AirWire 10x12: common questions
Is the AirWire 10x12 any good?
With 6.7 out of 10, the AirWire 10x12 ranks 18 of 38 in our comparison. Strengths: Crank and curtains under $1,000, Aluminum frame. Weakness: Steel louvers can rust where scratched. Best for: A budget 10 x 12 with a crank instead of a sling.
How big is the AirWire 10x12?
It measures 10 x 12 ft, which gives you 120 sq ft of shade.
Does the AirWire 10x12 need to be anchored?
Yes. A louvered roof catches wind like a sail when the louvers are closed. Bolt the posts to a concrete patio or footings with the anchors the maker supplies. Wind ratings assume it is anchored that way.
Can the AirWire 10x12 handle wind and snow?
The maker publishes no wind rating for this model. We found no snow rating, so open the louvers or clear heavy snow by hand.
What warranty comes with the AirWire 10x12?
We found no written warranty on the listing or the maker's site. Amazon's return window still applies, so check the parts as soon as the boxes arrive.
How much does the AirWire 10x12 cost?
The last price we saw was $950, about $7.92 per square foot. Prices move often and most louvered pergolas ship free, but check the delivery terms on a box this heavy.
