Benefits of an Outdoor Office Space with a Louvered Roof
Businesses of all genres are trading the standard office setting for scenic outdoor workspaces. Migrating outdoors, away from stale office air and draining fluorescents, beneath the shelter of a pergola that opens and closes, offers a refreshing alternative. However, a change of setting is far from the only advantage an outdoor workspace offers:
Outdoor office settings increase productivity
Outdoor settings featuring lush vegetation, open spaces, and inspiring views improve mood and productivity and inspire social and team interaction.
Time in green spaces provides many health benefits
Various studies show the benefits of connecting with nature over spending all day indoors. Exposure to green spaces reduces stress and boosts memory after just 20 minutes. The fresh air of an outdoor office also offers the perfect escape from common indoor air pollutants.
Outdoor offices are a major selling point for employees
A bright, inviting outdoor office offers an enticing incentive for recruiting and retaining talent, standing out from the bleak, grey cubicle walls of competitors.
An attractive outdoor space gains attention and foot traffic
The sight of cutting-edge opening and closing pergolas showcases your business’s commitment to investing in employee satisfaction, attracting the attention of potential staff and customers.
Outdoor workspaces offer multifunctional use
An outdoor office site can also serve as a place to recharge during breaks, gather for team meetings, and hold company events, fostering a more collaborative culture that supports productivity and innovation.

Where to Add an Aluminum Pergola Covered Outdoor Office Space
The typical corporate office tends to have many overlooked, underutilized spaces. You don’t need acres of greenery to incorporate aluminum pergolas and outdoor office seating. Outdoor workspace additions can be incorporated anywhere you have available outdoor square footage:
- Unused green spaces and courtyards
- Pre-existing concrete slabs
- Bottom floor patios and decks
- Side yards
- Balconies
- Rooftops
Even small outdoor spaces can significantly boost creativity and reduce stress for workers, enhancing the overall work experience.
Top Amenities for a More Functional, Productive Outdoor Office
Providing the optimal outdoor work environment requires more than outdoor shelter and a seat. The most functional, productive outdoor workspaces require:
Thoughtful placement
The surrounding environment, including views, landscaping, sun exposure, and irrigation, significantly influences the atmosphere and functionality of the outdoor workspace and should be carefully considered before construction.
Greenery
A concrete slab and parking lot view do not make for an enjoyable outdoor working experience. If your grounds lack existing scenery like trees or mountain views, create your own. Incorporate a green wall, raised beds, and various sizes and types of potted plants filled with native trees, foliage, and flowers. These additions not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also improve temperature comfort and air quality, creating a more pleasant work environment.
Essential amenities
Task lighting, GFCI-protected outlets, fast Wi-Fi or a signal booster, ample desk/counter space, and ergonomic furnishings that reduce eye and muscle strain are must-haves for a functional and comfortable outdoor office space.
Reliable shelter
No paper and electronics-covered office workspace can function without flexible, year-round protection from the elements. With adjustable pergola louvers, you can make the most of every season, enjoying leak-free protection from rain and snow or dialing in the perfect amount of sun, shade, or ventilation for employee comfort and safety on demand.

Secure storage
Incorporating built-in storage and cabinetry to protect equipment and supplies from the elements can reduce setup time and further boost productivity in the outdoor workspace.
Creature comforts
Amenities like fans, infrared patio heaters, and motorized screens enhance comfort and convenience, making the outdoor workspace more enjoyable and conducive to productivity.
Convenience features
Simple additions like a wastebasket, coffee maker, water cooler, and refrigerator reduce the need for employees to make time-consuming trips back to the indoor office, improving efficiency.
Thoughtfully planning the integration of these essential elements ensures your outdoor office can be transformed into a productive, comfortable, and inspiring environment conducive to creativity and innovation.
