In addition to being versatile, aluminum pergolas are also easy to operate. An aluminum pergola can be adjusted using the click of a remote-control button or smart device. Feature such as wind and rain-sensing technology can also be added for optimal performance.

Customizable

Aluminum pergolas offer custom amenities and sizing options to meet your needs. There are a variety of wrap options for aluminum, such as faux wood wrap. You can also add custom trim and accents, motorized screens for pest protection, as well as lighting, heating, and ceiling fans.
