At Distinctive Outdoor Structures, we are all about making your outdoor living dreams a reality. We get a lot of questions from our customers about the custom pergolas, motorized screens, and other structures we offer—and we love providing the answers! To make it even easier for you, we have compiled some of the most common questions we get, along with how we bring solutions to life in stunning outdoor spaces. Let us dive in!
Question 1: Can I leave my motorized screens down all the time?
Our customers love the convenience of motorized screens (hello, shade and privacy at the touch of a button!), but many wonder if they can keep them down all year long. The answer is yes—our MagnaTrack Motorized Screens are built tough! These bad boys are engineered to handle a wide range of weather conditions, from blustery winds to scorching heat, so you can enjoy them whenever you need them. Plus, they help keep bugs out while letting the fresh air in, making them a year-round favorite.
Solution: Get long-lasting protection and comfort with MagnaTrack screens. Whether it is rain, sun, or those pesky mosquitos, these screens have you covered.
Question 2: Can I use my pergola during the winter?
Ah, the million-dollar question. Outdoor spaces do not have to go into hibernation when temperatures drop. With our customizable StruXure Pergola X, you can enjoy your outdoor area all year long! The adjustable louvers give you control over sunlight and ventilation, meaning you can cozy up under your pergola with a cup of hot cocoa, even in the winter. Many of our clients pair their pergolas with heaters or even fire pits to create the ultimate outdoor retreat.
Solution: By adding heating elements and our innovative StruXure Pergola X, your backyard becomes a year-round haven, even in the chilliest months.
Question 3: Do I need a permit for my pergola installation?
Permits can feel like a hassle, but we are here to make the process smooth. Yes, you often need a permit for installing a pergola, but our team at Distinctive Outdoor Structures takes care of all of that for you. We have an in-house permit department that works with local municipalities to ensure everything is up to code and done right.
Solution: Do not worry about permits—we have got it covered! We handle the red tape so you can focus on designing your dream outdoor space.
Question 4: Are your pergolas wind-resistant?
When you live in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, wind is definitely something to consider when planning an outdoor project. Luckily, our Corradi Pergotenda® models are designed to withstand high winds while maintaining a sleek and stylish appearance. Whether you choose the Palladia or the Maestro, you will get a pergola that is built for durability and performance. Pair it with MagnaTrack Screens for even more protection from the elements.
Solution: Our pergolas are not just pretty—they are tough, too. Built to withstand the elements, these structures offer peace of mind in even the windiest weather.
Question 5: Can I customize my outdoor project?
Absolutely! At Distinctive Outdoor Structures, we specialize in 100% custom projects tailored to your needs. Whether you are looking for a StruXure pergola, a Corradi awning, or motorized screens, we work with you from design to installation to ensure the perfect fit for your space. Our design and engineering teams bring your vision to life with precision and creativity, solving common issues like shading, privacy, and weather resistance with ease.
Solution: No cookie-cutter designs here! Our custom outdoor structures are designed specifically for you, from the layout to the materials. If you can dream it, we can build it.
Question 6: How do I clean my outdoor structure?
You have got a stunning new pergola or motorized screen—how do you keep it looking fresh? Cleaning is simple! We recommend using a mild detergent and water to gently wash down your pergola or screens. For the MagnaTrack Screens, use a soft brush to remove any debris, and for the StruXure Pergola X, a light rinse with water will do the trick.
Solution: Cleaning is quick and easy with our durable outdoor products, making maintenance a breeze so you can spend more time enjoying your space.
