About Us:
Cover Your Pergola is the number-one pergola cover company in the whole United States. We’ve been installing patio covers since 2004 and have locations in Texas, Oklahoma, and Miami. However, we do ship covers across the entire country.
We offer two types of pergola covers - The Apollo and Hercules. Each is fully transparent and can be ordered to size. Apollo is our starter patio cover, consisting of a polycarbonate twin-wall and H-connector at the seams. Whereas the more-premium Hercules features a quadruple-wall polycarbonate with standing-seam orientation. Both systems block 100 percent of UV rays, come in a variety of colors (bronze, clear, and ice white), and are virtually leakproof.
Our CZcams channel is a place to connect with other pergola cover enthusiasts. Videos we create cover patio cover installation how-to’s, pergola roof ideas, system reviews, and a whole lot more! Be sure to subscribe to our channel to be the first to know when we upload a new video.

Why did you not use flashing at the top edge, under the Poly, to protect the exposed wood -- same at the bottom to cover wood and extend over the gutter as a drip edge? Why did you not caulk along the 16' side that butts up to the house wall to prevent water intrusion that will be trapped between the wood rafter and the siding which will promote rotting and eventual failure of rafter and siding? Also, with so few screws attaching the panels, how do the panels resist wind uplift, especially in areas prone to high winds and hurricanes?
You are correct sir! In this case, the slope is more than recommended so there's no chance for water to sit there. In other cases, we recommend overhanging 3" on the front and back sides so water drops straight down and not back on the wood. We always recommend flashing but it's homeowner decision and some just don't like the look. Covers are rated for 125 mph winds.
@@CoverYourPergola at the 13:01 mark in the video the panel is attached and the wood-purlin edge is partially exposed with no flashing. There should be an approved flashing that extends across the top and down the exposed edge of the purlin because any wood exposed to water will rot over time. Same applies along the gutter edge. Flashing at top & bottom edges would not show from below so the homeowner would have no reason to object to it. By the way, never let a homeowner make any decision that undermines professional standards & work ethics.
The 13:01 video mark also shows the poly-sheet butted to the exterior horizontal siding without any reference as to how you prevented water intrusion from entering the space between the siding & rafter. Was the rafter foamed or caulked prior to placing the poly-sheet? Was the poly-sheet foamed or caulked after it was secured in place? Nothing is shown or mentioned regarding how you dealt with this. If nothing was done, then it was done wrong.
So, telling me what you would normally do, or what the homeowner wants you to do, does not answer my questions and sounds very much like passing the buck... aka; Making Excuses for doing something incorrectly. You should return to this job and fix it and let your subscribers know in a follow-up video. By doing so you will earn the respect of the homeowner & your subscribers. IMHO!!! Thank you for replying
Video was very interesting and educational, but music very annoying and loud.
Is there any problem with water running into gutter because of u-channel? Does it seep under the channel and cause dripping on the patio?
so instead of cutting the middle sheet once you cut the outter sheets twice? and you used a saw instead of a corroclaw blade which makes no mess and is faster? amatures. or you could of just of left a few inches overhang to protect that outer board a bit. and not cut at all. you could of easily shaved .5 to 1 hr off the job.
Great job 👌 looks amazing! I want one!
No flashing of any kind along the house? It seems like there should be something to prevent the rainwater from running down the house?
There's gutters to catch the rain.
Appreciated the informative video. Didn't appreciate the repetitive music clip that played during the breaks whenever nobody was talking, and got progressively more annoying. Wondering why you didn't seal the place where the poly meets up with the vinyl siding. Seems like if someone is sitting in an outside chair backed up to the wall, they'll get spritzed with some icy freezing rains down their back, when the whole point of covering the pergola is to shield people from rain and such. Also noticed a door so when you walk thorugh it, there's a chance of getting spritzed there too.
This really helped to see how base and cap are installed. I'm doing a hard top on a 35' searay
My left ear enjoyed this
MY LEFT NUT DID TOO
Nice
That panel looks great brand new, how does it look after two years?
We have 10-year warranties and have systems in place much older looking just great!
Gutters where it attaches to the house??
Sorry - misunderstood you! Flashing is always recommended when any part of the pergola butts up to a house but there are situations where you can just use silicone. It's also up to the customer too. Some people don't like the look of flashing but it really is the best option.
How does that do as far as noise go during heavy rain?
I will be installing a pergola that abutts my BR. Hate to be kept up at night during heavy rains... Thanks!
It's not that bad. Not nearly as noisy as a metal roof!
Beautiful.
Looks cool..!! btw How about summer..Does it resist heat in Mid Hot summer ..? Can we stay under that.?
Whats the elint of a transparent roof when you've got all that wood blocking the light?
Aren't you suppose to blow air in the channels after drilling due to flakes or debris ?
Yes, that can help clear everything out before adding the vent tape!
Wish you guys were out here in Cali. Would love to install one of these.
WIsh granted! We have done plenty of work in California! We have many contractor connections and provide nationwide shipping!
Hi I’m in Australia… BEAUTIFUL PERGOLA…. What is the name of the roofing sheets please ? New subscriber
Can you ship to san diego, California? what's the name of the material
@@CoverYourPergola do you guys have a website? I live in Texas so would pickup be available
Beautiful!
My Question is can you put it over a Screen enclosures dome.
Should be able to but would depend upon the structure of the dome. Send us your location and we can get you a number to call for the branch that services your area or visit www.coveryourpergola.com to submit a customer service request. Thanks!
Do you also carry the roof bracket that connects the pergola beam to the asphalt roof?
Yes, those are architectural grade SkyLift roof risers. We have them in stock!
I’m in Mississauga Ontario canada, could you please tell me where I can get those 4’ x 16’ plus sheets. Thanks
Is this available for DIYers to install? What is the name of this product and how can I find it in my area? What lengths does it come in an d how much slope is required? Is it UV protected? Thanks.
How can I get this merchandise? I would love to start a mini business in Arizona. These things seem super helpful!
is it possible to cut a 45 degree hip roof with this stuff?
Hi, may I know what are beam sizes? isn't 16' a big span, is there a chance that big span would hang over a few years?
Depending upon material used, we recommend 4Xs on a 16' span.
Lush job guys brilliant
Justin @brickright
The Pergola is tied nicely into the roof. Where did you get the supports for this? Hopefully you built that as well.
That would be our SkyLifts!
how many mm is this sheet
Crazy expensive, just got our quote $10,000.00......😱😱😱
OMG 😱 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Did that include the pergola, or was it just for the top?
@@lindagregory4840 .... Just the top, 12 x 16!!! The pergola is four years old.... it only cost $8,000 to build ...for everything !!!
That isn't possible for any contractor to justify. I just bought 3 panels at 4x12 with the U and H trim and the tape, plus screws and clear silicone. I spent about $800 Canadian. For your 12x16 roof, add one more 4x12 panel and another H trim and you would be at $1,000 Canadian. So they are trying to bill you $9,000 for the labour? I will admit, the first time doing this is a bit of a challenge, but it is by no means an insurmountable DIY job. Even if you have to buy a decent ladder (which you will appreciate having in the future anyway), a drill and a cheap bit set, and a cheaper circular saw with a decent high tooth count blade, you are still well under $2,000 to do this yourself.
Not a hope. $10, 000. Hahahahahahahahahhahahhahahaha. Chancers.
Y’all did a great job! Wish you could install one for me just like that one.
Got a question about the outside edges. How do you protect them? U channel?
What are the brakets that are on the roof or brand?
+
Look up SkyLift Roof Riser
Nice guide. Where did you get that roofing poly material?
@@CoverYourPergola can you give a quote for a 20x 13 pergola.
Great video...but, the music is annoying.
Don't wash panels with a rag instead use a leave blower or you will scratch it and try to minimise walking on it for the same reason.
Hey guys, where do you buy your sheets from? AWSOME job!
Sorry for the delay! Thanks! Visit www.coveryourpergola.com for a free quote!
Nice!!! To install that pergola do u need a permit
No, but we do recommend speaking with your HOA first.
How long do they last and how easy is it to replace or fix a damage panel?
They are guaranteed 10 years of use before signs of yellowing and yes they are. If you are needing a replacement I would recommend speaking with rep for help.
Do those pergola supports go through the roof? Where do you get those?
The bracket does not attach to the roof. It attaches through the roof and fastens to the exterior wall top plate using only Simpson Strong-tie SDS ¼ x 3” fasteners which are included with the bracket. We have them in stock. Call us 210.599.8291!
What brand? Gallina?
Hi - we do work with Gallina but this is our proprietary brand, SkyPoly. Visit www.coveryourpergola.com for more info!
How hard is it to replace the shingles under the pergola if they have to be replaced?
Hi! The SkyLift Roof Risers are installed under the shingle from the beginning so as to never cause a problem if the roof needs replaced. We'd be happy to get you in touch with a material specialist if you need more information or how to steps.
@@CoverYourPergola thank you!
That music was about as cool as a crying baby.
So I need to have a slope or can it be flat ?
slope needed minimum 1" over 12'
You guys get 5 stars for effort! Pretty informative and the host/crew all have a good manner. I have to deduct a few overall because A: You did NOT address what to do as it joins the siding at the house, (just nothing and water runs right down that wall?) B: the audio is awful - not only quiet and muted speaking from the workers but then the loud annoying music, smh C: You didn't list any of the products in the description below or where they can be purchased😯 I have found them at Home Depot - but not listed in the larger sizes you spoke of. Tighten it up a bit guys and your videos will be as nice as your work 😎
Hello! We appreciate your input! The SkyLifts is what connects the roof to the pergola. The video was showing off our Apollo(standard) system with our Clear color option. They can be purchased on our website (www.regal-plastics.com/). Home Depot can't come close to what our covers do! The ones at Home Depot are thinner than a gift card, where ours are 8mm thick and can do much more!
Broken link. I'm interested in pricing this out.
@@omarreynold6782 I am sorry to hear that. Please try this link www.coveryourpergola.com or message us on instagram or Facebook!
Ice dams?
I want my pergola covered....I live in Grand Prairie....is it $$$ ? Please, Please, Please!
I bought this system 12’X20’ and metal H profiles and metal U profiles, I installed them and it looks good. Your video was very helpful, the only thing is that I didn’t put silicone in the holes, they gave me some black self adhesing gasket that goes under the washers and that’s the only thing I used. Is this going to cause problems for me later?
This pergola looks flat like mine, how much slope does it have?
Hi brother can you send me the link for this product I am trying to found? Tanks
Sorry for the delay. It should be ok. We recommend a minimum of a 4% slope for our Apollo system and a 2% slope for our Hercules system.
WEAR A MASK WHEN YOU CUT THE PLASTIC DINGLEBERRY, YOU GOT THE GLASSES IN ATLEAST, UR LUNGS ARE MAD
I live in Mequon, Wis. Can you tell me who can install this here?
We have many contracor connections. DM me on Instagram or Facebook!
How can I order this please ?
1) Can you recommend a builder in Miami, Florida that can put this on a pergola?
2) Can you give me a quote for your product in the bronze, for a 22" x 12" pergola?
Hello! I can recommend one of our many installation connections. and I can provide a quote through our Facebook or Instagram. Or you can set up a quote through our website!
@@CoverYourPergola Hello, I am in Miami too. Just bought a 10x14 pergola, we need to put it together and install the cover also, can you please send me a quote
@@juanfr818 Sure can! Please send me a DM on Instagram or Facebook! And I can help!
How is this for Snow loads?
I want to know too!
Cost?
Ballpark cost for material AND shipping for the Apollo system is $7.50-$8.50 per sf, and the Hercules system is $12.50-$13.50 per sf.
Thank you
Hello where did you get your 4 x 16 panels from? I can only find 2 x 8 panels at Home Depot and my patio requires at least 10 feet in length.
We make them! We custom-make each size panel needed for your pergola. Plus our covers are 100% better than anything Home Depot may have. Dm me on Instagram or Facebook and I will answer any and all questions and even help get you started with a quote!
@@CoverYourPergolado you guys come to md
Where are you located?
We are located in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Oklahoma City, and Miami but we provide nationwide shipping!
What about mildew and mold buildup these clear roofs always last about 1-2 years before they look like bad
Which roof is better??
That is what the solid tape on the top flutes and breather tape on the bottom flutes and then U trim on both is meant to prevent. If you skip the tape, you let water get into the flutes and then you get mildew and potentially mold.
Silicone
Improve your audio for dialogue and lose the pesky music.
Sooo on the other side where there is no gutter... the wood just gets wet?? You started with the roof one or two centimeters from the begining of the beam... why the fuck would you do that?
Really annoying music coming off and on, had to stop watching
I bet its going to deteriorate in the sun after 3-5 years. I would have used tempered glass.
If installed with the UV protected layer facing up (as they specified in the video) then it is good for at least 10 years, as the warranty implies. Tempered glass is far heavier and not as impact resistant. You also need the tempered glass to be made at the exact size you need because a DIY'er cannot cut tempered glass. The poly roof is a DIY project that would cost about $800 for this pergola roof. The same thing in tempered glass would probably be over $5,000 depending on the contractor that does the work.
sound sucks
