Frequently Asked Questions
JY160 Pergola FAQ
Is JY160 a motorized pergola?
No. JY160 uses manual louver adjustment. Buyers who need motorized control should compare JY180, JY220 or other powered models.
What is the maximum size of one JY160 module?
The current catalogue reference maximum is 3.0 × 4.0 m per single module. Final project suitability depends on installation conditions and project requirements.
When should I choose JY160 instead of JY180?
Choose JY160 when manual operation, compact project size and simpler configuration are priorities. JY180 is better suited when motorized control and more accessory flexibility are required.
JY160 Module Planning
Compact Manual Pergola for Smaller Bays and Modular Layouts
JY160 is designed around a compact manual structure. Its single-module reference is up to 4.0 m on the longer side and 3.0 m on the shorter side. Larger total areas are possible when the project is divided into smaller connected modules.
01
Start with the required open bay
Do not judge the pergola only by the total project size. First decide whether the customer needs one large open bay or accepts intermediate shared posts between modules.
02
Check every individual module
For each rectangular module, compare its longer dimension with the model's maximum long-side reference and its shorter dimension with the maximum short-side reference.
03
Upgrade only when the required bay still exceeds the limit
If a larger project can be divided into compliant modules, the existing structural series can still be used. Move to a heavier series when fewer intermediate posts are required or when the individual bay itself remains too large.
| Series | Max Long Side* | Max Short Side* | Large Projects | Positioning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JY160 | 4.0 m | 3.0 m | Multi-module available | Manual / compact residential |
*Single-module catalogue selection reference. The total pergola can be larger through connected modules. Final structural suitability still depends on site conditions, foundation, exposure, installation method and local requirements.
Too large as one JY160 bay
A 5 × 3.5 m single bay exceeds both the 4.0 m long-side and 3.0 m short-side references.
Single module: No
2 × (2.5 × 3.5 m)
Split into two modules. Each individual module is evaluated as 3.5 × 2.5 m, which fits within the JY160 reference.
JY160 multi-module: Possible
Project Decision
Is compact manual operation still the priority?
Use more JY160 modules
For larger total areas, additional posts and connected modules can keep the project within the compact manual structural platform.
Move to a larger series
If the project requires larger open bays, fewer posts or motorized operation, review JY180 or a heavier motorized series.
Key point
JY160 is not limited to a total 4 × 3 m project; 4 × 3 m is the single-module reference. Larger projects require module division.
Need the JY160 for a courtyard or terrace project?
Send width, length, height, quantity and installation conditions for a model-specific discussion, compare the full aluminum pergola overview, or review the motorized louvered pergola roof system if powered control is required.
