The K-BANA™ is a manually operated louvered pergola. The roof system can be fully closed or opened at a 90° angle. This adaptable feature allows you to control solar light rays. It offers protection against the elements without having to plug it into any power outlet. Made in the USA with the best quality aluminum and powder coating, it has a lifetime value.

The manual pergola comes in two standard sizes: 10’x10’ and 12’x12, and 2 standard colors:

  • White Frame with White Louvers – Powder Coating
  • Black Frame with White Louvers – Powder Coating

These specifications in colors and sizes make the K-BANA™ a time and cost-efficient product. Unlock your lifetime of shade in as quickly as 3 weeks.

2. A Modular Design

Just like combining Lego bricks builds the craziest shapes, combining K-BANA™ pergolas creates unique designs. Add options to make this standard product a unique addition.

Endless Layouts Possibilities

Our manual louver pergolas are modular as their design offers endless layout possibilities. Install them side by side, make it an L-shape or a U-shape, and feel free to customize it. The conception of the K-BANA™ allows for the combination of structures, helping the pergolas adapt to any residential or commercial space. The K-BANA™ is a great option for a hotel’s outdoor area. It is not just a functional product; it also has a luxurious style that can be fully customized to match your desired aesthetic.

Many Options To Choose From

The K-BANA™ offers other customization options to choose from. Adding one or several privacy walls will give you control over the elements but also privacy. Our walls are made with 5.5 inches slats, keeping out the sun and prying eyes like the ones in our R-SHADE™ and R-BLADE™ pergolas. Also, our manual pergola is offered in 2 versions: with its in-built decking frame or with no floors at all. A pergola with a white structure and a tropical wood deck would be the perfect combination of contemporary and traditional styles.

A Real Louvered Pergola With Lighter Features

We want to make your outdoor experience worry free. In addition to being low-maintenance, the K-BANA™ integrates a water management system. Our manual pergola features a beam-mounted gutter combined with an optimized louver. Every roof component is tapered and features a pre-gutter. This drainage system was designed to make your K-BANA™ still a usable outdoor space even when a rain shower wants to trouble your Sunday family cookout.

Additionally, the louver of the K-BANA™ is partially dual-walled, making it strong and resistant to harsh weather conditions.

The K-BANA™ respects the detail-oriented philosophy accented by Azenco Outdoor. The cabana/pergola has no exposed fasteners, clean lines and studied proportions.

Besides its unique and flexible design, the K-BANA™ has another great benefit. Thanks to its clever design, the cabana can be installed almost anywhere, often without a permit. The majority of the United States does not require a permit for a structure smaller than 144 sq.ft, including the 2 standard sizes of the K-BANA™. The model with the customized built-in floor is considered high-end furniture, meaning it is not subject to permitting anywhere in the USA.
