Broadview Deluxe Pergola vs. Cheap Imported Pergolas: FAQs
At Broadview, we pride ourselves on offering high-quality, long-lasting outdoor shading solutions, including our new Deluxe Pergola.
With many low-cost pergola alternatives flooding the market, it’s important to understand the key differences between a premium pergola from a specialist provider such as Broadview Shading Solutions and cheaper imports that are typically sold in your local discount stores or on marketplaces such as Ebay or Temu.
What are the key differences in material quality?
Broadview Deluxe Pergola:
Our pergolas are manufactured by Brustor, who are based in Belgium and known as the leading manufacturer of outdoor shading solutions in Europe. They use only premium materials, including high-grade aluminium and weather-resistant components, designed to withstand the toughest weather conditions for many years without fading, rusting, or degrading.
Cheap Imported Pergolas:
Low-cost pergolas often use lower-quality materials such as thin aluminium or steel that can easily rust or bend. The fabric may be less durable, leading to faster wear and tear.
How does the build quality compare?
Broadview Deluxe Pergola:
Built to exacting standards, our pergolas undergo strict quality control measures to ensure every component is durable, structurally sound, and long-lasting. The construction is solid, providing stability even in high winds or heavy rain.
Cheap Imported Pergolas:
Imported pergolas often have poor build quality due to mass production methods and lower material standards. They may feel flimsy and can struggle to stay stable in bad weather, leading to frequent repairs or replacements.
What is the expected lifespan of each pergola?
Broadview Deluxe Pergola:
Our Deluxe Pergolas are designed to last for decades with minimal maintenance. With high-quality construction and materials, you won’t have to worry about replacing your pergola any time soon.
Cheap Imported Pergolas:
These pergolas typically have a much shorter lifespan, often only lasting a few years before rust, tears, or structural issues become significant. You may find yourself needing to replace a cheap pergola much sooner than expected.
How do the features compare?
Broadview Deluxe Pergola:
Our pergolas come with advanced features such as motorised louvered roofs, integrated LED louvre lighting, plug-in electric heating, electric roller screens and an integrated drainage system offering a luxurious and customisable outdoor living experience at affordable prices.
Cheap Imported Pergolas:
Budget pergolas generally come with limited features. Manual operation is common, and you won’t find integrated lighting, weather sensors, or premium finishing touches. These pergolas are usually designed for basic shading without additional functionalities.
What about the warranty?
Broadview Deluxe Pergola:
Our pergolas come with a 2 year Brustor guarantee, covering both the structure and the motorised components, ensuring peace of mind with your investment.
Cheap Imported Pergolas:
Low-cost pergolas typically come with a very limited warranty, often only covering a short period or basic manufacturing defects. This leaves you with little recourse if something goes wrong after a year or two.
How do installation services compare?
Broadview Deluxe Pergola:
At Broadview, we provide professional installation by our experienced fitters, ensuring your pergola is installed safely, securely, and correctly. We also offer ongoing support and maintenance. Or we offer delivery only if you’d like to install it yourself.
Cheap Imported Pergolas:
Cheaper pergolas are often DIY installation kits with minimal guidance. Without professional installation, you risk improper assembly, which can lead to instability and safety issues down the line.
Are Broadview Deluxe Pergolas customisable?
Broadview Deluxe Pergola:
Yes, our Deluxe Pergolas are fully customisable. You can choose from a range of sizes, colours, and accessories such as integrated lighting, heating, and automated louvered roofs.
Cheap Imported Pergolas:
Most budget pergolas come in pre-set sizes and limited colour options, with little to no customisation available. You’ll likely have to settle for a one-size-fits-all approach.
What kind of support and aftercare do you offer?
Broadview Deluxe Pergola:
We offer comprehensive aftercare services, including regular maintenance options and customer support to help you keep your pergola in perfect condition year after year.
Cheap Imported Pergolas:
With cheaper alternatives, after-sales support is often minimal or non-existent. Replacement parts may be hard to come by, and you may be left on your own if issues arise after installation.
How does the price compare?
Broadview Deluxe Pergola:
While our Deluxe Pergola comes at a higher initial cost, it’s an investment in quality, durability, and luxury. In the long run, you’ll save money on replacements, repairs, and maintenance.
Cheap Imported Pergolas:
These pergolas come with a lower price tag, but the initial savings often result in higher long-term costs due to frequent repairs, replacements, and the need for new installations within a few years.
Why choose Broadview Deluxe Pergola over a cheaper alternative?
By choosing the Broadview Deluxe Pergola, you’re investing in a long-term solution that provides exceptional durability, luxury, and customisation. You’ll benefit from a beautiful, functional outdoor space that enhances your property and lasts for years to come. In contrast, cheaper imported pergolas may offer short-term shading but often fall short in quality, features, and longevity.
