Apex Pergola Features and Configurations

Learn about the main Apex Pergola features, including motorized adjustable louvers, freestanding and wall-mounted options, aluminum construction, color options, and compatible accessories.

The Apex Pergola is Hanso’s premium motorized aluminum pergola line. It is designed for customers who want a modern outdoor structure with adjustable shade, built-in lighting, durable aluminum construction, and a clean architectural look.

Apex was formerly known as Master+. Some older manuals, labels, packaging, or support materials may still use the Master+ name.


Key Apex features

The Apex Pergola includes:

  • Motorized adjustable louvers

  • Integrated LED lights

  • Premium aluminum frame

  • Freestanding and wall-mounted options

  • Remote-controlled operation

  • Modern matte color options

  • Compatible accessories

  • Weather-resistant outdoor design

Apex does not have a manual version. All Apex Pergolas are motorized.


Motorized adjustable louvers

Apex uses motorized louvers that allow you to adjust the roof position for sunlight, shade, airflow, and rain protection.

With the remote control, you can open or close the louvers depending on your outdoor needs.

For example:

  • Open the louvers for sunlight and airflow

  • Partially close the louvers for shade

  • Fully close the louvers for more coverage from light rain

Apex is designed as an outdoor shade and comfort product. It is not intended to replace a fully sealed indoor roof system.


Integrated LED lights

The Apex Pergola includes integrated LED lights to help make your outdoor space more usable and comfortable in the evening.

The LED lights are built into the pergola design and are controlled as part of the motorized system.

LED lighting is useful for:

  • Evening dining or lounging

  • Creating ambient outdoor lighting

  • Improving visibility under the pergola

  • Extending use of the outdoor space after sunset

Electrical access is required for the motorized louvers and LED lighting. Before installation, confirm that power access is available near the installation area.


Freestanding and wall-mounted options

Apex is available in two mounting styles:

  • Freestanding

  • Wall-mounted

A freestanding Apex Pergola is installed as a standalone structure.

A wall-mounted Apex Pergola attaches to a suitable wall or building structure.

The right option depends on your space, mounting surface, wall condition, clearance, and installation requirements.


Premium aluminum frame

The Apex Pergola is built with an aluminum frame designed for outdoor use. Aluminum is commonly used for pergolas because it is durable, modern-looking, and suitable for long-term exposure to outdoor conditions.

The frame must still be properly installed and anchored to a suitable surface.


Color options

Apex is available in modern matte color options.

Common Apex color options include:

  • Matte Grey

  • Matte White

Color availability may vary by size, inventory, or configuration. Please check the product page or confirm with Hanso Support before placing an order.


Compatible accessories

Apex may be compatible with select accessories depending on size and configuration.

Compatible accessory categories may include:

  • Sunshades

  • Slat walls

  • Heaters

  • Lighting

Accessory compatibility may vary. Always confirm the accessory size and compatibility before purchasing or installing add-ons.


Important configuration notes

Before choosing your Apex Pergola, please review:

  • Pergola size

  • Freestanding or wall-mounted setup

  • Installation surface

  • Clearance requirements

  • Electrical access

  • Accessory compatibility

  • HOA or permit requirements, if applicable

For complex spaces, elevated decks, uneven surfaces, unusual wall materials, or tight clearance areas, we recommend consulting a licensed contractor before installation.
