Material choice
Aluminum or wood? Compare long-term upkeep.
Both materials can define a patio. Aluminum avoids rot and recurring refinishing, while wood offers a natural look with more maintenance.
| Ownership factor | Max aluminum system | Typical wood pergola |
|---|---|---|
| Routine finish care | Wash and inspect | Periodic staining, sealing or painting |
| Moisture response | Will not rot | Can check, warp or rot over time |
| Assembly | Pre-cut, pre-drilled system | Often measured and cut on site |
| Roof control | Adjustable louver option | Usually fixed rafters or separate cover |
| Visual consistency | Uniform powder-coated finish | Natural variation and weathering |

Factory-prepared frame
Pre-cut sections, pre-drilled connection points, labeled parts, and project documents reduce measuring and cutting at the jobsite.

Pergola FAQ
What Homeowners Ask Before They Order
How long does assembly take?
An experienced two- to three-person crew can typically assemble the structural frame in about 45 minutes once the site and anchors are ready. Louvers, drainage components, final anchoring, wiring, and accessories take additional time.
Is the aluminum structure maintenance-free?
No outdoor structure is maintenance-free. Aluminum eliminates wood rot and seasonal refinishing, but the frame still needs occasional washing and routine checks of fasteners, seals, gutters, drains, and moving parts.
Will a closed louvered roof keep rain out?
Compatible roof packages close to shed rain into integrated gutters and down through the posts. Wind-driven rain can still enter through the open sides, and severe storms may exceed the drainage system's design conditions.
Can you ship internationally with DDP delivery?
Yes. We can quote factory-direct DDP delivery to supported destinations worldwide. Send the country, postal code, complete delivery address, and access details; the written quote confirms the route, included duties and taxes, unloading responsibility, and any destination-specific exclusions.
Do I need a building permit?
Possibly. Ask your local building department about setbacks, height limits, design loads, footing requirements, and required submittals. Rules vary by jurisdiction, structure size, attachment method, and site conditions.
What comes in the kit?
The approved bill of materials defines the shipment. A typical kit includes the aluminum frame, roof components, connection hardware, and assembly documents. Footings, anchors, tools, electrical work, and optional accessories are listed separately when applicable.
Can I install one beside a pool?
Yes, if the mounting surface, required clearances, and local pool and electrical rules allow it. Have a qualified local installer review the anchor locations, bonding or electrical needs, and access around the pool.
Can I add lights or screens later?
Some options can be added later, but factory preparation may be required. Confirm lighting, retractable screens, privacy slats, and glass panels before production so the correct wiring chases, mounting points, and frame sections are included.
