Actual difference is about $8000. We mention later in the video. The unit we offer for $10,000 is the same quality as the unit that typically goes for $30,000 is the point.
@@theluxurypergola ah I see. The introduction threw me off because I thought you were comparing like size. Just went on your website though, looks to be a great product. Would have loved to get a 12 x 16 but they’re slightly out of my price range.
How many years have you guys been doing this? Seems like you have a pretty good product but not sure if it’s worth it to drop 10k on a direct to consumer online product that has very few real world reviews and videos. Your videos are actually kind of selling me on the Costco one because if doesn’t hold up, I can still buy 2 or 3 replacements over the years and still be under 10k
Great question. If you watch our “Who Are We?” video, we talk more about it. We’ve been selling our product for the last 3 years now, but direct to consumer is new in the last year. Prior to this last year the product was only sold custom on residential or commercial applications for restaurants and hotels. Best of luck with your decision. Give us a call if you have any questions though!
FWIW I had the Costco one. Was great until one freak storm, and now it is a pile of bent metal in my backyard. Props to this video for explaining the quality differences.
Appreciate this but I think you are missing the mark....don't think anyone is cross shopping $2k to almost $10k.....would love to see and think it makes more sense to compare contrast Bon Pergola, Hanso, struxure X would be a much better comparison as they are more in the same class.....those are some others I am cross shopping.....would love to see... Just my 2 cents thanks!
Hello! I'd recommend this video on our channel discussing pergolas and comparable quality pergolas. It might help you spot that two on your list are not quite the same quality as you'd be getting with ours or even one of the others you mentioned (with the exception that the other comparable quality system tells you to remove the louvers in high wind or snow: th-cam.com/video/KUcNeY8rEU4/w-d-xo.html
Great looking product. At that price point though - the shades (going forward) really need to be “plug and play” and an option to be motorized with no pre-drilling required by the customer; the motor on top should be hidden from view (from all angles); if you can’t figure out a fully motorized system, then the louvers and shades should be able to be manually opened / closed and raised / lowered from inside; and lastly maybe offer the entire electrified / motorized features as options. Good luck and best wishes.
Excellent Video thank you. Do you know any installers in Southern California or whom should I search for on yelp for someone who can assemble your pergola. Also do you have any sales coming up?
Hello! We are working with Mr. Handyman. If you have a franchisee in your area, they are familiar with the product. That would be the direction we would recommend.
Usually with heavy wind, there is rain. Our system is designed to be open or closed in rain and/or wind. That's why we engineered it with a 130 mph wind rating. If the winds are strong enough to exceed the 130 mph wind rating, typically your house is gone too.
It really depends on your application. Whatever pergola you choose will need proper mounting to ensure it doesn't blow away in the wind. Feel free to give us a call and we would be happy to discuss your installation and needs.
Unfortunately, the cost of these raw parts is significantly higher than $5k. The only way to shave cost is to shave weight, as we're charged per pound of aluminum. When we shave weight, we lose strength. If we did that, we might get to their price point, but we'd be selling something we don't want to stand behind as a company. We are trying to find ways to get it as strong with less weight, but so far, that hasn't been feasible. I agree a lower price point would make everyone happy, but only if we can make it as strong. Thanks for watching!
Can you mount infrared heaters at the top interior to keep people warm on a cold night? If so, is it possible to hide the wiring in the posts or something?
I've been wanting one of these for some time now but the price point is just too high. The manual one is closer to my budget so I'll see. The luxury one looks better bc of its size and height but for the price I just can't see myself spending that amount.
We recommend Mr. Handyman. We have a partnership with them and most franchisees are participating in the program to help with installation. www.mrhandyman.com
I would say they main difference is about $28,000

Excellent video showing the differences between the two pergolas. Been waiting for this side by side comparison. Thanks.
Thank you! I am glad it was helpful for you. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions.

Is there a non-motorized option?

Hello, if you give us a call we would be happy to discuss your project with you! We may have some helpful tips for you. 317-597-2545
Do you have any installers near Naperville, IL that have installed your pergola?
Does your company have a list of certified installers in the Minnesota Metro?
Hello! We are working with Mr. Handyman. If you have a franchisee in your area, they are familiar with the product. That would be the direction we would recommend.
Do the louvers open up during a wind storm?
Usually with heavy wind, there is rain. Our system is designed to be open or closed in rain and/or wind. That's why we engineered it with a 130 mph wind rating. If the winds are strong enough to exceed the 130 mph wind rating, typically your house is gone too.
Required concrete foundation size for those wind loads, per pergola size?
It varies by location and size. Please reach out to us and we can discuss!
Do these need a special footing?
It really depends on your application. Whatever pergola you choose will need proper mounting to ensure it doesn't blow away in the wind.
Feel free to give us a call and we would be happy to discuss your installation and needs.
Maybe you guys should try making $5k version and that would really take a bite in to the mirador customer base.

Our system could definitely handle that. We just don't sell the heaters ourselves. You're spot on with how to wire it as well.
@@theluxurypergola Great. Thank you.

Understood! Let us know if you do want to talk though! We'd be glad to help.
I will be purchasing a luxury pergola if it came with a link to a pro installation. I don’t mind to pay for it.

I guess due to its heaviness this can't be installed directly on a trex deck
The weight wouldn’t be the issue. It’s more of a concern of wind load, but it all depends on your local building codes
$28,000
A pergola of comparable quality is $28,000. Ours is much less than that.
I was just answering your question. "What's the difference between a 30k and a 2k Pergola" ;-) @@theluxurypergola
