Domi 13x13 steel, gray
$325 cheaper, 31 sq ft less shade
A square 169 sq ft Domi in gray steel with two crank-operated zones. One bullet on the listing still says 10 x 12, but the title and size field say 13 x 13, and we went with those. Check the size on the box when it arrives.
Best for: A square patio or deck on a steel budget
Aoxun 12x16 aluminum with curtains
about the same price, all aluminum, rated for 82.5 mph
All aluminum, 12 x 16 ft, on 3.8 in posts, with curtains and netting in the box. Its 82.5 mph wind rating is the highest among the Amazon models we compared. The louvers move with a rope, not a crank.
Best for: An open, windy yard where you still want curtains
Mellcom 10x20 with curtains
$50 more, aluminum frame, steel louvers, rated for 50 mph
Mellcom's 10 x 20 ft has an aluminum frame, steel louvers in four crank-operated zones, and curtains in the box. The listing gives the wind rating as a range, 50 to 80 mph. We score 50, the bottom of that range.
Best for: A long patio where you want curtains and zones for little money
Mirador 80S 10x12
$101 cheaper, 80 sq ft less shade
The same steel 80S frame in 10 x 12 ft, 94.8 in tall and 485 lb. Like the 10 x 10 it has no drainage and a sling for the louvers, and it costs much more per square foot.
Best for: A Mirador fan on a budget who does not need drainage
Domi 14x20 steel, gray
$360 more, 80 sq ft more shade
14 x 20 ft and 280 sq ft of shade in gray steel, with a hand crank and drainage. That covers a dining table, a lounge set and the grill at once, for less per square foot than almost any aluminum kit.
Best for: A big backyard patio or pool deck on a budget, in a sheltered spot
