Pergolas

The Pro+ ships at a standard height of about 8.2 feet and is not adjustable out of the box. Some customers raise it by setting the posts on small platforms or lower it by trimming the legs, but trimming the legs voids the warranty, so we recommend planning your surface height first. If ceiling height is a priority for your project, ask a pergola expert before you order and we will help you plan it.

Choose freestanding if the pergola will sit out in the yard, over a patio, or by the pool as its own structure. Choose wall-mounted (available on the Horizon and Apex) if you want to attach it to the house to create a seamless indoor-outdoor room off a back wall. Both configurations carry the same materials, ratings, and warranty.

These are the two things that make the Pro+ frame so solid. TitanCore™ is the frame itself, reinforced with corner brackets and bracing on the inside that make it more than 30% stronger and stiffer. WindLock™ is the way the louvers are held in place, so they rattle far less in the wind and stand up better to strong gusts. Together, they are why a hand-cranked pergola can be certified to handle 120 mph winds.

The Horizon uses double-layer louvers with built-in dampeners, so they stay quiet in a storm, seal out the rain, and keep it up to 15°F cooler underneath. The Apex goes a step further with AeroCore Pro™ dual-chamber louvers. Each one is a single solid piece of aluminum with hollow chambers inside for extra strength, and there is a rubber seal between every blade to keep water out. This is what lets both pergolas stand up to Category 5 winds and heavy snow.

The Horizon and Apex include integrated SoftGlow™ dual-color LED lighting: warm and cool white, recessed into the structure with zero visible wiring, so the space stays usable and beautiful after sunset. It is built into the pergola, not bolted on afterward, and it is dimmable on the Apex. The Pro+ does not include integrated lighting, but LED lighting can be added as an accessory.

Both motorized models let you open, close, and tilt the louvers (0 to 135° of rotation) from the Hansø smartphone app, the included remote, or your voice through Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit, all out of the box, with no extra hardware. You can run it from the couch, from inside, or remotely. The motor is sealed for permanent outdoor exposure and runs virtually silent.

It is an optional add-on for the motorized models. The Hansø rain sensor detects the first drops of rain and automatically closes your pergola louvers, so your furniture and your evening never get caught out in a downpour. You can add it at checkout or later.

Yes. Every Hansø pergola is a system, not just a frame. Depending on the model you can add retractable or motorized side shades for sun and privacy, aluminum slat walls or glass walls to create a sheltered near-enclosed room, electric heaters to extend the season, LED lighting, and even Bluetooth speakers. Add what you want up front, or expand later.

All ratings are independently tested. The Pro+ is rated up to 120 mph, which is Category 3 hurricane strength. The Horizon is Category 5 rated, tested to 165 mph with the louvers closed and properly anchored to the ground, and 120 mph with them open. The Apex is the strongest of the three, tested to 167 mph and also Category 5. For reference, anything over 157 mph is the strongest category of hurricane there is.

The Pro+ is rated for roof loads up to 25 PSF, the Horizon up to 60 PSF, and the Apex up to 65 PSF, more weight than sits on the average rooftop. And with any of them, opening the louvers lets snow fall straight through, so there is nothing to accumulate. Winter becomes just another Tuesday underneath.

Close the louvers and the roof sheds water. On the Pro+, rain runs off the angled S-shaped louvers into the frame’s built-in channels. On the Horizon and Apex, the double-layer or dual-chamber louvers channel water into an integrated gutter system routed down through the poles themselves: nothing drips, nothing drains outside the structure, nothing you see or hear. In a rare once-a-decade downpour there may be minor overflow, exactly like a house gutter in an extreme storm, and the system clears within minutes.

No. Aluminum does not rust or rot, and it will not warp like wood. The Pro+’s three-layer powder coat and the Horizon and Apex’s AkzoNobel premium coating are built to resist chips, scratches, UV, and fading, and the AkzoNobel finish carries a 10-year guarantee against fade and corrosion. All it asks for is an occasional wipe-down.

The Horizon and especially the Apex are built for it. Both use marine-grade SUS304 stainless baseplates and an AkzoNobel coating trusted on luxury yachts and by NASA, engineered to shrug off salt air, poolside chemicals, and sub-zero winters. The Apex is our first recommendation for a true coastal or poolside install.

Yes. The Horizon and Apex are designed from the ground up as outdoor smart structures, not indoor gadgets moved outside. The motor, wiring, and lighting are sealed for permanent exposure to rain, heat, and cold, and the 10-year warranty covers the mechanism. It is engineered to live outdoors, year-round.

Yes. Optional professional installation is available across 40+ U.S. states through our trusted installer network, covering site prep, footings, assembly, LED and motor integration, a quality check, and cleanup, backed by a workmanship warranty. Pricing varies by location, model, site conditions, and accessories, so we provide a flat-rate quote before scheduling. Reach the installation team at InstallationTeam@hansohome.com or +1 256 414 8620. You are also free to hire your own contractor through a service like Angi or Houzz.

A flat, stable surface. You can anchor to concrete, resin, paving slabs, porcelain or other tile, and wooden or composite decking. For tile, we recommend small concrete pads under the feet, or a full concrete base, to maximize stability and lifespan.

Every Hansø pergola ships in 12 to 14 weeks for $395 per order, direct from the factory to your driveway. The timeline is deliberate: shipping direct, with no warehouses or dealers in between, is what keeps the price where it is. Limited warehouse inventory is sometimes available for faster delivery, so ask the sales team about current stock. Optional shipping protection ($195) replaces any damaged, missing, or stolen parts directly, with no carrier paperwork, to keep your project on schedule.

Yes. It can be relocated once installed, and fully disassembled if you ever move house. Because the parts are bolted rather than welded, taking it down and setting it up again is straightforward.
