American homeowners now have a new way to take their backyards to the next level. Award-winning company PERGOLUX’s pergolas transform patios and decks with sleek Scandinavian design. The company offers three stunning models that deliver shade from the sun, protection from the wind, and shelter from the rain. As a result, American homeowners can enjoy their outdoor spaces in all types of weather.
What’s a pergola?
A pergola is similar to a gazebo; both are visually striking outdoor structures composed of pillars that support a roof. In effect, they create an additional room in your house located outside. Many people use them to create an attractive place to lounge outdoors or gather with friends. They can also provide cover for outdoor pools or jacuzzis.
The main differences between a gazebo and a pergola are the roof and the ability to add accessories like LEDs, heaters, screens, and glass walls, making pergolas a much more versatile option. While gazebos have solid roofs that offer protection from the elements, pergola roofs usually have open slats. One of the revolutionary aspects of PERGOLUX’s design is that the open slats on their pergolas’ roofs can be closed, effectively turning them into gazebos. The homeowner gets to decide what kind of experience they want at that moment — an airy roof with openings or a closed roof that repels the rain.
But that’s not all. PERGOLUX pergolas can be customized with a variety of wall options. These may be composed of screens that slide up and down, wooden slats that deflect the wind, or glass panels that keep the winter at bay. Heaters can also be included. In this way, PERGOLUX pergolas can transform into three-season or even four-season sunrooms.
With the arrival of PERGOLUX pergolas, American consumers can now choose a pergola of superior quality.
Award-winning PERGOLUX pergolas
No matter which model you choose, PERGOLUX pergolas make a statement, imbuing your backyard with contemporary sophistication. Four color schemes are available: solid white, solid black, solid anthracite (dark gray), and an anthracite structure with white roof louvers.
To date, the company has won three prestigious awards for its design. In 2022, the International Design Awards (IDA) bestowed a Gold award on PERGOLUX and designer Henrik Johannessen for its Skydance model. In 2023, PERGOLUX earned an iF Design Award for its adaptable louvered roof. When PERGOLUX won a Red Dot Design Award in 2024, the jury stated, “With the PERGOLUX Series 2 [pergola], the living space can be stylishly extended to the outdoor area. The convenient roof-control system is particularly user-friendly.”
Moreover, PERGOLUX now boasts TÜV certification for all of its models after rigorously testing the wind resistance, snow load, strength, quality, and manufacturing processes of its pergolas — a feat no other pergolas have achieved — setting the company apart as an industry leader.
High-end, cost-effective PERGOLUX pergolas
PERGOLUX offers models starting from $5,000, while custom pergolas run for $25,000 or more. Even generic pergolas normally cost $10,000 or more, which is double PERGOLUX’s price. Since the company is currently offering a Black Friday sale, you can get a PERGOLUX pergola for as little as $3,600 if you act fast!
Since PERGOLUX’s products were designed and tested in Norway, they can easily weather inclement conditions. The roof slats overlap and have a downslope that steers rain into a gutter and away from the structure, and depending on the model, a PERGOLUX can handle anywhere between 10 to 50 pounds of snowfall per square foot. (If you anticipate heavier snowfall than that, it’s a simple matter to open the roof slats and permit the snow to fall through.) Since the pergola is made of powder-coated aluminum, it can remain outdoors all winter without damage.
Each of PERGOLUX’s three models is rated to withstand a different amount of wind. PERGOLUX’s most luxurious model is the Skydance S2, which can hold off winds of up to 100 miles per hour. This pergola features a motorized roof and special LED lighting integrated into the roof’s louvers. Four sizes are available: 10 feet by 10’, 10’ by 13’, 13’ by 13’, and 13’ by 19’.
For those who are looking for a structure with a motorized roof that can withstand gusts up to 85 miles per hour, the Sundream S2 is the right choice. This pergola features LED lighting along its perimeter. Six sizes are available: 10 feet by 10’, 10’ by 13’, 10’ by 16’, 13’ by 13’, 13’ by 16’, and 13’ by 19’. This is the company’s most popular model.
PERGOLUX’s most basic pergola is the Pergola S2. This model’s roof needs to be operated manually, and LED lighting is optional. It can handle wind speeds up to 70 miles per hour. Seven different sizes are available: 10 feet by 10’, 10’ by 13’, 10’ by 16’, 10’ by 19’, 13’ by 13’, 13’ by 16’, and 13’ by 19’.
Another benefit of PERGOLUX pergolas is that ordinary people can assemble PERGOLUX pergolas without specialized help in only a few hours.
Installing PERGOLUX pergolas is a snap
PERGOLUX pergolas are standardized kits that normal homeowners can erect in a single afternoon. The company estimates that two people can erect the pergola itself in only three to five hours. Budget another hour for each wall of screens or wooden slats. The kit also comes with an easy-to-understand installation guide. The pergola should be bolted into place, so make sure you have an appropriate surface for the floor, like a wood or concrete patio.
PERGOLUX products are virtually maintenance-free, while pergolas from other companies commonly require routine maintenance two to three times per year. Every PERGOLUX pergola also comes with a 10-year warranty.
Moreover, PERGOLUX expedites shipping, which means customers can expect their pergola to arrive only five to 15 days after placing their order. In contrast, other companies with standardized pergola kits tend to take a month to fulfill their orders. Customers usually have to wait three to six months for custom-made pergolas.
The Ultimate backyard gathering place for family and friends
With PERGOLUX’s entrance into the U.S. market, American consumers can now secure high-quality, sophisticated pergolas at a fraction of the price they would previously have paid.
Bring family and friends together for the ultimate backyard experience. Gather underneath your new PERGOLUX pergola and make the memories of a lifetime.
