Can I Really Build My Own DIY Pergola Kit?

A pergola or cabana is a great home addition that will cool an outdoor space, and unlock the full potential of your patio by creating shade and defining a relaxation space in which to gather for barbecues, dinner parties, or an evening with the family. Pergolas come in innumerable shapes and sizes from basic DIY pergola kits to luxurious and high-tech custom pergolas. If you are deciding between hiring a qualified pergola contractor or taking on a DIY pergola project, there are some important things to analyze first. What Can You Expect from a DIY Pergola Kit? There is a massive range of what structures fit into the definition of a “pergola.” Simple pergolas consist of columns supporting a frame with fixed slat louvers running across the roof. These basic fixed slat roofs create some shade as the sun traverses its daily course. Slightly elevated pergolas can be found with solid fixed roofs that block out the rain as well. These basic pergolas are readily available in DIY pergola kits through an array of online retailers. The kits range from $1,000 for a small 6’x6’ wood structure to upwards of $10,000 for larger structures with solid roofs. What Can You Expect from a Modern Custom Pergola? In contrast, custom high-end pergolas and modern cabanas are fabricated from lightweight-yet-durable aluminum that is custom extruded to meet the specifications of each pergola design. Custom pergolas can incorporate solid fixed roof designs or motorized adjustable louvered roofs that open and close at the touch of a button. Our R-Blade Pergola features unique dual-walled louvers that close tightly enough to seal out the rain. Intuitive, embedded technology in modern pergolas bring the amenities of the home to your patio. Features range from motorized retractable curtains and LED lighting, to optional integrated sensor arrays that enable modern pergolas to operate autonomously, adjusting the louvered roof as the weather changes from bright sun to an afternoon shower. Do You Have the Necessary DIY Skills? You have painted your house and you can change your lawn mower blade, but are you ready to build your own DIY pergola? Kits will come with assembly instructions, and most manufacturers will make those available on their websites. Always take the time to review the steps in the manual before you purchase a pergola kit. Regardless of the size of the pergola kit, you will need to dig and pour concrete footings, wrangle large wooden columns, and square them in the setting concrete. Then you will be working on assembling the frame, hoisting lumber, louvers, and hardware up and down a ladder in a choreographed dance with a willing accomplice. With the pergola structure in place, you can now start on the accoutrements, such as wiring for lighting and fans, running water for an outdoor kitchen, or mountings for an outdoor TV. If this aerial ballet of lumber and elbow grease sounds like it is outside your DIY comfort level, go ahead and jump to the bottom of this article to learn how to choose the right contractor. Do You Want to Wrangle with Permitting? Whether talking about fabricating DIY pergolas or DIY louvered cabanas, outdoor living projects of this scale are akin to building a home addition, and the permitting required is often equally as rigorous. Building codes in each locality vary but are universally confusing to the uninitiated. It will be imperative that your pergola or cabana abide by all applicable building codes. Local building officials can often provide some direction on the process which starts with your submission of a building plan stamped by a certified engineer. These plans will require approval from building, electrical, and in coastal or wetland areas, environmental reviews. With all the approvals in place, you can secure a building permit and get to work. The building department will likely want to visit your project when completed to ensure all codes were adhered to. Therefore cutting corners is both unsafe and ill-advised. Azenco K-Bana Skips the Pergola Permit If you read about what it takes to assemble your own DIY patio cover, but were put-off by the permitting process, one alternative to a DIY pergola kit is a fully customizable DIY cabana like our Azenco K-Bana. This modular cabana product allows you to mix and match varying sized cabana frames to fit the layout of your patio. You can choose from solid, louvered or sliding wall panels. The same goes for the roof that can be optimized with manually adjusted louvers. K-Bana are usually considered “furniture” under most building codes, so they often do not require a pergola permit While a K-Bana project possible for a skilled DIYer, we still recommend leveraging the expertise of our dealer partners who have been properly trained to install the cabana. How to Choose the Right Contractor Has this thought experiment sworn you off a DIY pergola project? If so, then your next step is to find a qualified pergola contractor in your area. Luckily, we can help. Check out these tips for choosing a pergola contractor in our blog post How to choose the right contractor for your outdoor living project.

The Right Luxury Louvered Roof Makes Any Outdoor Living Space Truly Sumptuous.

Adding a luxury louvered roof to your outdoor living space brings cooling shade to a sun-beaten patio. The structure also adds an architectural element to your outdoor space. Even a DIY pergola kit, which can be found for as little as $1,000 through online retailers, will enhance the look and livability of your sun-soaked patio. But to turn your patio into a truly luxurious outdoor destination, nothing will compare to structures with luxury louvered roofs. These modern pergolas go beyond simply creating shade to reach new levels of relation on your patio. Luxury Louvered Roof System v. Static Louvered Roof Simple pergola kits are basic structures. They often feature static roof slats that create partial shade as the sun traverses the afternoon sky. Static louvered roofs are unable to keep out the rain or full the sun. Today’s modern luxury louvered roofs are entirely self-contained systems capable of fine adjustments to their louvers. The adjustable louvers can be positioned in the fully-open position to allow complete sun to reach the patio. Alternatively, the louvers can be angled to create the perfect amount of shade, or closed completely to create full shade on the patio. The louvered roof system built into the Azenco R-Blade Pergola is unique to the market as it is designed to not only block the sun, but also to completely block out the rain as well. Luxury is a Motorized Pergola Roof Taking a patio cover to the next level of luxury, a motorized pergola roof puts louver adjustments in the palm of your hand. A simple handheld remote allows you to adjust the louvers without the need for manual hand cranks or extension rods to tweak the louvers. With embedded motors hidden in the aluminum pergola frame, a motorized roof means you do not have to interrupt your dinner party or take time away from the grill to adjust the louvers. Not all motorized louvered roof pergolas are the same, however. The Azenco R-Blade features dual motors rather than a single motor design found in most motorized pergolas. With motors adjusting the louvers from both ends of the pergola frame, we reduce the stress on the louvers to prevent warping over time. Warped louvers lead to leaky roofs, and our custom pergolas are designed to last a lifetime. Hands-Free Control of Luxury Louvered Roofs With our modern high-tech pergolas, your luxury options extend beyond simply motorizing the operations. We can also turn your patio cover into a voice-activated pergola, allowing you to use simple voice commands via Apple’s Siri, Google Assistant, and Amazon’s Alexa. So, if you are in the house and see your loved one napping away the afternoon on the patio, you can simply tell Siri to close the pergola louvers to give them the shade they need to stay cool. The highest level of luxury louvered roofs makes your pergola roof completely autonomous. With an embedded sensor array, your smart pergola will monitor changing weather and adjust the louvers as it changes. The sensor array will track rain showers and automatically close the louvered roof at the first sign of a shower. It will also monitor high winds, opening the louvers to mitigate updrafts when potentially damaging gusts blow through. For colder climates, a thermal sensor can watch for freezing temperatures and open the louvers to prevent snow build-up. Integrated Luxury Amenities Beyond luxury louvered roofs, innovative pergolas also bring luxury amenities to your patio. To make your patio a more private retreat, motorized privacy screens can retract into the frame. Similarly, privacy screens can be swapped for insect screens to keep out mosquitos, or swapped for a sheer curtain material that can partially block the sun to create a luxury resort feel on the patio. Other cooling amenities like patio fans, misting machines, etc. can be easily incorporated into a custom pergola design as well as embedded LED lighting to keep the party going into the evening. Custom Pergola Colorways Bringing a luxury feel to the patio might begin with the functionality of pergolas with luxury louvered roofs, but the style of those roofs is what will make a lasting first impression on guests. An automated pergola with a motorized louvered roof is fabricated from lightweight-yet-durable aluminum that is powder coated to prevent oxidation. We can customize the color of your pergola’s powder coating to meet your home’s unique style. You could opt for a timeless all white pergola, color match the pergola to your home’s exterior, or choose a two-tone style with a frame to match the home and white pergola louvers. Conclusion If you would like to explore how pergolas with luxury louvered roofs will instantly bring a new level of luxury to your home, contact us today and we will have one of our expert dealers in your local area reach out for a consultation.

Azenco Partner SYZYGY Global Awarded 2022 Aurora Award

Earlier this month, Azenco partner SYZYGY Global was awarded a 2022 Aurora Award from the Florida Home Builders Association (FHBA) for the Best Commercial Project Under 20,000 square feet for its design of a truly unique porte cochere walkway at the exclusive Admiral’s Cove Country Club in Jupiter, Florida. The Aurora Awards have been given by the FHBA, an affiliate of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) since 1969. Each year a panel of acclaimed designers and builders receive hundreds of entries throughout the Southern United States. For SYZYGY to be recognized by our peers for such a stunning design is a well-deserved honor for the entire SYZYGY team. The SYZYGY-designed porte cochere at Admiral’s Cove Country Club, one of the most exclusive private communicates in Florida, was a massive undertaking. SYZYGY’s elevated design called for 13 custom angled pergola zones to cover the entire pathway winding from the arrival portico to the spa and wellness center. Leveraging the clean exterior lines of the Azenco R-Blade, SYZYGY created an elegant architectural piece that not only fit the style of the club’s renovation plans but also ensured that arriving guests were protected from the South Florida sun and routine rain showers. “The designers and installers that come together on the SYZYGY Global team are massively talented, and this Aurora Award is a marvelous recognition of that talent,” said Charles Chapus, Founder and President of Azenco International. “We work hard to make our outdoor living products the best-quality and most-elegant on the market, but with the design genius and installation expertise of a team like SYZYGY our products truly shine.” Charle Chapus – Azenco’s CEO For its Aurora Award-winning porte cochere walkway design, the SYZYGY team worked closely with Azenco to lay out the unique geometry of the multiple interlaced pergolas that came together to create the walkway cover. The Azenco manufacturing team meticulously extruded each panel of high-quality aluminum, and coated each with a two-tone finish, featuring classic white pergola columns and frames combined with a wood grain coating on the pergola louvers. “When powerhouses like SYZYGY and Azenco come together with a shared passion for surpassing the expectations of clients like the Admiral’s Cove Country Club, the result is a truly unique project like this one. To have all that hard work recognized by the designers and builders judging the Aurora Awards is really special,” said Jason Herring, Chief Executive Officer.

Four Things to Know About Aluminum Pergolas That Open and Close

Pergolas have long been popular additions to outdoor living spaces. Not only do they keep your patio cool, but offer a dynamic architectural accent for any backyard, pool deck or patio. Pergolas can be crafted with innumerable roof styles. A fixed roof will create fulltime shade on the patio, and is often favored for a pergola attached to the house, especially if it is covering an outdoor dining space. To take your patio cover to the next level, operable pergolas that give you control over the opening and closing of the roof are ideal. So, let’s explore the top four things you need to know about aluminum pergolas that open and close. How Do Aluminum Pergolas Open and Close? Adjustable louvered roof pergolas are relatively modern creations, but technological advancements continue to push the capabilities of these structures at a rapid pace. Pergola louvers can be opened and closed manually with a hand crank, but modern pergolas incorporate a motorized louvered roof that opens and closes at the push of a button. Operated by embedded whisper-quiet motors, the motorized roof can be finely adjusted to control the angle of the louvers. To take aluminum pergolas that open and close to the next level, you can choose to incorporate smart sensors that autonomously control the roof operation. An embedded rain sensor will monitor for showers and close the roof at the first sign of rain. A wind sensor will track gusting wind, and automatically open the louvers to prevent damage from potentially dangerous updrafts. And a temperature sensor will keep watch for freezing conditions, opening the roof to prevent snow build up. Why Choose a Pergola Roof That Opens and Closes? The ability to open and close the roof of your pergola offers numerous advantages. Motorized louvered roof pergolas can adjust the angle of their louvers to allow full sun on the patio, close partially to create shade and promote airflow, or close completely to block out the sun. Some louvered roof pergolas, like the Azenco R-Blade, can even seal the roof tightly to block our rain, sleet and snow. With this fine control over the pergola roof you can enjoy your patio in any weather conditions and any season. Aluminum pergolas that open and close also up the ante on your home’s outdoor style. The architectural structure of a pergola can deliver a stylish accent to any backyard, pool deck or patio, but the shadows that are cast through open louvers can also become an integral aspect of your patio design. Additionally, pergolas fabricated from aluminum carry a protective exterior powder coating which can be color matched to fit your personal style. Options can include a classic all white pergola for a timeless style, or a two-tone pergola with white louvers that create a sense of space paired with a pergola frame and support columns that match your home’s exterior. What Should You Look for When Choosing an Adjustable Pergola Roof? Not all aluminum pergolas that open and close are created equal. So, it is imperative to look for some key design and quality features in your adjustable louvered roof pergola. When shopping for your pergola, pay particular attention to: Craftsmanship and quality – First and foremost look for a manufacturer using the highest quality aluminum and powder coatings and a manufacturer willing to guarantee the quality of its materials with reliable long-term warranties.Seamless frame – Look for a pergola roof in which the louvers extend into the pergola frame; this design element ensures rainwater is channeled all the way to the integrated gutter system and will not drip around the edges.Dual-walled louvers – Simple single layer louvers can easily warp over time; look for dual-walled louvers which provide superior heat insulation and are better designed to capture all the rainwater.Single extrusion louvers and panels – High-quality custom pergolas are individually crafted for each pergola project and feature single extrusion aluminum panels which eliminate the potential for leaks at joints. What is the Cost of Aluminum Pergolas That Open and Close” Budgets for modern aluminum pergolas vary greatly based on the overall footprint and the customizations you desire to meet your unique outdoor living lifestyle. Pricing varies greatly depending on the project specifications, local building code requirements, and many other factors, so anyone interested in exploring aluminum pergolas that open and close for their home should contact Azenco to be connected with one of our local expert designers.
