Physical fit first
Exact width and depth beat nominal labels. If dimensions aren’t verified, we don’t pretend they fit.
01 / FIELD GUIDE
The right pergola is a fit problem.
We match real dimensions, mounting, budget and roof behavior against source-backed product data — then rank the strongest fits.

Fit comes first.
How much space do you actually have?
Enter the maximum clear footprint. We test verified product dimensions, not the rounded size on the box.

Tip: nominal “10 × 13” pergolas often need an extra inch or two in the real footprint. Decimals are accepted.

Show our confidence
Evidence quality is scored separately, so a compelling product with weak documentation can’t hide behind a high match score.
Evidence, not affiliate gravity
The recommendation comes before the merchant.
Manufacturer pages, manuals and authorized retailers feed the dataset. Affiliate economics can choose between equivalent merchant offers only after the product ranking is finished.
