The markilux pergola stretch is not a conventional pergola awning. Instead of the tracfix guide-rail system found on the classic or cubic, the stretch uses 125×125 mm square guides with an integrated drainage channel, and a monochrome waterproof PVC folding canvas, UV-resistant and flame-retardant, tensioned transversally over support profiles. This makes the stretch the only system in the textile range capable of managing rainwater in a fully controlled manner: water is channelled from the canvas into the gutter and then runs down the columns to the ground. The modular protective roof comes as standard, protecting the retracted canvas from rain and dirt.
The stretch is the only product in the entire Markilux textile range to have been awarded the R+T Innovation Award 2021, the innovation prize of the world’s leading trade fair for solar-protection systems. This recognition endorses the technical solution of the stretch: the combination of waterproof canvas, integrated drainage, standard protective roof and io motor as standard, all within a minimalist-looking system for large surfaces.
A single bay of the stretch can cover up to 700×700 cm, more than doubling the maximum surface area of the classic or cubic. For large-scale projects, up to 5 bays in line can be coupled together, reaching 25 metres total width with a 7-metre projection. Column positions can be planned independently of the awning width, even asymmetrically.
The stretch is the only model in the textile range with an 868 MHz io remote-control motor as standard — the classic, cubic and compact models feature a standard motor with io as an option. This motor enables immediate integration into io-homecontrol home-automation systems and automatic management via wind sensors from the very first day of installation.

The stretch is a technically different system. The classic and cubic use the tracfix system with guide rails and textile canvases; the stretch uses 125×125 mm square guides without tracfix, with a transversally tensioned waterproof flame-retardant PVC folding canopy. In addition, the stretch includes as standard a modular protective roof, an integrated drainage gutter in the columns, and a remote-controlled io motor — elements that are optional or unavailable on the other models. Its maximum dimensions (700×700 cm per bay) are also significantly larger.
Yes. The standard canvas —Soltis Proof 502 and monochrome perla FR— is waterproof PVC, UV-resistant and flame-retardant. The system handles rainfall of up to performance class 2 in accordance with DIN EN 13561 (56 l/m² per hour) in uniform rainfall. Water is channelled from the canvas into the integrated gutter in the posts. In very heavy rain or strong wind gusts, the manufacturer advises that the awning should be retracted.
A single module covers up to 700×700 cm. With up to 5 modules coupled in line, the total width can reach 25 metres while maintaining up to 7 metres of projection per module. The column positions can be planned independently of the awning width, even asymmetrically, making it easy to adapt to irregular structures.
The stretch comes as standard with the io 868 MHz remote-controlled motor, unlike the rest of the textile range, which is fitted with a standard motor and optional io. This means immediate integration with io-homecontrol home automation and compatibility with automatic wind sensors from the outset. The 433 MHz RTS motor is available as an optional alternative. The standard motor is included as standard. As an option, it is possible to specify the silentec motor (maximum acoustic reduction), the 868 MHz io-homecontrol motor (integration with Somfy home automation and intelligent control systems), and the 433 MHz RTS motor. The optional super-shade is operated via a manual crank or with a 433 MHz RTS motor with an autonomous sundrive solar module, requiring no electrical connection to the super-shade module.
The stretch accommodates up to 6 heaters of 2500 W per field, mounted on the optional crossbar in individual or paired configurations (maximum 3×2 units). Each heater includes an integrated io 868 MHz receiver and can be controlled individually. Heater installation must be carried out at the factory — it is not possible to add them retrospectively.
Between the columns, the markilux 625 tracfix and 776 tracfix vertical awnings (with panoramic window option) can be installed, along with the format slide and format lift systems. For the angled sides, the markilux format triangle closes the spaces not covered by the main rectangular format. This combination allows a fully enclosed and climate-controlled outdoor space to be created beneath the stretch.
