StruXure vs. Hanso: Choosing the Right Pergola for Your Outdoor Oasis

 

Are you considering adding a pergola to your home? You’re trying to compare the benefits of a custom pergola from StruXure vs. those kits you’ve seen online from companies like Hanso and Pergolux. Let’s break down the differences so you can make a decision that’s best for you and your home. 

In recent years, the trend of outdoor living spaces has surged, with homeowners seeking to create personalized retreats right in their backyard. A key element of these outdoor havens is the pergola, providing shade, style, and functionality. However, not all pergolas are created equal. In this article, we’ll delve into the differences between two popular options: the StruXure pergola and the Hanso pergola, to help you make an informed choice for your outdoor oasis.

1. Quality Construction: When it comes to quality, the StruXure pergola stands head and shoulders above the competition. Crafted from premium materials and engineered for durability, StruXure pergolas are built to withstand the test of time and are constructed with aircraft-grade extruded aluminum. This results in a pergola that is wind-rated at category 5 hurricane wind speeds. The StruXure pergola is also rated for a snow load of 50 pounds per square foot, making it the most durable and heavy-duty pergola available today. In contrast, the Hanso pergola may compromise on construction quality, and utilize cheaper, thinner aluminum, leading to potential issues down the line.

2. Water Management: One of the standout features of the StruXure pergola is its patented integrated water management system. Designed to channel rainwater away from the structure, StruXure pergolas prevent water damage and flooding, ensuring your outdoor space remains dry and comfortable even during heavy downpours. Every component in the StruXure pergola was designed to manage the flow of water. Louvers close and seal up top and route water to a perimeter gutter. Water is then carried to hidden downspouts in the columns. On the other hand, the Hanso pergola may lack such sophisticated water management features, leaving you vulnerable to water-related issues.

3. Customization Options: No two outdoor spaces are alike, which is why customization is key when choosing a pergola. With StruXure pergolas, the possibilities are endless. From size and shape to color and accessories, you have full control over every aspect of your pergola design, ensuring it seamlessly integrates with your outdoor aesthetic. In contrast, the Hanso pergola offers limited customization options and basic standard sizes, leaving you feeling constrained in your design choices.

4. Motorization and Smart Features: Elevate your outdoor experience with the motorized features and smart technology of StruXure pergolas. With adjustable louvers, integrated lighting, and heating options, and the ability to add motorized screens, you can effortlessly create the perfect ambiance for any occasion, all at the touch of a button. Unfortunately, such advanced features may be absent in basic pergola kits like the Hanso, leaving you without the convenience and luxury you desire.

5. Service and Support: At Skyview Detroit, we understand the importance of exceptional service and support. That’s why we’re committed to providing our customers with professional installation, ongoing maintenance, and unparalleled customer service every step of the way. When you choose a StruXure pergola, you can rest assured knowing that we’ll be there to support you for years to come. Unfortunately, the same level of service may not be guaranteed with manufacturers of cheaper pergola kits like the Hanso, leaving you feeling stranded in the event of any issues.

When it comes to choosing the right pergola for your outdoor oasis, the choice is clear: StruXure reigns supreme. With its superior quality construction, innovative water management system, extensive customization options, motorized features, and unrivaled service and support, StruXure louvered pergolas offer unmatched value and peace of mind.
