Before buying: measure the real slab/deck, verify permit and wind/snow requirements locally, and confirm current model specifications with the manufacturer. PergolaSpec has not physically tested every product listed.
What we evaluate
We compare current manufacturer documentation for dimensions, anchoring, materials, controls, drainage, warranty and operating limitations. We favor model-specific evidence over generic category claims.
What we do not claim
We do not imply hands-on testing where none occurred, calculate structural capacity from marketing dimensions, or replace local permit, engineering or installer review.
Updates and corrections
Pages show a review date. Product specifications and program terms change, so readers should verify the exact current model. Corrections can be sent to [email protected].
