Questions We Get a Lot
A louvered pergola uses rigid, adjustable aluminum slats that rotate to control airflow and shade without removing any hardware — useful when you want incremental control over light and rain. A canopy pergola uses a fabric panel, either fixed or retractable, that provides more complete shade coverage when fully extended. The right choice depends on how much weather protection you want versus how much open-sky feel you prefer.
Powder-coated aluminum frames resist corrosion, UV degradation, and surface oxidation without annual sealing or repainting. Routine care is limited to occasional cleaning with mild soap and water to clear surface debris from the frame and any drainage channels. Fabric canopies benefit from being retracted or stored during extended periods of severe weather.
Most freestanding pergola designs in this collection include ground anchor hardware sized for both concrete and composite deck surfaces, and the assembly process — completed by the customer using included components — covers both installation scenarios. We recommend reviewing the specific anchor specifications in the product documentation before you begin, as footing requirements vary by frame size and local wind conditions.
Pergolas are covered by our 30-Day Return policy — please review the Return Policy page for the exact process and conditions.

About Our Pergolas
A pergola defines outdoor space without enclosing it. Where an open patio leaves you exposed to direct sun and intermittent rain, a well-engineered pergola overhead creates a room with a threshold — a place the eye reads as intentional rather than incidental. The category spans fixed-roof aluminum frames with rotating louvers, retractable fabric canopy systems, and heavier vinyl structures designed to carry load through full seasonal cycles. Buyers should weigh three things before choosing: the degree of weather protection they need, the permanence of the installation, and the material maintenance the structure will demand over years of outdoor exposure. Aluminum frames with powder-coat finishes require little upkeep and resist corrosion without repainting. Vinyl structures carry more visual weight and suit classical architectural contexts. Louvered roofs offer the most control, letting airflow and shade be adjusted without removing hardware. Size the footprint to your actual patio dimensions, not your aspirational ones — a structure scaled to the space reads as designed, not added.
