Verdict: PERGOLUX Pergola 4 Pro for the motor and the higher ratings, if it is in your budget. Hansø Aluminum Pergola Kit if a crank suits you and you can wait for a made-to-order delivery.
Price at 10×13
$6,495 for the Pergola 4 Pro and $4,931.55 for the Hansø kit on November 15, 2026, both well below the "regular" prices the stores display.
Ratings
PERGOLUX: up to 165 mph and 65 psf depending on configuration. Hansø: 120 mph and 25 psf for this kit (its motorized Horizon model claims more, at a higher price).
Control
Motor with app and voice on the PERGOLUX; hand crank on the Hansø, which Hansø sells as a feature: nothing electric to fail.
Delivery
Both are open for order. Hansø says it ships made to order in 10–14 weeks. Owners on Reddit and the BBB have reported waits past the quoted window with both brands in past seasons; ask for a written ship date.

Who should pick which
- PERGOLUX Pergola 4 Pro: 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.
- Hansø Aluminum Pergola: Buyers who plan ahead and want aluminum without a motor. The catch: Made to order: the store quotes 10–14 weeks, and Black Friday orders are announced for late May 2027.

Questions buyers ask
Which is better, Pergolux or Hanso?
On our score the PERGOLUX Pergola 4 Pro ranks first and the Hansø kit second. The gap comes from the published wind and snow ratings and the motor; warranty and trial are equal.
Do both offer a wall-mounted version?
Yes, and at the same price as the freestanding version for both brands.
Is Hanso still in business?
Yes: its store was taking orders on November 15, 2026, with made-to-order shipping quoted at 10–14 weeks. A BBB complaint filed on September 18, 2026 describes a delivery that ran past that window, so get a ship date in writing.
