What’s the difference between fixed and operable pergolas?
Fixed pergolas offer consistent partial shade through open lattice beams. Operable pergolas have adjustable louvers that open or close with a button press—letting you control sunlight and rain protection as needed.

How long will a TEMO Pergola last?
With extruded aluminum construction and a fade-resistant finish, a TEMO pergola will last decades without warping, cracking, or rusting—unlike wood or vinyl alternatives.
Do pergolas provide full shade or partial shade?
Pergolas provide partial shade while maintaining airflow and an open feel. Operable versions can close fully for near-complete coverage.
Are TEMO pergolas wind- and storm-resistant?
Yes. All TEMO pergolas are built with extruded aluminum and engineered to meet or exceed local building codes, including wind resistance suitable for harsh climates like Northern Snow Load and Southern Hurricane Wind conditions.
Can I add a pergola to a deck or paver patio?
Absolutely. TEMO pergolas can be installed over most surfaces, including wood decks, concrete pads, or pavers. Our installation team will ensure it’s properly anchored and structurally sound.
What maintenance is required for a TEMO pergola?
Very little. TEMO’s finishes are resistant to chipping, fading, and peeling. Occasional cleaning with mild soap and water is typically all that’s needed.
Is financing available for pergola projects?
Yes. Many of our dealers and partners offer financing options to help you complete your outdoor project with flexible monthly payments.
Can I install a pergola in winter or cold climates?
Yes. TEMO pergolas are designed for all climates and can be installed year-round, weather permitting.
