Is the Pergolux 4 Pro worth it?
Our verdict: Our No. 1 on the published numbers: up to 165 mph and 65 psf, a motor in the box and a 10-year warranty. It costs it: $6,495 for 10×13 on November 15, 2026, about $50 per square foot. The catch: anchor bolts are not included, and some owners have waited far longer than promised.
The strongest published ratings in this comparison, a motor in the box and a 10-year warranty. You pay for it: about $50 per square foot. It scores 9.5/10 on our published formula, No. 1 of 15 kits. Best for: snow country and buyers who want a motor.
The catch: The price, and anchor bolts are not included. Delivery times in owner threads range from nine days to months.
Who should buy the Pergolux 4 Pro, and who should not
Buy it if
- You get real winters or real wind and want the highest published ratings
- You want a motor, lights and app control from one brand
- You want to try it: the store advertises a 100-day trial
Skip it if
- Your budget for the kit is under $5,000 (the 10×10 is $4,794)
- You need it installed by a fixed date
- You have no outdoor outlet within reach (it needs 120 V)
Not the right fit? The Hansø Aluminum Pergola is the alternative we would look at first: 120 mph, 25 psf and 10 years with a crank, $4,931.55 at 10×13.

Where to buy it
- PERGOLUX store: $6,495 for 10 × 13 ft (the store showed a $9,990 list price; we use the price you pay).
Home Depot, Lowe's, Wayfair and Amazon also list many of these brands; their prices and sellers change often, so we only quote stores we checked on the day. Our louvered pergola cost guide adds the pad, anchors and installation.
Sizes and clearance height
The Pergolux 4 Pro comes in 7 sizes: 10×10, 10×13, 10×16, 13×13, 10×19, 13×16, 13×19 ft. Pergolux lists Pass-through height 92 33/64 in; 102 37/64 in with louvers open. That is about 7 ft 9 in of height, so check doors, windows and gutters nearby before you order.
Frame and louvers: aluminum or steel?
The frame is 6063-T5 aluminum with a double-layer powder coat, 4 23/32 inch posts, beams of 6 7/8 × 4 1/4 inches and a 3/32 inch metal thickness, all printed in the PERGOLUX spec table. The louvers are double-wall aluminum, 6 9/16 inches wide. Clearance under the beams is 92 33/64 inches, 102 37/64 inches to the top with the louvers open. PERGOLUX lists a TUV engineering certification in its spec table.
It is sold freestanding or wall-mounted at the same price, in seven sizes from 10×10 to 13×19, and PERGOLUX offers custom sizes and heights on request. The weight runs from 392 to 998 lb depending on the size.
Crank, wand or motor?
The roof is motorized: remote (up to 130 ft range), app over Bluetooth and Matter, and voice through Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home or SmartThings. The headline says the panels tilt 130°; the spec table says 0–120°. Dimmable LED strips run along the beams (600 lumens, warm white or RGB). PERGOLUX gives an operating range of −4°F to 104°F for the system. One r/landscaping owner of a Sundream liked the pergola but disliked the app (thread, 2025); the remote works without it.
Does the Pergolux 4 Pro keep the rain out?
PERGOLUX is one of the few brands that writes "water-tight when closed", with a RainLUX gutter and drip guard. That is a claim about the louvers, not about the open sides. Our guide on whether louvered pergolas are waterproof covers what still gets through.
Wind rating and snow load
Note the wording: "up to" 165 mph and 65 psf, "depending on configuration". PERGOLUX itself says some specifications vary by configuration and suggests a chat with its team to confirm before purchase. Ask for the rating of your exact size and mounting in writing. The warranty excludes damage from exceeding the wind or snow limits.
We never call a pergola "wind-proof": these are the brand's figures, under the brand's conditions. Our wind rating and snow load guide puts every kit side by side.
How hard is the Pergolux 4 Pro to install?
PERGOLUX quotes 3 to 7 hours with two people, a ladder, a level, a drill and an Allen key. Anchor bolts are not included, so buy the right anchors for your surface. You need a standard 120 V outdoor outlet for the motor. An April 2026 owner on r/gardening says his 10×13 Sundream took about 10 to 12 hours over a weekend with four people and that the cable routing inside the beam was harder than the video suggests (thread). PERGOLUX also lists a $495 assembly option.

Step-by-step advice for any kit is in our louvered pergola installation guide.
Options: screens, walls, lights
Two SnapFIT channels per gutter take motorized screens, slat walls, fixed or sliding glass walls, heaters and fans without drilling. That is the most complete accessory system in our list.
Warranty, returns and delivery
10-year PERGOLUX warranty, and a 100-day risk-free trial advertised on the product page. All sizes and colors were open for order on November 15, 2026.
What owners say
Owner experience is split, and the split is about delivery and support, not the frame. A 2023 r/homeowners post titled "PERGOLUX Pergola Terrible Experience" describes a kit promised in two weeks, still missing after five, then quoted at three months (thread). A June 2025 buyer on r/landscaping ordered a 10×13 Sundream S2 on June 1 and had 11 boxes delivered on June 9 (thread). Ask for a written ship date before you pay.
