Interested in learning more about the materials we use to construct our pergolas? Take a look at the information below, or call us at (563) 345-6745 to hear more.
Our pergolas are made with an engineered extruded aluminum frame on the inside and premium vinyl on the outside.
The structural components of our pergola system; the posts, beams and rafters are all reinforced with aluminum throughout. This framework is engineered to withstand high winds, will not rust and will never sag or warp like wood. The ½” thick heavy welded post base gives you a secure attachment to your deck, slab, footing or pillar.
Our premium vinyl carries the color all the way through. It’s easy to clean and requires little to no maintenance. It will never chalk, pit, discolor or become brittle.
We have fixed louvred ‘purlins’ which create the shade below your pergola. These angled purlins can be ordered for 50%, 75% or 90% shade. The level of shade is created by the spacing of the angled purlins.
Since these are fixed in place, the shade can not be adjusted or changed once installed unless removing and adding a new purlin holder to change the level of shade created.
We have the best of both worlds!
Aluminum base structure for extreme durability and strength paired with a vinyl exterior that makes your pergola maintenance super easy!
Many vinyl pergolas on the market are going to have no reinforcement or internal reinforcement by wood. Over time, that wood will rot, warp and sag. The aluminum inserts of Heartland Pergolas ensure that is never an issue for your pergola. It's a solid structure, easy to maintain and will last you for decades! We are so confidant in that fact that we offer a Lifetime Warranty.
Yes! Our kits have undergone a thorough FEA analysis by an independent structural engineering firm. The results helped us to design our pergolas to withstand very high wind loads.
We are so confident in their structural soundness that we warranty our kits against wind damage. You can read more about our wind warranty.
We have our standard kit stamped engineered drawings and can obtain custom stamped engineered stamped drawings if needed.
Bring it on!
All Heartland Pergolas have an internal aluminum frame. That means they won’t sag or fail in extreme hot or cold weather.
The vinyl exterior is thick and durable enough that you don’t have to worry about deforming in the summer heat OR cracking in extreme cold.
It’s a pergola system that is perfect for all locations and environments!
Those looking to add protection from the rain can install different materials like plexiglass / polycarbonate or Lexan panels to the roof of your pergola. There are many different plastic sheet and panel distributors out there to choose from.
We recommend adding a slight slope to the pergola roof in the direction you prefer rainwater to drain. In addition, be aware that the solid roof will retain snow. While our testing has shown our pergola roofs to be very resilient under snow loads, Heartland Pergolas will not warranty damage caused by the accumulation of heavy snow if a solid roof is installed.
If you live in an area with large snow falls, please be sure to talk to our team about your intended use of solid panels on the roof.
Yes - If you would like to see the quality of our materials, we can send you a sample kit! The sample kit will include a 6" cut of our 2x6 vinyl and aluminum profiles. Choose the vinyl color you wish to see!
A rain proof pergola lets you enjoy your outdoor space regardless of the weather. Combining style and practicality, these structures provide protection from rain while maintaining an open and inviting atmosphere.

The dimensions of a Heartland Pergola refer to the width and depth of the pergola's roof. The pergola roof will include the beams and rafters, and on a traditional style pergola, will extend past the posts of your pergola.
For an example, a 14' x 14' pergola means that the overhead roof dimensions are 14' x 14'.
To figure out post spacing you will want to look at the specific CAD drawing for the pergola size you are looking for. Noting that a typical traditional style pergola will be built with the posts inset one foot from the end of your beams. Modern pergolas will NOT have an overhang.
Tip while planning - if your patio space is 14' x 14', most homeowners will opt to go a size larger on a Traditional Style Pergola so that the overhang of the pergola roof extends past the edge of your patio, rather than stopping even with it. A 14' x 14' patio would benefit from installing a 16' x 16' pergola (or greater) for optimum sun coverage.
