Retractable fabric-roof pergola configurator: compare the covered and uncovered space without changing the view
A retractable fabric roof is chosen partly for the way it changes the space beneath it. A useful configurator comparison should make that change understandable without relying on different lighting or camera angles to make one option look better.
Compare the covered and uncovered space without changing the view
Review the footprint and fixed frame first. Compare the roof arrangement from a consistent view and discuss where the fabric sits relative to the terrace. Ask what the customer wants from the uncovered state as well as from the covered one.
Compare roof concepts at one footprint
The model menu allows an ECO selection and a retractable-fabric-roof selection. Compare the supporting arrangement and coverage before interpreting their names as different performance levels. Standard and custom colour choices are separate; a wider palette does not define the roof material or operating package.
Use the fabric states to explain the roof concept
Compare a covered view and a gathered-fabric view at the same footprint. Those states explain the product’s visual use more clearly than two different camera angles. Review the support arrangement and any side treatments before spending time on the final fabric and frame combination.
The listed footprint is a useful starting reference for a terrace brief. Retain actual site measurements and the selected roof-system details in the project. Keep supplied controls, accessories and installation work visible as scope items rather than assuming they follow from a roof name.

Worked example: a customer brief for retractable fabric-roof pergola
For a customer who wants both open sky and covered dining, retain one footprint while comparing the preferred roof arrangement. Save the open and covered discussion points in the project. Identify the actual roof system, finish and accessory package on the proposal, with drainage and operating requirements ready for supplier review.
From retractable fabric-roof pergola choices to a clear proposal
Keep the fabric-roof specification distinct from frame colour and site work on the proposal. The visual configuration helps agree the product arrangement, while the actual operating limits, drainage and mounting requirements need supplier confirmation. Record those questions before presenting the overall project as ready to install.

Retractable fabric-roof pergola configurator FAQs
Can I begin with a listed footprint?
Yes. The dimension choices include named arrangements such as 4 by 3 and 4 by 4 metres. The actual supplied range needs confirmation.
What is the useful comparison between retracted and covered views?
It shows how the same terrace looks with the fabric gathered and extended. Keep dimensions and posts fixed while comparing those states. Record the selected fabric system and its supplied controls separately from any claims about weather or shading performance.
