Pergolas in Andratx and Port d'Andratx
Protection against Tramuntana wind and intense sun in south-west Mallorca
Terraces in Andratx: wind, slopes and sea views
The municipality of Andratx stretches from the mountainous interior to the harbour. In Port d'Andratx, properties are staggered along south- and south-west-facing hillsides, with terraces exposed to Tramuntana wind channelled down from the mountains. In the town centre of Andratx and in the developments of Camp de Mar and Sant Elm, conditions differ: less wind, but direct sun exposure throughout the day in summer.
Local conditions in Andratx
Tramuntana wind
Port d'Andratx receives Tramuntana gusts channelled through the mountain valleys. Pergolas must be engineered for wind loads higher than in flat areas. Brustor systems allow the louvres to be set in a ventilation position, reducing wind resistance during storms.
Hillside and stepped terraces
Many properties in Port d'Andratx have terraces on different levels along steep slopes. The pergola structure must accommodate height differences between supports. UNIT carries out a topographic survey of each terrace before planning.
Municipal regulations
Andratx council classifies much of Port d'Andratx as urban land with landscape protection. Pergolas require a prior works notification (comunicación previa), and on plots with sea-view protection, height restrictions may apply. UNIT checks the applicable planning regulations for each plot.
Recommended systems for Andratx
For wind-exposed terraces in Port d'Andratx, the B600S offers the greatest wind-load resistance thanks to its reinforced structure. For more sheltered terraces in Camp de Mar or the town centre, the B200 and B250XL cover large areas with a lighter aesthetic.
