A PVC retractable  pergola is typically constructed using a combination of high-quality materials to ensure durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. The framework of the pergola is commonly made from sturdy, corrosion-resistant 6063-T5 aluminum , providing the necessary structural support for the retractable canopy system. The use of these materials ensures the pergola's ability to withstand various weather conditions while maintaining its structural integrity over time.

The retractable canopy itself is often crafted from durable PVC fabric, known for its strength, flexibility, and resistance to UV rays, moisture, and mildew.
