Hansø Home pergolas

Three families, one construction: an aluminum frame with an adjustable louvered roof that opens for sun and closes for shade and rain. The Pro+ is the manual kit, the Horizon is the motorized one, and the Apex is a heavier motorized line that Hansø positions, in its own words, for coastal, open and snow-prone sites. The comparison below uses the specifications and prices we verified for each Hansø family; the table under it holds what the brand states that we have not verified.

Hansø prices every size and color on its product pages and shows no compare-at figure, so the list price is the price. We read every variant on 13 Sep 2026 and re-checked the brand’s live product data on 14 Sep 2026; the figures matched. First the cheapest size of each family, then all three held at 10×13 ft and at 13×19 ft so the cost of the motor and of the heavier Apex frame is visible at one footprint.

The Pro+ is the only manual kit: a hand crank opens and closes the louvers, and Hansø’s own description of it is a kit with no motors and no sensors. The Horizon and Apex are motorized, controlled from a phone app, Alexa, Google Home or Apple HomeKit as published, with a rain sensor sold as an option that closes the roof when it detects rain. The 10×13 table above shows what the motor and controls add at one size; the Apex’s further step is a heavier frame, higher published wind and snow figures, and the three largest footprints, not a different control set.

Two things the motor changes beyond the price. A motorized kit needs an outdoor 120 V supply, which is a separate electrical job unless an outlet is already in place. And on Hansø’s warranty the motor is covered for one year, against five for the manual crank mechanism and ten for the frame, so the part that moves on a Horizon or Apex carries the shortest term. For every motorized kit we have verified, see motorized pergolas.

Hansø sells fixed footprints only, no custom dimensions, and the ladder depends on the family. All three sell 10×10, 10×13, 13×13 and 13×19. The Horizon and Apex add 10×19. Only the Apex goes further, to 10×26, 13×23 and 13×26, which makes it the largest fixed-size motorized louvered kit we have verified: 338 sq ft in one rectangle, where most direct-to-consumer kit brands stop at 13×19 or 13×20. Hansø publishes no 12×12 or 12×16, so it does not appear on our 12×12 or 12×16 pages; its sizes are listed as chips further down this page, each opening the catalogue filtered to that size.

Hansø’s site headlines a “10-Year Warranty”. The document splits it into three terms, requires registration within 30 days of delivery, excludes labor, and describes the pergolas as a freestanding construction. It is quoted from our record below, with the same terms applying to all three families.

Hansø publishes no parts list for any of the three kits, so this page shows none: not the hardware, not the anchoring, not what ships in which crate. That is a gap in the record rather than a statement that the kits arrive incomplete, and the fix is to ask Hansø for the packing list in writing before you order. Two things are clear from the product pages: the motorized kits need a 120 V outdoor supply that is not in the box, and every accessory is priced separately.

Hansø markets a 100-day money-back window. The refund policy sets the conditions, and they change what the window is for: a return must be unused and unassembled in its original packaging, so it is a window to change your mind about a box, not to try a pergola. The lead time is the other term to plan around, and it is published where a buyer would not look.

Hansø markets weather performance heavily and publishes a different figure for each family. Every figure below is the brand’s own: the testing body is not named, and Hansø states that it does not hold an ICC-ES evaluation report. We have tested nothing and rank on none of it. Read “rated” and “certified” in Hansø’s copy as rated by Hansø, and read them beside the warranty, which excludes damage from heavy snow, violent winds and hurricanes.
