Hello World! Welcome Friends! Pergolas are a popular choice for backyards. There are many different styles and options to pick from. One option is a pergola with a louvered roof whose slats are able to be opened and closed by the user.
If you’re interested in a louvered pergola, read on to learn more about them.
Pro: They’re Versatile
One of the biggest drawbacks of a standard pergola is that the slats on its roof are fixed. Thus, rain, snow, wind, and debris are able to come in from the top of the structure.
The great thing about pergolas with a louvered roof, on the other hand, is that the slats on their roof are completely adjustable. Whether you want to let some light in, prefer more shade, wish to ventilate the area, or would like to block out precipitation, you bet that a louvered pergola will allow for that. Not to mention, this is the best pergola for high winds in windy areas.
Con: Some Designs Aren’t User-Friendly
There aren’t many things to complain about when it comes to louvered pergolas. However, if there is a complaint to be made, it’s that some styles of louvered pergolas aren’t as user-friendly. Some of them are more difficult to adjust than others while some may be noisy during adjustment.
The good news is, there are some louvered pergola options that are very user-friendly. For the easiest option, we’d suggest going for a motorized pergola.
Pro: They’re Perfect in All Weather Conditions
With adjustable slats on their roof, louvered-roofed pergolas are able to be enjoyed in all weather conditions. Yes, that means even in pouring rain, you can enjoy your outdoor space and stay dry under your pergola!
Apart from being usable no matter what the weather entails, louvered pergolas are also constructed with heavy-duty, water-, temperature-, and sun-resistant materials. This means your precious pergola won’t get damaged from bad weather.
Con: They’re Expensive
Pergolas in general aren’t cheap, but getting a pergola with a louvered roof is certainly going to cost more. Regular pergolas range from $1,900 to $12,000 on average. Getting one with a louvered roof will cost around $5,000 to $25,000. Of course, you’re paying extra in exchange for convenience and versatility, which many would say is well worth it.
If a louvered pergola is too pricey for you, keep in mind that there are different financing options available to you.
Pro: You’ll Have a Beautiful Cosmetic Addition to Your Space
When you’re looking to make your yard look more luxurious, valuable, and comfortable, a louvered pergola can surely get the job done. The beauty and shade that a pergola can provide can make a yard look quite welcoming. And imagine beautiful vines or flowers growing up your pergola! It screams, “Stay for a while.”
Due to the aesthetics and function of a pergola, the value of your property will increase, and your home will be easier to sell if and when that time comes. Most people wouldn’t say no to a pergola, especially one with a louvered roof!
Conclusion
A louvered pergola is just one of many styles of pergolas that homeowners dream of. While they can be pricey and sometimes not as user-friendly as one might like, the great thing about them is that they’re highly versatile, weather-proof, and offer great aesthetics for any outdoor space. Can’t get much better than that!
