Modern Louvered Garden Pergola

• Background:  The Louvered Pergola is a variation on our traditional garden pergola design. Pergolas were traditionally built using the best quality wood available and then left to age, looking as if they had been there "forever." You have the flexibility to leave the louvers open in the winter when sunlight is at a premium, and close them on hot days when you want to cool the area. We also offer a fixed louvered option to save on costs while providing you maximum amounts of shade with a decent visibility.
• Begin in the Build it Your Way section  next to the main photo by entering the size you think will work for the space. Then, check the wood grades and other options. Each Pergola is built your way. Our dedicated team of Design Engineers stay with your ideas until you fall completely in love with the design. Your Modern Louvered Garden Pergola can be freestanding or it can be attached to your home or building. Each detail can remain a standard option, or be customized as needed. If you want to add a detail or a size you do not see, just say the word. 
• Waterproof Pergolas: Traditionally, Pavilions have closed roofs and are 100% waterproof while Pergolas are open to the sky. If you would like to have all of the options from full sun to completely dry shade, our Modern Louvered Pergola is the design for you. For a fully waterproof Pergola, we will seal the top with a rain guards.  Let us know your preferences by typing "add rain guard" in the comment section as you checkout, or simply let your Design Engineer know as you review every last detail of your Pergola together. 
• Easy Design/Sizing Support:  Our team of In-house Engineers will mock up a set of drawings unique to your order's specifications, and email them to you within 5 business days. With 20+ years of experience, we've honed our Design-to-Done process so that you can get your order started without having all the details figured out. Let us bring our expertise to the table-- together we can hone the details to give you the best of structure and style. Generally, just a few emails with your Design Engineer is all you will need to get every detail just the way you want. Start by choosing your favorite style and entering in the dimensions you think will work. Choose each of your options to the best of your knowledge and either request a quote or send in a 1/3 deposit to get the Design process started. 
• Details Matter:  All joints are notched so that your Pergola will never sag, warp, twist, or shrink. Each timber is finely sanded for a silky smooth finish. We use the best sealants on the market. We make the best wood shade structures you can buy. Yes, your Pergola is sturdy enough to hold Solar Panels if you wish. Check out our competition carefully. Does any other manufacturer offer up to 30 year decay warranties? 
• Built to Last:  We are a restorative forestry company. We hand select the best, fattest timbers from our forestlands for your project. Everything is over built with real wood and steel-- we never use plastic/vinyl/ compressed glue/plywood, flimsy hardware or nails.  Nothing lasts longer outdoors than California Redwood.  We have over 25 years experience building, shipping and installing shade structures all over the country.
• You Install or We Install?:  Once you sign off on your drawings, your Pergola is fully erected and finely finished in the shop. All the hardware is included. Just bolt the timbers back together. See the Assembly & Care tab above for more information.
• Our White Glove Assembly is available in all 50 states.  If you'd like us to do the assembly for you, we can send our installation team anywhere in the US. Just choose the White Glove Assembly option as you check out. This service includes assembly, anchoring, and details like adding flashing, curtain rods and roofing. White Glove Assembly costs anywhere between 25-45% of the cost of your structure. We are happy to provide a specific quote for you during the Design process as we finalize the details together. If you have an old structure that needs to be taken down and disposed of, let us know. We can generally add this to the scope of work. 
• Turnaround Time & Financing:  We can build in 2-3 weeks, but we recommend ordering 2-3 months in advance to give you time to fine tune each detail via our design and drawing process. You can take advantage of our 1/3rd deposit option to spread the cost over several monthly payments.
