Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has a particular microclimate: mild temperatures year-round, but frequent northerly winds and high relative humidity. This determines the most suitable pergola type.

The Las Palmas climate

Average temperature: 20-25°C (low variation)
Wind: NE trade winds, frequent and sometimes intense
Humidity: high (70-80%)
Sun: ~2,800 hours/year

Best solutions for Las Palmas

For residential terraces (penthouses and duplex penthouses)

Recommended solution: Bioclimatic pergola with sliding glass curtains.

The trade wind, though not hurricane-like, is constant. Adjustable louvers let you regulate wind entry without sacrificing shade. Glass curtains protect when the wind picks up without blocking views (if you have sea or city views).

For hospitality terraces (Mesa y López, Vegueta, Triana)

Recommended solution: Bioclimatic pergola + ZIP side panels.

Terraces in pedestrian areas need lightweight, demountable solutions (by municipal regulation). ZIP side panels are ideal: they protect from wind, roll up easily, and comply with regulations.

For single-family homes (Tafira, San Lorenzo, coastal areas)

Recommended solution: Bioclimatic pergola with complete enclosure.

In more exposed areas, a complete system (bioclimatic + glass) maximizes terrace or garden use.
