Domi 12x16 aluminum: common questions
Is the Domi 12x16 aluminum any good?
With 6.0 out of 10, the Domi 12x16 aluminum ranks 31 of 38 in our comparison. Strengths: Widest louver range in our comparison, All aluminum, no rust. Weakness: The listing does not say how the louvers turn. Best for: A patio that gets low sun from one side in the morning or evening.
How big is the Domi 12x16 aluminum?
It measures 12 x 16 ft, which gives you 192 sq ft of shade.
Does the Domi 12x16 aluminum 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 Domi 12x16 aluminum 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 Domi 12x16 aluminum?
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 Domi 12x16 aluminum cost?
The last price we saw was $2,599, about $13.54 per square foot. Prices move often and most louvered pergolas ship free, but check the delivery terms on a box this heavy.
