Reverse slope arbor roof. The methods mentioned above for attaching shade cloth to the top of your pergola would still be valid for canvas materials making it suitable for heavier rain as long as there is enough slope to ensure they drain. The pitched pergolas are suitable for constructing stylish verandas patios for a seating arrangement or simply to protect the front door of the house. A gable roof is shaped like an upside down v and is sometimes referred to as a dual pitched saddle saddleback or peaked roof. The clear pergola roof still blocks some of the sun about 10 so the patio still feels cooler than the non covered area.

Clear roofing panels i used the suntuf 26 x 8 panels. They also come in 12 lengths if you have a bigger roof to cover. And being able to see the sky through the roof is so beautiful. I seriously cannot wait for a rain storm so we can sit under the roof and watch the rain drops dance on it.

If you are using shed roofs or gables for the roof you will need to consider the angle of the roof and ensure that the right angle is used for the pergola. I found three different methods for attaching the cloth that if the whole roof structure of the pergola has a slope would still work.
