- Textile pergola awnings are different from other awnings in a few ways, including:
- Size: Pergola awnings are larger structures than awnings and can cover more area.
- Permanence: Pergolas are more permanent than awnings and have a more solid structure.
- Weather resistance: Pergolas can be used in all weather conditions, while awnings need to be retracted in bad weather.
- Location: Pergolas can be freestanding or attached to a house, while awnings extend out from a building.
