PRODUCTION PLANNING

Motorized pergola production lead time explained

The factory window begins after the design inputs, drawings and order details are confirmed.

Motorized louvered pergola project during installation
Quick answer

JY Home Shade's typical production lead time is approximately 20–25 days after project drawings and order details are confirmed. This is a production reference, not door-to-door delivery time. Drawing revisions, custom finishes, complex accessories, large quantities, peak workload and shipping arrangements can change the schedule.

When the production clock starts

A deposit alone does not make an incomplete project production-ready. The model, module plan, dimensions, post layout, finish, electrical specification, accessories, quantity and packing marks should be confirmed first. The agreed start date should be written into the order record.

2. Material preparationAllocate aluminum, motors, hardware and accessoriesConfirm finish and electrical requirements
3. FabricationCut, machine and prepare structural componentsAvoid late dimensional changes
4. Finish and assemblyComplete specified finish and component assemblyConfirm approved colour reference
5. InspectionCheck quantity, finish, fit, motor operation and order detailsReview requested inspection evidence
6. PackingProtect, label and list components for exportApprove shipping marks and consignee data

What commonly changes the schedule

  • Repeated drawing changes after material or machining preparation.
  • Special powder-coat colours or accessories outside the confirmed standard scope.
  • Complex connected modules with different roof or louver directions.
  • Large repeat orders that require phased production and container planning.
  • Missing voltage, destination, shipping-mark or consignee information.
  • Factory workload around public holidays or peak export periods.

What 20–25 days does not include

The reference does not automatically include quotation discussion, site measurement, drawing revisions before confirmation, international freight, customs clearance or final delivery. Ask for separate milestones: technical confirmation, production, ready-to-ship date, vessel booking, departure and estimated arrival.

How buyers can reduce delay risk

  1. Send one complete RFQ with a marked layout.
  2. Nominate one person to approve drawings and finishes.
  3. Freeze dimensions before fabrication begins.
  4. Confirm voltage, controls and accessory interfaces early.
  5. Provide shipping marks and destination details before packing.
  6. Build contingency around installation dates instead of scheduling crews against an unconfirmed arrival.
