The ground and foundations
Near the lake the soil is damp: anchor points need proper footings, not just bolts into paving.
FARKË · FARKË E VOGËL · THE LAKE
Garden pergolas in Farkë — where the terrace has a garden around it and the lake in front.
Farkë and Farkë e Vogël are the land of villas and low houses with gardens, some looking over the lake. Here the pergola is not mounted on a façade but on the ground: anchoring, the wind that comes down from Dajti and the lake humidity decide how it must be designed.

Farkë’s villas and how a pergola goes up there
Terraces here are large and free of neighbouring blocks: the space allows freestanding pergolas of 20–40 m² in the middle of the garden, by the pool or the barbecue area. Since the structure stands on its own, anchoring the footings is the most important part of the job — the damp ground near the lake needs proper foundations, not anchors into paving slabs.
The afternoon wind coming down from Dajti and the area’s humidity call for oven-painted materials and stainless screws; otherwise rust spots appear after two winters. In Farkë we include this as standard, not as an extra.
AREA LOGISTICS
Installing a pergola in a garden — what we check before quoting
Four things that decide whether your Farkë pergola lasts twenty years or five — all assessed at the free visit.
The afternoon wind off Dajti
Profile dimensions are sized to the exposure — a pergola standing open in a garden is not the same as one tight against a wall.
Rainwater drainage
The pergola’s posts channel water to set points — we aim it at the drain, not at the neighbour’s yard.
The lake humidity
Oven-baked paint and stainless screws as standard: rust arrives here within a few winters otherwise.
The pergola goes where the garden’s owners want it, not where a wall allows it — a freestanding structure makes that possible.
How we work in Farkë — from the foundations to the last profile
The free visit here starts from the ground: we look at where the anchor points land, how rainwater drains and which direction the afternoon wind comes from. A bioclimatic pergola starts from €300/m², a pergola awning from €1,500 — the quote includes the foundation works too, with no later additions.
The distance from the workshop is about 25 minutes, so Farkë installations are done with a full crew, finishing in 1–2 days. To have the garden ready for summer, order by March–April.

Common questions about Farkë
What does a garden pergola cost in Farkë?
A bioclimatic starts from €300/m², a pergola awning from €1,500. Foundation works are included in the free quote — we assess them at the visit, because the ground near the lake needs checking.
Can the pergola stand away from the house, in the garden?
Yes — freestanding structures rest on their own foundations. This is the job we do most often in Farkë: a pergola by the pool or the barbecue area, not against the façade.
Does the lake humidity ruin the materials?
Not if chosen correctly: oven-painted aluminium profiles, stainless screws and proper seals. We include these as standard for Farkë — we say it because we have seen other people’s work rust within two winters.
How long from the visit to installation?
Usually 3–5 weeks: free visit, design, made-to-measure manufacturing and 1–2 days of installation. If you want the pergola ready for summer, order by March–April.
