Mirador 111DA 13x13
$200 more, 25 sq ft more shade
The 111DA in a square 13 x 13 ft, with the 102 mph and 26.6 psf ratings, double-layer aluminum louvers and a hand crank. Sold by Mirador direct with a 4 plus 1 year warranty.
Best for: A square deck in a snowy or windy region
Purple Leaf 94AS 12x16 with shade screens
$70 cheaper, 48 sq ft more shade
This bundle pairs the tall 94AS aluminum frame in 12 x 16 ft with side shade screens. The screens block low evening sun and give some privacy from the neighbors. The whole set ships at 645 lb.
Best for: A west-facing patio that takes the evening sun and needs privacy on the sides
Purple Leaf 92KS 13x15 LED
$130 more, 51 sq ft more shade
The largest 92KS: 13 x 15 ft and 195 sq ft of shade, with the same solar or USB LED strip and 4.53 in aluminum posts. Big enough for a dining set and a lounge corner under one roof.
Best for: A large patio used after dark, with no outlet close to where the pergola stands
Mirador 111DA 10x13
$700 cheaper, 14 sq ft less shade
The same 102 mph, 26.6 psf, double-layer aluminum 111DA as the 10 x 10, in 10 x 13 ft. The extra 30 sq ft brings the price per square foot down a little.
Best for: A dining patio in a stormy or snowy region
Mirador 111S Round 10x20
$300 cheaper, 56 sq ft more shade, aluminum frame, steel louvers
An aluminum frame with round pillars, galvanized steel louvers and Mirador's patented drainage through the pillars, 10 x 20 ft. The round posts look softer than the usual square ones. It has a 70 mph wind rating.
Best for: A long patio where the look of the posts matters
