Blade Pro is crafted from heavy-gauge, powder-coated aluminum, ensuring exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and a sleek finish that withstands harsh weather conditions.
Blade Pro is available in the following standard sizes: 10’ x 10’, 10’ x 14’, 14’ x 14’, and 14’ x 20’.
For certain size adjustments, our installation partner, Mankind Builders, may be able to shorten columns and beams. However, if side systems like Slide or Shade are included, on-site adjustments may not be possible. We also offer custom sizes through a special order process. Submit the form here to receive a custom quote for your project.
Blade Pro is available in powder-coated Charcoal Black and True White, providing a sleek, durable finish.
While Blade Pro’s structure is guaranteed for 10 years, its powder-coated aluminum extrusions are built to last much longer with proper care.
The main difference between T5 and T6 aluminum lies in their heat treatment processes and resulting strength:
• T5 Aluminum: Cooled from the extrusion process and then artificially aged. It has moderate strength and is easier to form.
• T6 Aluminum: Undergoes solution heat treatment, quenching, and artificial aging, resulting in higher strength and durability compared to T5.
At Pergolade, we use T6 (A6063) aluminum, known for its exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and suitability for architectural applications. This ensures Blade Pro provides superior performance and longevity, even in demanding environments.
Absolutely! The louvers are operable and allow precise control over sunlight, shade, and ventilation with a smooth tubular motor system. They can also be integrated with smart home systems for added convenience.
Blade Pro can be configured as either a freestanding structure or wall-mounted, depending on your needs and space requirements. When sliders or screens are added, rear columns will be included regardless of the configuration to support the system.
The wall-mounted version of Blade Pro is securely attached to the wall using heavy-duty brackets and fasteners, designed to ensure stability and evenly distribute the weight. Installers may need to add proper flashing between the wall and the system to prevent water from seeping into your house or building, ensuring a watertight connection. Professional installation is recommended for optimal results.
Yes, the column heights can be shortened on-site to accommodate non-leveled floors. However, keep in mind that if the Slide system is included, its fixed height may prevent it from fitting properly under Blade Pro after column adjustments. The Shade system, on the other hand, can adapt as its height is adjustable and the fabric limits can be reprogrammed. Proper planning and professional installation are recommended to ensure compatibility.
Yes, Blade Pro can be enhanced with optional perimeter LED lighting (white or RGB), a ceiling fan base, and heaters to elevate your outdoor comfort. Please note that electrical heaters over 2000 watts typically require 220V power, which necessitates a professional electrician to install the necessary cables, conduits, and connections.
Yes, you can grill under Blade Pro, but it’s important to ensure proper ventilation to prevent heat and smoke from accumulating. Keep the louver blades open during grilling to allow smoke to escape and avoid direct exposure of high heat to the structure. Always follow safety guidelines for outdoor grilling, and position the grill at a safe distance from columns and accessories like lighting or motorized components.
Blade Pro requires a stable and level foundation for proper installation and long-term performance:
• Concrete Slab: Ideal for direct installation.
• Stone Pavers: Must have concrete footings beneath for stability.
• Composite Wood Decking: May require reinforcement blocks between joists below the deck to support the structure.
• Dirt or Uneven Ground: Requires concrete footings for secure anchoring.
Consult with a professional installer to determine the best foundation for your setup.
It is recommended to properly earth the Blade Pro structure during installation to enhance safety, particularly in areas prone to lightning. Earthing helps redirect electrical surges away from the structure, protecting both the system and its users. Consult with a professional electrician to ensure proper grounding.
Yes! Blade Pro is compatible with our Slide (sliding glass doors) and Shade (motorized screens) systems, allowing you to fully enclose and customize your outdoor space.
Yes, Blade Pro is designed to handle high wind speeds and heavy snow loads, making it suitable for various climates. It also features watertight gaskets and integrated gutters for effective rainwater management.
Yes, the louver blades are designed to operate in frosty conditions. The built-in rubber gaskets on the louvers create a watertight seal, helping to prevent ice buildup between the blades. In cases of extreme frost forming externally, it’s recommended to allow the ice to thaw before operation to avoid strain on the motor or mechanism. Regular maintenance ensures smooth and reliable performance even in colder climates.
Blade Pro features integrated gutters and extruded aluminum columns that act as downspouts, effectively capturing and redirecting rainwater to keep your space dry and functional.
Blade Pro’s double-walled aluminum louvers are designed to minimize rain noise by reducing direct impact and vibration. While some sound is natural during rain, the structure’s robust build and watertight design help ensure a quieter, more comfortable outdoor experience.
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Blade Pro:
• Gutters and Louvers: While the gutters are covered with flashing as part of the structure, it’s important to regularly remove leaves and debris to prevent clogs and maintain proper drainage.
• General Cleaning: Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water to clean the louvers, columns, and other structural components. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the powder-coated finish.
Regular maintenance helps keep your Blade Pro in excellent condition and extends its lifespan.
During a hurricane or severe weather event, it’s recommended to:
• Open the Louvers Completely: This minimizes wind resistance and reduces the risk of damage to the structure.
• Secure Loose Items: Remove or secure furniture, accessories, and other objects under the pergola to prevent them from being blown around.
• Inspect After the Storm: Once the weather clears, check the structure and components for any signs of damage.
Blade Pro is engineered to withstand high winds, but taking these precautions ensures the safety and longevity of your pergola.
