With its elongated T-shape and subtly alternating or single-directional pitch to the taut fabric, the Forli has all the little touches to capture your aesthetic attention. This free standing aluminum patio cover is an ultra-chic style that adapts itself to any location, from neighborhood backyards to sidewalk cafes.

Italianate Elegance: Forli

The distinctive T-shaped patented Forli immediately makes a statement. Its stanchions (posts/columns) are inset from the ends, offering sweeping overhangs that give both a beautiful look and create an elegant arrangement underneath the patio cover. A fusion of function and grace.

The Forli is an elongated retractable pergola awning suited for long or narrow spaces. It is ideal for both landscaping and hardscaping spaces that need subtle elegance.

Specifications

You can purchase the Forli free standing patio cover motorized only. Its powder-coated 6063 aluminum frame is ruggedly durable against both weathering and rust while maintaining a smooth and sleek finish. Other specifications include the following:

  • The posts must be inset permanently between 15.74 inches (40 cm) and 47.24 in (120 cm) from the edge of the cover.

  • With a maximum projection of 32 feet 9 inches (10 m), the Forli is more than twice as long as similar models, like the Bursa, and substantially larger than many other free standing aluminum patio covers, including the Ancona.

  • The Forli can have either four or six upright posts (two or three on either side).

  • The Forli's mechanisms have been tested for 5,000 cycles at 220lbs (100kg) -- equivalent to 15 years of continuous use.

  • Maximum height for the Forli retractable cover is 8 foot 10 inches (270cm)

The long lengthwise beams are tucked under the transverse of the central stanchions, which creates a modern effect. All  beams and posts have enough dimension to be noticed (5.9 inches x 3.93 inches) while retaining a slender grace.

Outstanding European Appeal

Much of the visual impact of the Forli comes from the way that the frame plays with the fabric. Concealed spacers press down against the cover fabric, creating a pitch that prevents water from collecting when fully extended. The pitch alternates along the side from side to side along the length of the cover, giving visual texture and depth and eliminating the need for gutters or drains on this model of free standing patio cover.

The fabric of the patio cover itself is pulled taut so that Forli has a more tailored appearance than some other styles of patio covers. The fabric stays tight with the Forli when fully extended, and does drape or roman fold as the cover is retracted.

A Diverse Selection of Enclosures

Our patio cover series uses a permanent framework to support the retractable pergola fabric and to define space. Because of the permanent frame, many free standing aluminum patio covers can be enclosed to provide both privacy and wind/rain protection (Forli model excluded).

While the Forli is designed to operate without enclosures along the sides, due to the inset posts/columns, other free standing models can support optional vertical screens and partitions, including the following:

  • Vertical drop screens attached to posts and beams for retractable sun and glare control as well as wind/rain control.

  • Sliding glass doors (two, three, four, or more panels with multiple slide directions to choose from) for a strong sense of quiet and seclusion – almost like permanent construction allowing customers to heat the space in the winter and air condition the space in the summer. Framed and frameless versions are available.
