Louvered Pergolas

A louvered pergola is the only roof that gives you full sun one minute and full rain cover the next -- the blades rotate, so you're not choosing between shade and a dry patio, you get both from the same structure. We carry Equinox by Four Seasons, a motorized, built-to-order system in two tiers.

Equinox Classic vs. Equinox Ultra: What's Actually Different

Same manufacturer, same aluminum frame, same 20-year structural warranty. The difference is the blade.

In plain terms: every Equinox roof is made of metal slats that tilt open and closed. The Classic's slats are one metal panel each, with a soft weather-strip where they meet when closed -- it still closes tight and keeps rain out, for less money. The Ultra's slats are two metal panels stacked together, with edges that lock together like a zipper instead of the weather-strip -- stronger and seals even tighter, for more money.

Swipe sideways to see every column.

Equinox Classic Equinox Ultra
Blade construction Single-wall aluminum louver, wool-pile weather seal Double-wall blade, three internal support walls, interlocking winged tips
Seal when closed Good -- blades meet with a weather-stripped seal Tighter -- tips interlock instead of just meeting
Price vs. the other tier Lower -- less aluminum per blade Higher -- the heavier-duty blade costs more to build

Frame, finish, warranty Identical to the Ultra Identical to the Classic
Best fit Regular but not constant use; budget-conscious Rentals, storm-prone climates, or running the roof hard every season

Neither is the "better" structure across the board -- they're the same company's platform at two price points. If you're not sure which one your property needs, call or text us at 1 800 914 0074 and tell us how you'll use it. We'll tell you plainly which tier fits, not just which one costs more.

Which Size Fits Your Space

Both tiers come in 12' x 10', 12' x 12', 15' x 12', and 20' x 12' (multi-bay and custom spans available, ask us), in White, Sandstone, Clay, Black, and Bronze. Every system is custom-priced and built to order -- there's no price shown on these pages because no single number means anything until we know your size and options.
