A good China aluminum pergola factory should be able to explain model differences, confirm drawings before production, provide applicable CE documents, state MOQ and lead time clearly, and support export packing for the target market. For JY Home Shade, buyers can start from 1 set, typical production is 20-25 days after details are confirmed, and monthly capacity is about 100-200 sets.
Questions to ask before choosing a pergola factory
| Question | Why it matters | What to request |
|---|---|---|
| Which model fits this size and application? | Different pergola profiles suit different spans, budgets and roof types. | Model recommendation with maximum single-module reference. |
| Can drawings be confirmed before production? | Drawings reduce errors in dimensions, post positions, accessories and drainage. | Plan, elevation and accessory schedule where applicable. |
| What is the production lead time? | Lead time affects project planning and shipping dates. | A written timing range after approved details. |
| Are CE documents available? | Document review helps buyers and dealers prepare due diligence. | Applicable CE documentation for the reviewed product scope. |
| How is export packing handled? | Long aluminum profiles and accessories need protection and labeling. | Packaging photos, packing list and carton or crate references. |
Capacity and order size
Capacity matters because pergola orders often combine long aluminum profiles, roof blades, motors, lighting, screens, glass or other accessories. A factory should explain whether the order is one sample set, a villa project, a dealer trial order or a larger commercial batch.
JY Home Shade operates with about 48 employees, about 3,000 square metres of production area and an approximate monthly capacity of 100-200 pergola sets depending on configuration. Sample orders can start from 1 set, which is useful for dealers testing product quality before repeat orders.
Documents, drawings and proof
Ask for model pages, profile references, drawings, installation media, CE document availability and photos of packing or completed projects. Avoid comparing only catalog pictures because the critical details are hidden in dimensions, connections, drainage and accessory integration.
If a supplier cannot explain the difference between a rotating louver roof, a retractable folding roof and a large-span heavy-duty system, the quotation may not be specific enough for your project.
Export markets and buyer support
Export buyers should confirm the target country early. Packaging, voltage, documentation requests, accessory preferences and installation responsibilities may differ between Europe, North America, Australia, the Middle East and Russia. A useful factory reply should ask about site size, climate, installation type and desired accessories before recommending the final model.
