Overview
The Hansø MASTER+ Pergola is built for high-performance weather resistance — designed and certified to endure extreme conditions while maintaining strength, stability, and functionality.
When fully closed, the louvers interlock to form a watertight and wind-resistant roof, while the reinforced aluminum frame ensures structural rigidity even during strong winds or heavy snow.
Wind Resistance
Certified to resist winds up to 165 mph when louvers are fully closed.
This rating places the MASTER+ among the most durable residential pergolas available, capable of withstanding early-stage hurricane-level gusts.
The aerodynamic design ensures that when the louvers are open, airflow passes through easily, keeping the structure stable and unaffected by strong breezes.
💡 Tip: Always close louvers before storms or high winds to maximize resistance and prevent uplift.
Snow Load Capacity
The structure supports up to 62 psf (≈ 300 kg/m²) of distributed snow load.
The reinforced aluminum louvers are engineered to handle over 3 feet of fresh snow without deformation.
For heavy snow accumulation, open the louvers slightly to allow melting snow to fall through and prevent pooling.
📌 Tip: The pergola’s drainage system will automatically channel meltwater through the internal gutter system and down the posts.
Tested and Certified Performance
Consistent wind and snow performance across all Single Bay models.
Long-term safety and stability under continuous outdoor exposure.
Full compliance with U.S. residential installation requirements when properly anchored.
Maintenance Tips for Maximum Performance
Keep all louvers free from snow and debris buildup.
Check post anchors annually for secure fit.
Clean drainage channels every few months to prevent blockages.
During hurricane-level storms, close louvers completely and secure nearby loose items.
