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 fact that they are expensive - doesn't mean they are quality.

Often what you're paying is just unnecessary 5-7 middlemen and their profit margins in the outdated home improvement supply chain.

We cut these middlemen and use the highest quality standardized manufacturing process.

This way, we can invest more into raw materials and craftsmanship and ensure superior quality equal to any of the custom pergola and, in many cases, surpassing it.

10-years minimum and covered by our limited warranty, but it's built to last at least 30 years with good upkeep, cleaning, and basic maintenance.

We offer a 10-years limited warranty on our pergolas against any manufacturing defects, including the aluminum and the manual louver opening and closing mechanisms.

Rainwater runs from the roof S-shaped blades, into the guttering and then drains down internally, through the legs.
