At The Baron in Woodmead, Timeless Group was commissioned to design and install a pergola over the restaurant’s outdoor dining area. The goal was to create a visually appealing, weather-protected space that enhances the guest experience without compromising natural light. Using high-quality Saligna wood and specialised clear roof sheeting, the team delivered a refined structure that balances functionality with architectural elegance.
