Steel Frames for Rooftop Pergolas: Yes, We Make Them

t478-41

Yes, Techno Kol Uzi Ltd. supplies custom steel frames and structures for rooftop pergolas, made to the exact dimensions of your roof. We handle the design, production in our Tel Aviv factory, protective finishing and installation. Every frame is planned around the load, wind exposure and layout of your specific roof.

What we can build for a rooftop pergola

Our factory produces steel pergola frames to measure, including the main posts, beams, rafters and bracing. Frames can be designed as a freestanding structure or attached to an existing parapet or roof slab, depending on what the building allows. We can also combine the steel frame with glass, louvers or fabric shade, and add matching railings or steel stairs to reach the space.

Why custom steel rather than a standard kit

Rooftops rarely have perfectly square dimensions, and every building has its own obstacles such as water tanks, vents and uneven surfaces. A standard kit often forces compromises that look awkward once installed. Working from measured drawings lets us fit the frame to the actual roof, so posts land where the structure can take them and the finished pergola sits neatly within the space.

How the process works

The process starts with an inquiry where you send photos and a rough description of the roof. We then visit the site to measure and check the structure. From these measurements we prepare a drawing and a written specification, which you review and approve before any production begins. Once approved, the frame is cut, welded and assembled in our factory.

Finishing for outdoor exposure

A rooftop frame is exposed to sun, rain and salt-laden air, so finishing matters as much as the steel itself. We typically use hot-dip galvanizing for corrosion protection and can apply powder coating in the colour you choose. The right finish depends on the exposure of your roof and how close it is to the sea, so we discuss it during the specification stage.

Safety and structural checks

A pergola on a roof has to handle wind loads and, if people will gather under it, live loads as well. Railing and guard requirements in Israel follow the standard SI 1142, and we design with it in mind. Exact load values and anchoring details should be confirmed with a structural engineer, and we coordinate with your engineer so the frame and the building work together safely.

Installation and what to prepare

Before installation, it helps to confirm the roof's load capacity, the position of drains and any waterproofing that must not be disturbed. Our team installs the frame once the site is ready and checks alignment and fixings. Clear the roof of loose items and let us know about access routes for the material.

Frequently asked questions

Can you make a steel pergola frame for any rooftop size?

Yes, we design frames to the measured dimensions of your roof, so the size is set by the space rather than a fixed catalogue. The structure is checked against the load and layout before production starts.

Do I need an engineer for a rooftop pergola?

In most cases the structure should be confirmed by a structural engineer, especially for roof load and anchoring. We coordinate with your engineer so the design meets the requirements for your building.

How do you protect steel frames from rain and salt air?

We use hot-dip galvanizing for corrosion protection and can add powder coating in your chosen colour. The best combination depends on how exposed your roof is.

What do I need to send to start an inquiry?

Send photos of the roof and a short description of what you want to build. We will then arrange an on-site measurement before preparing the drawing and specification.

Common mistakes to avoid

A common mistake is ordering a frame before confirming the roof's load capacity and drain positions. Skipping the on-site measurement often leads to frames that do not fit the real space.

Our recommendation

Before ordering, have your structural engineer confirm the roof's load capacity and the anchor points, then share those details with us so the frame is designed around them. Choose the finish based on your exposure, especially if the building is near the sea.

Summary

Techno Kol Uzi makes custom steel frames for rooftop pergolas, designed from measurements of your actual roof and finished for outdoor conditions.
