Domi 10x12 aluminum with curtains
about the same price, all aluminum, rated for 72 mph
A 10 x 12 ft all-aluminum Domi with curtains and mosquito netting included, two crank zones and a 72 mph wind rating. It stands 7.2 ft tall, lower than Purple Leaf's 94AS.
Best for: Buggy evenings: a patio where you want netting without buying it separately
Domi 13x13 steel, gray
$224 cheaper, 49 sq ft more shade, 5-year warranty
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
Domi 10x20 steel, brown
$101 more, 80 sq ft more shade, 5-year warranty
The Domi steel frame stretched to 10 x 20 ft, in brown, with three louver zones you crank on their own. You can keep the end over the grill open and the table end closed. It weighs 445 lb.
Best for: A long patio that mixes a grill zone and a dining zone
Purple Leaf 10x12 bronze
$176 cheaper, all aluminum, rated for 70 mph
Purple Leaf's entry model: 10 x 12 ft, all aluminum on a 4.5 in frame, handle-operated louvers and a bronze finish. It gets the brand's buyer reviews at a price close to the steel kits.
Best for: A first louvered pergola on a sheltered patio in a mild climate
Domi 10x12 steel, white
$659 cheaper, 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
