Water-Resistant Pergola Replacement Cover With Rods

This Royal Shade waterproof pergola replacement cover is designed for customers who want more protection than a standard breathable shade cover. The cover includes rods for edge tension and is offered in several standard sizes for metal or wood pergola frames.

Important: This cover is not 100% waterproof. A flat panel can collect water and tear under the weight. A slight slope or tilt during installation helps water run off and reduces pooling. Avoid installing it in areas where standing water can accumulate on the fabric.

Grommets are spaced every 2 feet for attachment. The included stainless steel rods help keep the cover seated on the frame.

Installation and Sizing Tips

• Measure the intended cover width and length, including any planned overhang.
• Choose a size that matches or slightly exceeds the frame dimensions.
• Install with a slight incline so water can drain.
• Do not allow snow or standing water to sit on the cover.
