Re: Pergola covering
I always thought the whole point of a pergola was that it was open to the elements? Other than that it was to support trailing plants such as "Virginia Creepers" or "Clematis". A bamboo screen may well work (as it still lets the rain through) but it will not be weather proof!

Re: Pergola covering
How about corrugated plastic - B&Q sells sheets of it.

That was my impression too. Any covering needs to be growing plants otherwise, I suppose, it becomes an arcade.

Re: Pergola covering
Also if it is higher than 3 metres and covered in, it will need planning permission!
