Overview

The Hansø MASTER+ Pergola is designed to last for decades with minimal maintenance.
Every component is engineered for outdoor resilience — from the precision-extruded aluminum frame to corrosion-resistant fittings and UV-protected coatings.
This ensures consistent performance and a sleek modern appearance in any climate.


Frame and Structure

  • Made of T6 architectural-grade aluminum, chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion.

  • Extruded sections are precision-cut and powder-coated for an elegant, long-lasting finish.

  • The frame’s internal channel system conceals fasteners and wiring for a seamless appearance.

  • Reinforced posts and beams enhance rigidity, allowing the structure to handle wind speeds up to 165 mph and snow loads up to 62 psf.

📌 Unlike steel or wood, aluminum won’t rust, warp, or crack — making it ideal for all-weather installations.


Surface Finish

  • Coated with a premium polyester powder paint, cured for enhanced adhesion and UV resistance.

  • The finish prevents fading and chalking, even under prolonged sunlight exposure.

  • Available in two standard Hansø finishes:

    • Pure White (RAL 9010) – a clean, contemporary matte finish.

    • Dark Grey (RAL 7016) – a sleek, architectural tone for modern exteriors.

🎨 Custom touch-up paints in matching RAL codes are available for small surface repairs.


Louvers

  • Constructed from the same T6-grade aluminum with interlocking weather seals.

  • Designed to rotate 0°–100° for precise shade and ventilation control.

  • Each louver is hollow for weight optimization and features integrated water channels to direct rainfall into the gutters.

  • The louver system connects directly to a sealed tubular motor hidden within the gutter beam.


Hardware and Fittings

  • All bolts, screws, and brackets are stainless steel (grade 304 or higher).

  • Rubberized gaskets and polymer seals ensure watertight connections at beam joints.

  • Built-in rubber edging between louvers improves weather sealing and sound dampening.

💡 This combination of materials prevents corrosion and eliminates squeaking or rattle during windy conditions.


Drainage System

  • Fully integrated gutter network routes water from the louvers to the internal post downspouts.

  • Posts contain hidden channels that drain rainwater safely to ground level.

  • The system operates automatically whenever louvers are closed during rainfall.

Maintenance Tips

  • Clean aluminum surfaces with mild soap and water.

  • Avoid abrasive or acidic cleaners to preserve the powder coat.

  • Check drainage openings quarterly for debris.

  • Apply touch-up paint to scratches as needed (RAL 9010 / 7016).
