Many pergolas on the market only offer rafters or flat lattice style tops that may only reduce sunlight by 20 or 30 percent. Our pergolas use angled shade purlins that actually help block out all that bright Florida sunlight. And the best part is, you can choose your shade level. While we do offer just decorative rafters with no shade, most of our Southern Florida fans find the extra shade a necessity! You can choose from 50% shade, 75% shade or 90% shade to suit your needs. So no matter if you are looking for a decorative pergola for aesthetics only, or need a shade structure to block out the sun next to your pool, Heartland Pergolas can deliver what you need!

Every Heartland Pergola features an ultra-strong aluminum frame that runs throughout the pergola posts, beams and rafters. Aluminum will not rust and unlike wood pergolas or wood pergola inserts, can't rot away either. If your pergola sits along the coast subject to salt water, wind, rain, and hurricanes; you can rest easy knowing you have a lifetime warranty on your pergola kit.
Many people think they’re getting a great deal by purchasing a cheaper wooden pergola (or vinyl pergola with wood inside) only to find out in a few short years later, Florida moisture has damaged or warped your structure and you will need to start all over again.

You have enough to do on a daily basis. Maintaining your Heartland Pergola doesn't need to be one of them. Any scuffs buff out easily with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and a quick spray down with the hose once or twice a year will remove any dirt. That's it! Grab a cool drink and just enjoy!.
Because our pergolas are made with aluminum and vinyl, they are relatively light weight, with no single piece over 50lbs, making it easy to move all parts into place for construction. The pergola's weight is also a fraction of that of a solid wood pergola which allows you to secure your pergola to a deck without additional structural support!
