Ağrı Pergola and Bioclimatic Pergola
What makes a space unusable in Ağrı is not cold alone but cold and wind acting together. On a high, open plateau the wind blows unobstructed; even at minus five degrees, the value felt under that wind is far lower.
That changes the direction of the solution. In other cold provinces heating is discussed first; in Ağrı, stopping the wind should be. Beneath an uninterrupted wind, even the most powerful heater loses most of what it produces.
Why Pergola Systems Are Chosen in Ağrı
- Cold and wind combined: Perceived temperature drops far below the actual figure, so side enclosure comes first.
- Heavy snow: The structural section is chosen on snow load.
- Open country: Nothing stands in the wind's way, and the fixing calculation follows.
- Border trade and tourism: Around Doğubayazıt, hospitality and businesses need sheltered space.
Bioclimatic Pergola Systems in Ağrı
Here the system is built in two layers. Above, a louvred canopy: rigid enough not to retract in wind, closed against snow and rain, and open to shed snow. Below, the side enclosure: wind arrives horizontally and the canopy above will not intercept it.
Fixings are a calculation of their own in this province. On an open plateau the full wind load lands on the connection; the solution changes with the ground and a surface fixing will not do. As the span widens the load rises, so an intermediate support or modular bays may be needed.
On the cold side, gaskets and motors are selected for low-temperature behaviour, and a manual override is recommended.
Where Pergolas and Bioclimatic Pergolas Are Used
- Hospitality: Hotel entrances and arrival areas around Doğubayazıt and the centre.
- Public buildings and schools: Waiting areas usable on windy, snowy days.
- Cafés and restaurants: Enclosed winter terraces.
- Garden homes: Sheltered entrances and seating.
- Livestock and farming: Cover over feed and equipment areas.
Complementary Systems We Supply in Ağrı
- Zip screens: The province's priority product; zipped fabric locks into the side rail and cannot billow.
- Glass wind screens: Break the horizontal flow while leaving the view; 120–130 cm usually suffices at seated level.
- Double-glazed systems: For enclosed winter volumes; polyamide-broken profiles essential.
- Reinforced fixing sets: Selected for the ground type on open plateau.
Wind first, heat second
The expectation we most often correct in Ağrı is "a heater will do". It will not. Wind continuously sweeps away the still layer of air on the skin, and the warm air a heater produces disperses just as fast. The right order is side enclosure first, heater second. Once the enclosure is in place, a smaller heater than expected usually suffices on most projects — lowering both capital and running cost.
What drives the price
Area and span, system type, structural section, motors and automation, side enclosure. Here fixing type, side enclosure and snow load capacity are the decisive items.
Why Elit Pergola?
- The right order: Wind is stopped first, then the heating is sized.
- Fixings by load calculation: Ground type and panel area assessed together on open plateau.
- Specified for cold: Gaskets and motors chosen for low temperatures.
- Our own installation team: Installation is never subcontracted.
- After-sales: Spare parts support continues for motors, louvres and fabric.

Frequently Asked Questions
Would a heater on its own be enough?
Usually not. A heater running in unbroken wind loses most of its output. The right order is side enclosure first, heater second; with the enclosure in place, a smaller heater is often sufficient.
How are fixings chosen on open plateau?
By assessing ground type and panel area together. The full wind load lands on the connection, and a surface fixing will not do here.
How high should a wind screen be?
For seated use, 120–130 cm usually suffices; for standing use, 150–170 cm. An over-tall panel raises both wind load and cost.
What should I ask about snow loading?
Ask for the closed-louvre load in writing, together with the span it applies to.
Is a fabric system suitable?
With constant wind it would retract often. If the space must stay open, a louvred canopy is the better answer; if fabric is chosen, a wind sensor is mandatory.
