Overview
The Hansø MASTER+ Pergola is designed with modular components for simplified assembly — but due to its motorized system, integrated drainage, and precision alignment requirements, Hansø recommends professional installation for best results.
A proper foundation and accurate post leveling are critical to ensure smooth louver movement, water drainage, and long-term stability.
Installation Options

Foundation & Anchoring Requirements
Must be installed on a flat, level, and reinforced surface such as concrete or a structural deck.
Each post should be secured with four heavy-duty anchors (provided in the hardware kit).
Avoid installing on pavers or soil — these surfaces do not provide sufficient stability.
Ensure the surface slope (if any) is less than 5mm across 3 meters to maintain proper drainage flow.
📌 Incorrect leveling may lead to water pooling or motor misalignment.
Tools You’ll Need
Power drill with metal and masonry bits
Level and measuring tape
Impact driver or ratchet wrench
Anchor bolts (included)
Ladder or step platform
Silicone sealant (for corner joints)
🧰 Optional: Laser level or string line to ensure perfect beam alignment.
⚠️ Electrical work should be performed by a licensed electrician if you’re not familiar with wiring 110V outdoor systems.
Power & Transformer Setup
The transformer and motor wiring are located in Post A1.
Simply plug the pergola into a 110–120V outdoor-rated outlet.
Keep transformer housing dry and ensure cables are free from tension or pinch points.
For concealed setups, an electrician can hardwire the unit through underground conduit.
💡 Do not connect to an extension cord or indoor power source.
Common DIY Mistakes to Avoid
Uneven surface or incorrect post spacing
Over-tightening beam bolts before full frame alignment
Forgetting to connect the gutter drain outlets
Pinching or bending the motor cable during assembly
Running power before verifying all louvers move freely
When Professional Installation Is Required
Mounting on uneven or elevated decks
Multiple-bay connections
Integrating electrical lighting or accessories (e.g., heaters, sensors)
Attaching sunshades or slat walls on all sides
📞 Hansø can connect you with a certified local installer for full setup and testing.
Warranty Note
Hansø’s product warranty remains valid for DIY installations only if the pergola is anchored correctly, powered via a standard outdoor outlet, and assembled according to the official installation manual.
Improper installation or unapproved modifications may void the coverage for structural or electrical components.
