Mirador pergola: which model to buy

Which Mirador pergola is best?

On our published score, the Mirador 111DA comes out on top of the Mirador range, and it is not close: aluminum frame and double-layer aluminum louvers, 102 mph and 26.6 psf with professional assembly and anchoring, a 4+1 year warranty, and on November 15, 2026 the same $2,399 as the Mirador 111S at 10×13. The 111DA's own 10×10 also cost $2,399 that day, so at the small size the 111S ($1,499) is the better deal.

The 111S is the model most people mean by "Mirador pergola": aluminum posts and beams, galvanized steel louvers, a hand crank, 90.2 mph and 20.8 psf with professional anchoring. The 111S E-Motion adds a remote-controlled motor and color LEDs for $3,299 at 10×13. The Mirador 80S is all steel and the cheapest way in, from $1,099 for 10×10.

Mirador pergola at Costco

Costco sells Mirador. On November 15, 2026, Costco.com listed a "Mirador Adjustable Louvered Aluminum Pergola 10' x 13'" (item 2127016) at $2,199.99, about $200 less than the 111S on Mirador's own store. Costco's listing describes aluminum louvers, while Mirador lists galvanized steel louvers for the 111S and double-layer aluminum for the 111DA. Before you order, ask Costco which version ships. See the Costco listing.

Warehouse stock and prices vary by region and season; an r/Costco thread from 2026 is titled "Warehouse has it for $1499" (thread), which we could not check in a warehouse ourselves. Costco's own return policy applies to Costco purchases, not Mirador's 30-day window.

Mirador pergola steel vs aluminum

Mirador's naming hides the materials, so here they are: the 80S is galvanized steel throughout; the 111S and 111S E-Motion have an aluminum frame with steel louvers; the 111DA is aluminum with double-layer aluminum louvers. Aluminum does not rust; galvanized steel is protected until the coating is scratched through. Our 111S vs 80S duel goes line by line.

Mirador louvered pergola wind rating and snow load

All with "professional assembly & anchoring", per Mirador's product pages: 80S 78.5 mph and 15.7 psf; 111S and 111S E-Motion 90.2 mph and 20.8 psf; 111DA 102 mph and 26.6 psf. Costco and Amazon listings of Mirador pergolas print 70 mph, which is lower than any figure on Mirador's own pages; we use Mirador's. The wind and snow guide compares every brand.

Mirador pergola accessories

Mirador sells sidewalls for each series: for the 111 series, fixed shutter walls covering a third of a 10-ft side and 10-ft pull-down screens; for the 80/88 series, the same 1/3 fixed shutter wall at $299 on November 15, 2026. Sliding glass doors and shutters are listed among the 111/140-series sidewalls. Check that an accessory matches your series before ordering.

Mirador pergola installation

Mirador says two people with basic tools take about four hours, with no rivets or welds, and ships expansion anchor bolts for a flat concrete surface. It publishes official step-by-step videos on its YouTube channel (one is in our 111S review). Owners tend to find it straightforward but long; plan a day. The ratings above assume professional assembly and anchoring.

Warranty, delivery and returns

Mirador's warranty page gives 3 years plus 1 with registration on the 111S, 4+1 on the 111DA, 2 years on the 80S spec block (plus 1 with registration per the warranty page), and the E-Motion spec block says 4 years. Free delivery in the contiguous US, scheduled by phone within two business days of the order; 30 days to return, refund or replace.
