So, without further ado, let’s delve into the world of luxurious outdoor living and explore the exceptional features of this elegant and practical living space.
Feedback Luxury pergola 12’0″ x Extended Length (13′ – 20′) – Louvered Pergola
My former classmate Mr. James was visiting me. It turned out that he was using a Luxury pergola 12’0″ x Extended Length (13′ – 20′) – Louvered Pergola. I asked him in detail about this pergola and learned a lot of useful information.
Kyle Baue: Mr. James, could you share your first impressions of the Luxury pergola 12’0″ x Extended Length (13′ – 20′) – Louvered Pergola?
Mr. James: Certainly. The pergola is quite an impressive structure. It stands 10’2″ with the louvers in an upright position, and the distance from the ground to the bottom of the frame is 9′. The height and size give it a majestic presence.
Kyle Baue: Interesting, has the height ever been an issue for you?
Mr. James: Not for me personally, but I understand that for some, a 9′ post and a 10′ pergola might be too tall. Thankfully, they offer a solution where the post can be cut down free of charge for those who need it.
Kyle Baue: Great to know. How has the pergola held up against weather conditions?
Mr. James: It’s been doing great. The company recommends on-site cutting for a perfect fit under a specific part of your roof which ensures the best protection against weather conditions.
Kyle Baue: That’s reassuring. And can the pergola be installed near a pool?
Mr. James: Yes, it can. As long as it’s installed on a 5-inch concrete pad or on pier footings if there’s no concrete. However, they advise against attaching it to pavers due to the lack of structural support.
Kyle Baue: Is it possible to combine more than one pergola?
Mr. James: Absolutely. You can combine two or more pergolas. Each has its own power cord, transformer, and remote control, which makes it very convenient.
Kyle Baue: What about powering it? Is it complicated?
Mr. James: Not at all, you just plug it into a standard 3 prong, 110-volt outlet. Most houses have exterior outlets so it’s pretty straightforward.
Kyle Baue: Can you attach any extras, such as lights or fans?
Mr. James: While they don’t sell lights and fans, the pergolas are designed to accommodate them. They recommend using the Center Beam Accessory for mounting.
Kyle Baue: And is it possible to attach the pergola to a house?
Mr. James: The unit is designed to be freestanding and due to the weight of the unit and installation difficulties, they don’t recommend attaching it to a house.
Kyle Baue: Thank you for all the insights, Mr. James. It sounds like the Luxury Pergola is quite a versatile and practical choice for outdoor spaces.
Mr. James: It truly is. It adds style, comfort, and functionality to any outdoor space.
Size and Design
The pergola stands 10’2″ tall with the louvers standing upright, providing an impressive, luxurious look. The clearance from the ground to the bottom of the frame is 9′. For customers who find this too tall, the post can be cut down free of charge for a customized fit.
Installation
The pergola is designed for a precise fit, and we recommend on-site cutting if it needs to fit under a part of your roof. If installed on a 5-inch concrete pad, typically no pier footings are required. However, for locations without concrete, a pier footing of 24 inches in diameter and 36 inches deep is recommended. Please ensure the footing is below the frost line. Attaching to pavers is not recommended as it does not provide sufficient structural support or counterweight.

Customers can combine two or more pergolas to fit their space. Each pergola has its own power cord, transformer, and remote control. Where two pergolas combine, only a single post is required.

The pergola is powered through a standard 3-prong, 110-volt outlet, making it easy to set up in most locations.
