Giulio Barbieri ONDA UP - Retractable Manual Pergola

Redefining Your Horizon: The Italian-Made Onda Pergola

Imagine a space where the boundaries between your home and the natural world simply melt away. The ONDA is a minimalist and elegant Italian-made pergola featuring a unique scalloped retractable roof. Designed for versatility, the Onda can be installed as a freestanding structure, wall-mounted, or retrofitted into existing frames (as the Onda-Up system).

Why Choose the ONDA System?

• Italian Craftsmanship: 100% designed and manufactured in Italy using high-grade architectural aluminum.
• Effortless Operation: Features a simple pole retraction system. An aluminum pole hooks onto the lead spar, allowing for tactile, manual control without the need for complex motors.
• Marine-Grade Durability: Equipped with polished stainless steel fittings as standard, making it ideal for coastal and beachfront environments.
• Advanced Solar Protection: Utilizes Serge Ferrari Soltis fabrics which block up to 96% of harmful UV rays while allowing airflow to reduce heat build-up.
• Low Maintenance: No electrical components means minimal upkeep—simply clean the profiles and fabric with water and mild soap.

Frame Dimensions & Profiles:

• Aluminum Purlins: 45.5 mm architectural profiles.
• Aluminum Guides: 35 mm high-strength rails.
• Maximum Dimensions: 600 cm (Length) x 500 cm (Width) per module.
• Certifications: Marked according to technical standard UNI EN 1090.

Fabric Technology: Available in Serge Ferrari Soltis 96 (Mesh), Soltis W96 (Waterproof), and Precontraint Blackout options. All fabrics are fire-retardant and mildew-resistant.

Customization: Bespoke sizing and RAL powder coat colors are available upon request to match your existing architectural palette.

Modular Expansion: The Onda is designed to be installed in series, allowing you to cover vast areas with a seamless, modular visual effect.

Can I install this on an existing wood pergola?
Yes. The Onda-Up version is specifically designed as a universal kit to be mounted onto any strong existing structure.

Is the roof waterproof?
We offer both mesh and waterproof fabric options. The waterproof Soltis W96 and Precontraint fabrics are designed to channel rainwater away from the space below.

How do I operate the roof?
The system includes a manual pole. You simply hook the pole to the lead spar to slide the canopy back and forth effortlessly.
