It measures 10 x 20 ft, which gives you 200 sq ft of shade.
Does the Purple Leaf 10x20 louvered pergola 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.

The maker rates it for 70 mph winds when anchored. The snow rating is 8.2 pounds per square foot.
What warranty comes with the Purple Leaf 10x20 louvered pergola?
1 year from the maker. Warranties often cover the frame but not the paint or the moving parts, so read the terms.
How much does the Purple Leaf 10x20 louvered pergola cost?
The last price we saw was $2,999, about $14.99 per square foot. Prices move often and most louvered pergolas ship free, but check the delivery terms on a box this heavy.
