Purple Leaf 94AS 10x16
$100 cheaper, 30 sq ft more shade
The same 94.3 in tall, all-aluminum 94AS frame as the 10 x 12, stretched to 10 x 16 ft. That extra 40 sq ft fits a grill or a lounge chair next to the table. Shade screens and an LED strip come as add-ons.
Best for: A long, narrow patio along the back of the house with room for a table and a grill
Purple Leaf 92KS 10x14 LED
$499 cheaper, 10 sq ft more shade
The 92KS line adds a dimmable LED strip that charges from a solar panel or USB, so you need no outdoor outlet. 10 x 14 ft on 4.53 in aluminum posts, two louver zones opening to 85 degrees. The listing does not say how the louvers turn, so we list the pole Purple Leaf uses on its other lines.
Best for: Evening dining on a patio with no power outlet nearby
Mirador Infinite 12x12
$700 more, 14 sq ft more shade
Mirador's Infinite starts as a 12 x 12 ft bay and grows: Mirador sells a 12 x 24 ft for $6,999 and a 24 x 24 ft L-shape for $9,999. Same 102 mph and 26.6 psf ratings and 4 plus 1 year warranty as the 111DA.
Best for: Buyers who want to start small and cover a bigger patio later
Purple Leaf 10x20 louvered pergola
about the same price, 70 sq ft more shade
200 sq ft of shade on an all-aluminum frame, louvers turned with a handle and opening to 85 degrees. This is one of the few listings in our comparison with a snow figure, 8.2 psf, and it comes with a 1-year frame warranty.
Best for: A long patio in a place with light winter snow
Purple Leaf 94AS 12x14
$370 cheaper, 38 sq ft more shade
12 x 14 ft gives 168 sq ft in a near-square shape that suits a sectional sofa or a round table. Same tall 94AS aluminum frame with drainage through the posts. The kit ships at 516 lb, so plan a second pair of hands.
Best for: A square deck or patio with a sectional or a round dining table
