Do pergolas with retractable canopies work in Canadian winters?
For Canadian winter care:
- Fabric canopy pergolas (e.g., Corriveau San Luis): Retract and store the fabric canopy before first snowfall. The aluminum frame is rustproof and remains standing safely through winter.
- Louvered pergolas (e.g., Corriveau Casilda): The adjustable louvers can be closed to shed light snow and rain. However, clear heavy snow accumulation to prevent damage. The aluminum frame handles freezing temperatures without issue.
Both types require no maintenance on the frame — just store the fabric components for winter.
