About this asset

This fully parametric Revit family represents a modern timber pergola featuring a slatted roof structure for exterior site design. The structure is composed of four vertical timber posts supporting a heavy-duty beam framework. The roof consists of multiple parallel slats, creating a rhythmic visual pattern that provides filtered light and shade. The design is constructed from square-profile timber components, finished in a warm brown tone. Its proportions are defined by a clean, geometric silhouette suitable for contemporary landscaping. This family is designed for flexibility, allowing users to adjust the width, depth, and height, as well as the spacing and quantity of the roof slats to suit specific site requirements.

The download is a 317 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this family functions as a highly adaptable component for site planning. Users can load the file directly into a project environment and adjust the instance parameters to match site dimensions precisely. The parametric nature allows for rapid iteration of the structural layout without needing to redraw the geometry. Material assignments are mapped to standard parameters, enabling users to apply custom timber textures or finishes through the Object Styles or Type Properties dialogue boxes for accurate rendering.

This pergola is an essential asset for landscape architects and residential designers working on garden, terrace, or patio projects. It serves as a focal point for outdoor living areas, effectively defining space while maintaining a sense of openness. Professionals will find it useful during the concept and design development stages for creating realistic site visualisations. It integrates well with hardscaping elements such as stone paving or timber decking and pairs naturally with outdoor seating sets or climbing vegetation in exterior renders.
