pergola over 3 metres high will be useful, as its benefits are dissipated below a height of 3 metres.
