Questions We Get a Lot
A louvered pergola features adjustable aluminum slats that let you dial in exactly how much sun or shade you want, and most include an integrated drainage system so you can keep the space dry during light rain. A wood pergola, typically built from cedar or similar hardwoods, offers a more traditional open-roof aesthetic with a natural warmth that pairs beautifully with garden settings. Both styles are built for long-term outdoor use, but the right choice really comes down to how you plan to use the space and the look you want to achieve.
Our pergolas are designed for homeowner assembly using standard tools, and each unit ships with the hardware and instructions needed to get it standing. The process does take time and an extra set of hands is helpful, especially for larger structures, so we recommend planning for a full afternoon with a helper. If you have questions during assembly, our team is happy to help you work through the process.
The adjustable louvered roof systems in our aluminum pergolas are engineered with integrated drainage channels that direct water away from the structure, so closing the louvers during a rain shower keeps the space underneath dry and usable. The reinforced aluminum frames are built to resist corrosion and handle everyday outdoor conditions without warping, rusting, or fading. For specific load or wind ratings, we recommend checking the individual product details for the model you are considering.
We offer free shipping on most orders within the continental U.S., though orders shipping to Alaska or Hawaii are excluded from this offer. If your pergola arrives and is not the right fit, our 30-Day Return Policy gives you time to evaluate your purchase — please visit our Return Policy page for full details on how to initiate a return and what to expect from the process.
About Our Pergolas
A pergola is one of the most practical and visually rewarding additions you can make to an outdoor space. At its core, a pergola defines an area of your yard, patio, or deck, giving it a sense of purpose and structure that makes the space feel more like a room and less like open ground. Whether you are looking to create a shaded dining area, a relaxed lounging spot, or a defined zone for entertaining, the right pergola anchors the space and makes it genuinely more usable throughout the day. Buyers generally choose between aluminum-framed structures with adjustable roof systems, which offer flexible shade and weather control, and natural wood structures that bring warmth, character, and a more classic outdoor aesthetic. Key things to consider include the size of your space, how much shade versus open sky you want, whether weather protection matters to you, and how the material will hold up in your local climate. A well-chosen pergola is a long-term addition to your home, so it is worth taking the time to match the structure to how you actually plan to use your outdoor space.
