A pergola costs hundreds or thousands of dollars and sits outside through every season, so the warranty matters. Terms run from one year to six in our listings, and some brands give no warranty term in their specs.
Warranty length by brand
As of November 8, 2026, this is what each brand states across the models we track:
| Brand | Models in data | Warranty length | Models with no warranty stated | Price range |

Domi states 5 years on all eight of its models, from the $649.99 wall-mounted 10' x 12' gazebo to the $1,999.99 metal louvered pergola 10' x 20'. Paragon spans 4 to 6 years, with the Suprema line at 6. Mirador ranges from 2 years on the Steel 80S pergola to 4 years on its 111DA, 111A, Infinite and 140DA lines.

What a warranty does and does not tell you
Years alone are a weak measure. Federal law, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, lets a maker call a warranty "full" only if it meets minimum standards: free repair, no limit on implied warranties, and a refund or replacement after failed repairs. A warranty that does not meet them must be labeled "limited." Critics note that nearly all consumer products now carry limited warranties. Assume yours is limited and read it for:
- Which parts are covered: frame, louvers, motor, finish, hardware.
- Whether the finish is covered, which matters because galvanized and coated steel depends on its coating.
- Who pays for shipping parts back and labor to install replacements.
- Whether the warranty transfers if you sell the house.
- Exclusions for wind or snow above the stated rating. A 1 year warranty on a 65 mph pergola will not help in a 90 mph gust.
Written warranty terms must be disclosed in plain language, so ask the seller for the full text before paying, not the summary on the product page.
How to use this
- Compare warranty years only between similar sizes.
- Treat a missing term as a question for the maker, not as no coverage and not as coverage.
- If you buy a 1 year warranty brand, make installation and anchoring exact, since defects tend to show in year one anyway.
- Pair the warranty with ratings: our wind and snow guide and material guide show how.
Every model page lists the warranty from the maker: for example Paragon Suprema 10' x 12' and Domi Metal Louvered Pergola 10' x 20'.
