Frequently Asked Questions

A pergola is a simple outdoor structure that adds shade, style, and function to your yard or patio. It usually includes:

• Vertical posts

• An open roof made of beams or slats that let sunlight filter through

Some pergolas stand alone in your yard. Others attach to your home or deck. Some pergolas have fixed roofs, while louvered ones let you open or close the roof to control sunlight and airflow.

A louver roof pergola lets you adjust the louvers in the roof. You can open or close the louvers manually or with a motor, using either a proprietary handheld remote or a smartphone app. This lets you control sunlight, shade, airflow, and rain protection with ease.

A pergola adds shade, defines your outdoor space, and creates a comfortable area for relaxing or entertaining.
