Source-linked variants included in the benchmark.
What pergola kit listings actually document
We analyzed the source-linked, intentionally indexable variants in our current pergola catalog to measure price evidence, roof operation, published wind and snow documentation, warranty coverage and the fields that are still missing. The benchmark is calculated from the live research dataset rather than typed into this page.
Benchmark snapshot
Scope: 16 source-linked, intentionally indexable variants across 4 brands and 10 model families. This is a curated research dataset, not a census of every pergola kit sold in the US.
16 / 16
100% have a recorded published wind figure and the conditions attached to it.
9 / 16
56% have a recorded published snow-load figure and stated conditions.
Manual vs. motorized coverage
The dataset records roof operation for 9 of 16 variants. We do not infer operation when the source record is unresolved.
8
Manual-operation variants (50% of the benchmark).
1
Motorized variants (6%).
7
Variants without a normalized manual/motorized classification.
Verified exact-variant price observations
Only products with an exact-variant price, a recorded observation date and a price-source URL are included in this distribution. Starting prices and unresolved prices are excluded rather than treated as exact.
16
Variants with a verified exact-price observation (100% of the benchmark).
$2,099
Median observed exact-variant kit price in the current dataset.
$399–$3,360
Observed range among qualifying exact-price records, not a market-wide price range.
The biggest evidence gaps
Missing documentation is itself useful buying information. These counts show where the current source-linked dataset does not yet meet the benchmark's evidence rule.
| Evidence field | Documented | Missing / unresolved | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| documented snow-load evidence | 9 | 7 | 56% |
| recorded warranty terms | 14 | 2 | 88% |
| documented wind evidence | 16 | 0 | 100% |
| verified exact-variant price | 16 | 0 | 100% |
How to read this benchmark
Each count is generated from the same normalized catalog used by MyPergolaMatch's product pages. A wind or snow figure counts only when the numeric claim, its conditions and a source URL are recorded. A price counts only when it is an exact-variant observation with a source and observation date. Unknown values stay unknown.
This does not mean MyPergolaMatch independently tested 16 structures. It measures the evidence we can trace in manufacturer or authorized-retailer material. Multiple sizes from one product family can share documentation, so variant counts should not be read as independent engineering tests.
Latest saved technical verification date among included records: 2026-09-09. The page recalculates when the reviewed catalog changes.
