Louvred Pergola Installation Challenges
I’m planning to upgrade our old wooden pergola to a louvred one but keep hearing mixed opinions about how hard they are to install. Some say it’s straightforward with two people, while others mention complex roof alignment and drainage that must be precise. I’m fairly handy, but not a pro. Is this the type of project that ends up costing more because you need professional help, or is it doable with patience and careful measuring?

We installed ours last spring after ordering from https://closethedeal.co.uk/catalogs/louvred-pergola-gazebo. It wasn’t impossible, but the louvred roof mechanism required proper alignment, which slowed us down. The posts were easy, but making sure the water channels lined up took extra time. I’d say two experienced people can do it in a weekend, but if you’re unsure about tools or leveling, hiring help for just the roof part might save stress.
