Abundant shade thanks to the B128 XL pergola
The primary difference between the B128 and the B128 XL is the structure: the B128 XL is specially designed to shade large surfaces. To that end, its frame is also more robust. But it remains just as true to Brustor’s characteristic minimalist and stylish design. Consequently, you get the most out of abundant outdoor shade on outsized patios. What better solution for restaurants with large outdoor dining areas? On top of that, the B128 XL can be equipped with sleek screens that integrate almost seamlessly into the pergola’s frame.

Two iterations, one range: the differences between the B128 and B128 XL pergolas
Let’s recap. The B128 is best suited to small spaces, while the B128 XL has a more robust look and is perfect for shading large surfaces. Moreover, the B128 XL pergola’s frame has integrated screens for a sleek finish. B128 screens, in contrast, are built onto the frame. Aside from that? The two pergolas are remarkably alike and favourites of the Brustor range.
