Purple Leaf 94AS 12x14
$270 cheaper
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
Purple Leaf 12x16 white
$120 cheaper, 32 sq ft more shade, higher score
A 12 x 16 ft all-aluminum Purple Leaf in white on 4.33 in posts, with two louver zones opening to 90 degrees. It carries a 4.8 average on Amazon, the highest in our comparison. The listing does not say how the louvers turn, so we list Purple Leaf's usual pole.
Best for: A sunny patio next to a white or light-colored house
Mirador 111DA 10x13
$100 more, 30 sq ft less shade, rated for 102 mph
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
Purple Leaf 10x20 louvered pergola
$100 more, 40 sq ft more shade, 1-year warranty
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
Domi 12x16 aluminum
$300 cheaper, 32 sq ft more shade
Domi's all-aluminum 12 x 16 ft has louvers that open to 130 degrees, the widest range in our list. That lets you angle them against low morning or evening sun instead of just open or shut. It weighs 440 lb.
Best for: A patio that gets low sun from one side in the morning or evening
