Questions We Get a Lot
A louvered pergola has adjustable slats you rotate to control sunlight and airflow — open them wide for full sun, close them to block rain or glare. A fixed-roof pergola like a cedar trellis design lets filtered light through at all times but gives you no adjustment. Choose louvered if your climate shifts or your usage changes throughout the day.
Bare steel rusts and bare aluminum oxidises — the frame quality comes down to the coating and the wall thickness, not the metal alone. Our aluminum-frame pergolas use powder-coated finishes that seal the surface against moisture and UV degradation. Powder coating is far more durable than paint and won't peel, bubble, or chalk the way budget spray finishes do.
Yes — when the louvers close, built-in drainage channels route water along the frame and away from the structure rather than pooling on the slats or dripping onto you. The drainage joints are where cheap pergolas fail first: water sits, seals crack, and the frame corrodes from the inside. A pergola with integrated drainage handles this at the design level, not as an afterthought.

About Our Pergolas
A pergola is a permanent outdoor structure designed to define space, manage sunlight, and extend how long you actually use your patio. The problem with most of what's on the market is straightforward: thin-wall frames flex under load, drainage joints fail after the first wet season, and surface coatings chalk and peel within two years. That's not wear — that's a design shortcut. When you're buying a structure meant to anchor your outdoor space for years, the frame material, the coating process, and the way the roof handles water are the only details that matter. Aluminum frames with proper powder-coat finishes resist corrosion and UV damage without ongoing maintenance. Cedar holds up well in open-air environments when the joinery is sound. Adjustable roof systems earn their price when your climate requires flexibility — shade in summer, ventilation in spring, rain control in autumn. A well-built pergola doesn't just shelter a space. It makes the outdoor room feel permanent, considered, and worth furnishing properly.
