I Installed a Motorized Louvered Pergola — Was It Worth It? (RELAXURE Review)

Описание: This RELAXURE motorized louvered pergola was gifted to me, and after installing it on our deck, I’m genuinely impressed with the quality, engineering, and overall design.

In this video, I walk through the full unboxing, installation process, and real-world use of the RELAXURE 10’ x 12’ pergola — including what it was like assembling most of it solo, where I needed help, and what surprised me most during the build.

What stood out during the install:

Heavy-duty construction that feels like powder-coated steel

Excellent packaging (every piece wrapped and protected)

All hardware organized in canvas bags

Tools included (Allen keys, rubber mallets, and a premium remote)

Integrated rain gutters that channel water through the posts

Clean clip-on covers protecting the motor, wiring, and LEDs

Simple power setup — everything runs from one standard outlet

Once installed, this pergola completely changed how we use our deck. The motorized louvers let us control sun and shade throughout the day, and the built-in LED lighting makes the space usable at night. It truly feels like an extension of our house now.

At around $5,000, this isn’t a budget purchase — but in my opinion, it’s absolutely worth it for the quality, functionality, and year-round usability it adds to our outdoor space.

📦 Disclosure: This pergola was provided to me by RELAXURE. All opinions are my own, and this video reflects my honest experience installing and using the product.

If you’re considering a motorized pergola and want to see what a real DIY install looks like — including mistakes, time investment, and finished results — I hope this video helps.
