Domi 10x12 steel, white
$340 more, 5-year warranty, higher score
Domi builds this one from galvanized, powder-coated steel on 3.94 in columns, with a hand crank, two louver zones and drainage. The 5-year warranty is longer than most Amazon kits give. Domi calls it high-wind resistant but gives no mph figure.
Best for: A budget buyer in a dry climate who wants a crank and a real warranty
Mirador 80S 10x10
$299 more, 20 sq ft less shade
Mirador's 80S is alloy steel with galvanized steel louvers moved by a sling, 10 x 10 ft and a tall 98.4 in. It has no drainage system, so rain drips off the edges.
Best for: A small sheltered patio where you want height
Yoleny 10x12 aluminum, white
$150 more, all aluminum, higher score
Yoleny's 10 x 12 ft is all aluminum in white, with a crank and curtains, for about $850. It weighs 260 lb. The listing gives the wind rating as 60 to 80 mph, and we score 60, the bottom of that range.
Best for: A small sunny patio on a tight budget
Erommy 10x12 with curtains
$150 more, aluminum frame, steel louvers, higher score
Erommy pairs an aluminum frame with alloy steel louvers, a lever for tilting them, and curtains plus mosquito netting in the box. At 255 lb it is one of the lighter kits to put up.
Best for: A budget patio where curtains and bug netting matter most
AirWire 10x12
$250 more, aluminum frame, steel louvers, higher score
AirWire's 10 x 12 ft has an aluminum frame and steel louvers, a hand crank and curtains. It weighs 370 lb and costs under $1,000.
Best for: A budget 10 x 12 with a crank instead of a sling
