Abid Mir, MD of Royalcraft Ltd, runs through the workings of the new voice activated and solar powered Sparta Pergola.

Made from durable aluminium, the pergola can open, close, turn on warm or white lights just by asking.

Designed by Royalcraft it is thought to be the first one in the UK to have such functionality. Available in 3mx3m and 4mx3m they come with blinds on all four sides, and during SOLEX are offered with a free corner furniture set.
