📋 Pre-Installation Site Assessment

Short description:
Understand how Hanso’s installation partner reviews your site before installation to ensure a safe and successful build.


🧾 Overview

Before scheduling your White-Glove Installation, Hanso’s install partner performs a site assessment to confirm that your location is ready and compatible with your chosen pergola.


▼ What’s Checked

  • Ground or deck levelness and material

  • Available clearance and overhead obstructions

  • Mounting feasibility and drainage planning

  • Electrical access for motorized models


▼ How the Assessment Works

  1. Submit photos or short video of your installation area.

  2. The install team reviews and verifies readiness.

  3. If adjustments are needed, they’ll guide you before scheduling.


▼ When On-Site Visits Are Needed

In most cases, photo assessments suffice.
For complex builds (uneven surfaces or rooftop decks), a local technician may visit before installation.
