Bioclimatic Pergolas in Selwo

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Over the years, I have seen how the Costa del Sol Occidental has transformed, and specifically, how the community of Selwo has become one of the most sought-after residential pockets in Estepona. With a population of around 3,500 residents, this area offers a unique microclimate between the sea and the Sierra Bermeja. If you are looking to enhance your terrace or garden, installing a bioclimatic pergola in Selwo is the definitive solution to enjoy the outdoors year-round. Whether you live in the modern apartments of Vanian Gardens, the frontline golf villas of La Resina Golf, or the elevated terraces of Selwo Hills and Ocean Hills, our structures are designed to withstand the specific environmental challenges of this coastal area, such as high salt exposure and intense UV radiation. In Selwo a bioclimatic pergola typically runs 300-780 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the anchoring and the integrated automation. My goal is to ensure your outdoor space in Lomas de Retamar becomes a functional sanctuary that adds real value to your property.

4. Professional Installation and Handover Our specialised local team carries out the assembly with minimal disruption, followed by a thorough walkthrough to explain the remote control and maintenance.

Regulations and Permits for Pergolas in Selwo

Navigating the legal landscape in Estepona is crucial to avoid future headaches with the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). All our installations are manufactured and installed according to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the safety and performance requirements for external blinds and awnings, ensuring resistance against wind loads common in the Estepona hills.

From a municipal perspective, the installation of a bioclimatic pergola in Selwo is governed by the Estepona PGOU (General Urban Planning Plan) and the more recent LISTA (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía). Because Selwo is an area with strict building density controls, especially near protected green zones and the safari park surroundings, it is vital to distinguish between a "portable" structure and a permanent extension. Generally, these installations are processed as an 'Obra Menor' (Minor Works License) or a 'Declaración Responsable'. However, if the pergola is considered to increase the 'edificabilidad' (buildable area) by being fully enclosed, a more complex license may be required. Furthermore, if you live in a community like Ocean Hills or Vanian, we must ensure the design respects the aesthetic uniformity of the 'Comunidad de Propietarios'. We handle the technical documentation required to ensure your project complies with all local bylaws.
