Retractable Roof Pergola Creates an Outdoor Room

Plow & Hearth offers some very nice outdoor living items, but this one caught my eye because of the continuing trend of creating outdoor rooms (thank you, HGTV). The Retractable Roof Pergola creates a shady setting for entertaining and outdoor dining on a porch or patio or in a yard. The smooth-moving retractable top lets you control the sun and shade and offers shelter from a passing shower. Powder-coated aluminum and steel frame with an all-weather polyurethane-coated polyester shade. 10' sq. x 84" H. Assembly required. $999.95
