USER QUESTION

Which pergola model should I choose?

Choose the model by project size, roof behavior, profile requirement, application and accessory plan.

JY280 pergola profile dimensions for model selection
Quick answer

For mainstream residential motorized louver projects, start with JY180. For heavier project layouts, compare JY220. For retractable folding roof needs, review JY280, with maximum single module support to 4 m x 6 m. For premium large-span requirements, compare JY250. Final selection depends on dimensions, site exposure, accessories and local review.

How to choose with less confusion

First decide the roof behavior. If you want rotating louvers for adjustable shade and airflow, compare JY180, JY220 and JY250. If you want a folding roof that retracts toward one side or both sides, review JY280. Then check the required module size, post layout, wind or snow inputs, drainage route and accessories.

Do not choose by model name alone. A smaller but complicated rooftop project can need more review than a simple larger freestanding patio.

Example model starting points

  • Dealer sample: choose a model that represents your target customers and shipping budget.
  • Premium resort or commercial venue: compare JY220 and JY250 with project drawings.

Information needed for a correct recommendation
