Aoxun 16x12 aluminum with power outlet: common questions
Is the Aoxun 16x12 aluminum with power outlet any good?
With 7.0 out of 10, the Aoxun 16x12 aluminum with power outlet ranks 13 of 38 in our comparison. Strengths: Built-in power outlet, 82.5 mph wind rating. Weakness: You still have to run power to the pergola. Best for: A windy yard where you want a fan or lights under the roof.
How big is the Aoxun 16x12 aluminum with power outlet?
It measures 12 x 16 ft, which gives you 192 sq ft of shade.
Does the Aoxun 16x12 aluminum with power outlet 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 Aoxun 16x12 aluminum with power outlet handle wind and snow?
The maker rates it for 82.5 mph winds when anchored. We found no snow rating, so open the louvers or clear heavy snow by hand.
What warranty comes with the Aoxun 16x12 aluminum with power outlet?
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 Aoxun 16x12 aluminum with power outlet cost?
The last price we saw was $1,900, about $9.90 per square foot. Prices move often and most louvered pergolas ship free, but check the delivery terms on a box this heavy.
