Canvas gained popularity when it was used to make tents. It becomes a waterproof material when it is treated to become one. Usually, these covers come with a retractable system that allows them to slide over your pergola when you want it and roll back in position when you decide to keep it uncovered. 

  • Vinyl cover

Clear tarps with high durability (almost give you the feel of a vinyl cover) are also available in the market.
