Questions We Get a Lot
A louvered pergola has adjustable slats that rotate to control how much sun and airflow pass through — useful if you want shade at midday but open sky in the evening. A fixed-roof canopy provides consistent shade and is typically simpler to assemble, but gives you no adjustment once it is up. Choose louvered if flexibility across seasons matters; choose fixed-canopy if you want a set-it-and-forget-it structure.
Most freestanding pergolas in this range fall below the square footage thresholds that trigger permit requirements, but that threshold varies by municipality and HOA — check locally before you order. The structures here are freestanding designs that anchor into the ground or deck surface rather than attaching to the home, which typically simplifies both permitting and installation.
When the louvers are fully closed, a well-engineered louvered pergola channels water through built-in gutter tracks in the frame — keeping the space beneath reasonably dry in moderate rainfall. Coverage in heavy or wind-driven rain will depend on the specific framing geometry and how well the structure is leveled during assembly. Check the product specs for drainage channel details before buying for a wet climate.
Pergolas ship free on most orders within the Continental U.S. (excludes AK/HI). If for any reason a pergola is not right for your space, you have 30 days from delivery to initiate a return — see our Return Policy for the full process and eligibility details. Because pergolas ship in large freight boxes, we recommend inspecting packaging carefully at delivery before signing.
About Our Pergolas
A pergola is a freestanding or semi-attached overhead structure designed to define and extend an outdoor living area — providing partial or full shade, framing a patio or deck, and giving hardscaped spaces a sense of architectural finish. Unlike a patio umbrella or sail shade, a pergola is a permanent fixture with structural framing, which means it reads as part of the space rather than an accessory dropped into it. Buyers typically choose between fixed-roof designs, which deliver consistent shade coverage, and adjustable-louver systems, which allow airflow and light to be dialed in throughout the day or across seasons. Frame material matters: powder-coated aluminum resists corrosion and holds its finish in UV-heavy environments, while engineered vinyl maintains dimensional stability without the need for repainting. Before selecting a size, account for the footprint of your paving, any clearance requirements from property lines, and whether local codes require a permit for permanent outdoor structures. A well-chosen pergola is a structural decision, not a furniture one — measure twice.
