What Is A Louver Pergola?

Pergolas have been around for centuries. First started in Europe, the main purpose of the pergola is to provide shade without the need for a solid roof, depending on its location on the sidewalk between the garden and the building. Today, providing shade is still the main purpose of a pergola, but with a twist.

Modern pergolas have louvers instead of static slats, leading some to refer to them as "louvered pergola." By creating a swivel for the louvers, the pergola can be used throughout the day, not just when the angle of the sun best coincides with the position of the fixed slats. While there are some manual louvered pergolas—usually those that use a turning lever to turn the louvers—today’s louvered pergolas often have a motor that automatically rotates the louvers at the touch of a button. It's this new level of technology and some clever design modifications that really differentiate the average pergola from the premium pergola.
