For USA pergola projects, the manufacturer needs the project city, local design criteria, dimensions and installation concept. Wind, snow, permitting, electrical listing and foundation requirements vary by state and municipality.
Climate and application priorities in the USA
Regional climate affects louver orientation, finish care, drainage and operating procedures. A project brief should identify the actual city and exposure instead of treating the USA as one uniform condition.
LUCY uses the location, intended use and project criteria to review a suitable module and accessory concept. Local professionals remain responsible for code compliance, structural criteria and approvals.
- Hurricane-prone coastal wind exposure
- Snow regions and roof-drift conditions
- High solar gain in southern and western climates
- Freeze-thaw and drainage planning
Recommended project approach
Begin with the site plan, clear dimensions, mounting surface and photographs. Add the design criteria supplied by the local engineer and identify any screens, glass, lighting or control integration.
Applications vary from residential patios to hospitality and commercial developments. Each needs a different balance of shade, open sky, staff operation and maintenance.
| Application | Planning emphasis |
|---|---|
| Residential patios and pool areas | Coordinate local permits and structural review. |
| Restaurant outdoor dining | Protect circulation, seating and egress. |
| Hotel and multifamily amenities | Use repeatable modules with site-specific foundations. |
| Rooftop commercial terraces | Review height, edge exposure and roof attachment. |
Export, delivery and local responsibility
Confirm the Incoterm, port or delivery address, package dimensions and unloading plan before shipment. Long profiles need supported dry storage and protection from site traffic.
The local team should coordinate customs, foundations, anchors, wiring, waterproofing, lifting and final commissioning. Shipping documents and packaging labels should match the approved order and installation sequence.
- Confirm port, inland delivery and customs broker
- Provide package weights for unloading equipment
- Use local licensed installers and electricians
- Retain drawings and order records for parts

Can voltage and controls be adapted?+
Electrical requirements can be reviewed when the destination supply and control expectations are provided.
Can finishes be selected for coastal sites?+
Finish and maintenance requirements can be reviewed, but exact exposure and cleaning conditions must be stated.
