10 Step-by-Step Guide on How to Design Your Dream Backyard

Normally high-quality pergola like ours from a local contractor would cost $30 000, $80 000 or even $150 000. (These are the actual quotes our customers got before discovering us)

This happens because a typical supply chain involves about 7-10 parties, each adding their own +70-200% profit margins at each stage of the supply chain.

Involving parties like Local Contractor, Local Distributor, Regional Distributor, Intermediary Warehouse, Brand, Manufacturer etc.

We cut up to 5 middlemen and their profit margins and bring this product directly to the consumer at about 8x better price.

At the same time, improving quality and reducing manufacturing defects due to standardized manufacturing.

At Hanso, we take pride in the quality of our pergolas. They come with a limited 10-year warranty and are built to last 30+ years.

The cheap options you can find on Amazon or Costco are cheap for a reason. We incentivize you to look at their reviews.

Wooden ones are known to come with splintered wood and start rotting, moving and disassembling within the first 2-3 years of use. They often are unstable in winds and could easily fall on your loved ones.

Cheap aluminum ones often come with bent metal legs and scratches (poor shipping). The majority of them are also not entirely water-proof, wobbly and unsafe to be sitting under. They also tend not to last longer than 3-4 years.

Custom pergola can cost $30 000, $80 000 or even $150 000.

The S-shaped blades on the roof direct rainwater into the guttering system, which then channels the water down through the legs, internally.

In the event of extreme weather phenomena or torrential downpours, minor leakage may occur. This is because the drainage system may struggle to handle the sheer volume of water, causing it to overflow, akin to the guttering on a house or an external drain.

Compatible surfaces include concrete, resin, paving slabs, wooden and composite decking, porcelain tiles, and various other types of tile.
