Your pergola frames the view. The ShadeFlex Fit retractable pergola canopy makes it a place you can actually use on a hot afternoon. Fit’s tracks attach to the inside of your rafters, so the canopy sits between them instead of hanging below. The result is a clean, integrated look that works on an existing pergola or as part of a new build.
Pull the canopy closed with the included wand when the sun is high. Slide it open when you want sky and stars.
Already have a pergola? Fit is designed to retrofit an existing pergola or shade structure with open rafters. Measure your rafter spacing and length, order, and install the tracks yourself.
Planning a new pergola? Add Fit to the design from the start. Your builder can plan rafter spacing around standard canopy widths of 30″, 46″ or 60″, or order custom widths.
Freestanding or attached to the house, Fit works either way.

Will ShadeFlex Fit work with my existing pergola? If your pergola has open rafters spaced up to 63.5″ apart and at least 14″ of vertical clearance, Fit is designed for it.
Is the canopy waterproof? No. The fabrics are water-resistant and shed light rain, but they aren’t waterproof.
What happens in high wind? WindLocks let the canopy release from its position quickly in strong winds, protecting it from damage.
Is there a motorized version? ShadeFlex Fit is manually operated with the included wand.
Should I take it down for winter? We recommend removing the canopies in the off-season. It usually takes less than 30 minutes.
How do I clean it? Use ShadeFlex Canopy Cleaner on the fabric and ShadeFlex Track Cleaner on the tracks. Do not use WD-40.
How is Fit different from ShadeFlex Classic and Cloud? Fit mounts between your rafters for a built-in look.
ShadeFlex Classic runs beam to beam beneath your structure, and ShadeFlex Cloud mounts to the bottom of the rafters.
1.1 Measure the spacing between each pair of rafters at three points along the bay. Use the smallest number.
1.2 Measure the rafter length between beams (freestanding) or from the wall to the beam (attached). This is measurement B.
1.3 Confirm at least 14″ of vertical clearance along the rafters. Less than that? Contact us about a custom handle length.
Your track length will be measurement B minus 2″.
