There are many companies that sell vinyl pergola/vinyl patio cover kits. And they do look similar from the outside, but the differences are vast. Differences in engineering, structural inserts, design, ease of installation, and finally price. For example, our 2" x 8" aluminum I Beam has ribs in the middle to prevent the hollow 2" x 8" vinyl from bowing inwards.

| Questions to Ask Before Buying a Pergola Kit |
USAVinyl's Double Beam Pergolas |
Competitor |
| Are the headers true 2" x 8" beams? This is an important aesthetic quality to the beauty of your vinyl pergola. |
Yes - USAVinyl uses 2" x 8" headers for our double beam pergolas. |
Most do not. |
| Do the 2" x 8" headers have aluminum inserts for structural integrity? Do the 2" x 8" aluminum inserts have a rib in the middle to prevent the vinyl from bowing? (see photo above) |
Yes- USAVinyl has developed our exclusive aluminum I-beam with a rib in the middle to make sure the hollow vinyl extrusion keeps its shape (not bow in), a lot of competitors use weak "ribbed" headers or very small metal inserts that lack structural integrity. Some competitors have an I-Beam, but without the rib, which can cause bowing of the 2" x 8" hollow vinyl... |
Only USAVinyl has our exclusive I Beam! |
| Are there two - 2" x 8" headers per column set or just one? The double beam is important for strength and appearance. |
All of our double beam pergolas have two headers. |
Most do not. |
| Where is the vinyl made? The country of origin for the vinyl is a direct quality issue. A lot of foreign made vinyl has poor UV resistance and poor impact resistance. |
USAVinyl only uses American made vinyl. |
Not sure - if they don't say made in the USA -they are probably from another country. |
| How many colors and post columns do you offer? |
USAVinyl offers three colors - white, tan, and khaki for our double beam vinyl pergolas. We also offer 3 post options, 5" x 5" square, 7" x 7" square, and 7.25" round tapered columns in all three colors! |
Only USAVinyl! |
| Who manufactures the vinyl pergola? You will get the best price and expert service from the manufacturer. |
USAVinyl manufactures all of our double beam and single beam vinyl pergolas - you are purchasing direct from the factory! |
Most are middle men. |
| Is your pergola engineered tested and stamped by an structural engineer? Engineered tested vinyl pergolas have structural integrity and ensures the safety of your pergola. And may also be necessary for the local building department. |
Independent engineering data and analysis is available for our single beam and double beam vinyl pergolas. USAVinyl's vinyl pergolas can be installed to meet the 140 MPH Exposure C building code requirements. |
Most do not. |
| What kind of mounting system is offered? The most critical issue in the structural integrity of any vinyl pergola is the connection to the concrete deck or in-ground installation.
|
USAVinyl has developed our exclusive patent pending mounting system to attach to concrete and we also send longer structural posts for in-ground installation. This allows our vinyl pergolas to withstand hurricane type wind forces and 4 feet of snow load.
|
Only USAVinyl! |
| Are custom vinyl pergolas/vinyl patio covers available? |
Since USAVinyl is the manufacturer of the vinyl pergola, we can customize the pergola to your needs.
|
Most companies are middle men and cannot customize. |
| Are your vinyl pergolas easy to install and do you send step by step directions? |
We designed our pergolas for ease of installation and we send step by step installation instructions and have toll free technical support. |
Not sure. |
