CASE STUDY: Pergola gets a fresh look with ONDULINE CLASSIC green
A pergola makeover
Kelly: @ourdaleyhome
We were excited to collaborate with Kelly, a gardening expert known for sharing inspiring garden jobs, practical project tips, and the real, raw moments of outdoor life. Through her creative Instagram account, @ourdaleyhome, she documents her passion for making the most of her outdoor space. For this project, Kelly transformed a beautiful but underused corner of her garden into a sheltered, all-weather room with a pergola upgrade using ONDULINE CLASSIC in green.
Project overview
Kelly’s pergola was already lovely to look at, but it didn’t quite feel complete. It lacked that final detail to make it more inviting and functional in all weathers. That’s where ONDULINE CLASSIC corrugated roofing sheets came in.
She chose the green ONDULINE CLASSIC sheets, a shade that blends naturally with the trees and planting in her garden, helping the pergola feel as though it’s part of the landscape rather than an add-on. The colour also provides a soft, organic finish that complements her overall garden style.
Lightweight, easy to handle, and designed for DIY installations, the sheets slotted into place with minimal fuss. This quick and simple upgrade not only enhanced the look of the pergola but also provided essential shelter from the unpredictable British weather.
Made from 50% recycled cellulose fibres, ONDULINE CLASSIC sheets are extremely tough, UV-resistant, and designed to last, backed by a 15-year guarantee for peace of mind.
The finished result
The transformation turned the pergola into a truly usable outdoor room, sheltered, private, and cosy. The green roof now frames her seating area in harmony with the garden around it, making it feel like a natural extension of the space.
Now, it’s a spot where Kelly can sit for longer, enjoying the garden without dashing indoors at the first sign of rain. Even the family dog has claimed it as a favourite hangout.
Whether used for garden sheds, pergolas, or other outdoor structures, ONDULINE CLASSIC delivers both style and substance, creating spaces that are beautiful, durable, and practical.
Available at Wickes and our ONDULINE EASYFIX profile is available at B&Q, complete with matching accessories to spruce up your garden structures and keep them watertight for years to come.
Kelly's full installation
“And now? It just makes me happy to see it. Sheltered, more private, properly cosy. Like that garden room I’ve been quietly imagining for ages. We’re already sitting out here longer, not rushing back in when the clouds roll over. Even the dog’s refusing to leave.”
