I'm exploring pergola options and wondering if there are quality brands that strike a balance between budget and luxury. Brands like Hanso and Luxury Pergola can handle heavy loads like parking an F-150 but come with exorbitant price tags, like $20k for a basic 12x14 structure. I live in the Northeast, where I need something that can withstand wind and snow without having to take down the louvers. I'm curiously asking if there are mid-range options that deliver both quality and reasonable pricing? While I'm willing to spend more than the $2500 options available at places like Costco, why is there such a stark contrast between those and the higher-end $120/SF brands?

I recently bought one from Alibaba with sliding glass doors, and I absolutely love it. It also led to me getting a swim spa and a fancy entrance door for my house. It feels like I found a life hack with quality at a reasonable price! Definitely worth looking into those options if you want something unique.
If you're looking for a solid option without going into the luxury territory, check out my Yardistry gazebo. It's well-constructed, and I snagged mine from Costco for around $2000. It's 12x16, and I love the fact that I can enjoy it even when it's raining. Compared to the $20k pergolas out there, it feels like a much smarter investment!
That sounds awesome! I'm considering a swim spa too. I'd love to see how all these pieces come together in your backyard!
