Transform your outdoor space into a premium, year-round setting with a louvered pergola from Knutsen Outdoor — perfect for wedding venues, restaurants, and event sites who want style, flexibility, and functionality.

Here’s why these pergolas stand out:

1. Dynamic Louvered Roof System
The adjustable louvers let you dial in your ambience: open to soak up natural sunlight; close for complete shade or protection from rain. That built-in gutter system means your outdoor gatherings stay comfortable—even during unexpected showers.

2. Integrated LED & Lighting Flexibility
Built-in lighting options give you total control over atmosphere: integrated LEDs, RGB color capability, post lights, recessed lighting—all designed to elevate the mood and match your venue’s theme.

3. Elegant Powder-Coated Finishes
Choose from classic colors or designer‐inspired tones to align the structure with your brand or venue aesthetic. This ensures each pergola isn’t just functional—it’s an architectural feature.

4. Smart App & Remote Control
Every element—louvers, LED lighting, optional fixtures—can be controlled via a mobile app or handheld remote. For venues managing one space across many events, this level of automation brings convenience and consistency.

5. Comfort Enhancements: Heaters, Fans, Screens
Extend your event hours into cooler evenings with an integrated heater, or add designer fans to keep guests comfortable in warmer months. Motorized screens ­— great for privacy, pest protection or branding opportunities — are also available.

In summary, if your venue is looking for an outdoor structure that combines versatility, style and technological control—this louvered pergola system checks every box. It offers more than shade—it offers a year-round, tailored event experience.

Imagine lounging on your patio, the sun dipping low, a soft breeze whispering through the trees—and you effortlessly press a button to lower sleek, motorized-screens. With the right system, your outdoor area becomes an all-weather, bug-free oasis.

At Fenetex (installed locally by Knutsen Outdoor), these motorized screens are built to elevate your outdoor living. They can block up to 97% of sunlight, helping tame glare and unwanted heat. They’re also designed to keep insects out—perfect for enjoying evenings without the “bug buzz.” They fit well on wood or vinyl structures, whether it’s a deck, pergola, or pavilion.

Why they make sense:

• Comfort year-round: Shade screens reduce intense sun, making the space cooler and more usable. Insect or vinyl screens help transform the space for evenings or cooler months.
• Better usability & value: For a restaurant, event venue or homeowner, enclosing the outdoor zone means more use—rain or shine—and more enjoyment.
• Sleek, integrated look: Fenetex designs the components and partners manufacture them, so the installation looks seamless and professional.

Tips for considering an install:

• Think about how you’ll use the space: daytime lounging? Evening entertaining? Dining outdoors? That drives screen type and fabric choice (shade vs insect vs clear vinyl).
• Factor in the structure: Do you already have a pergola, deck, pavilion or are you planning one? The screens work with standard wood or vinyl frames.
• Consider controls: Motorization means ease—think remote, wall switch, even automation based on sun or wind sensors.
• Ask about maintenance and warranty: Since the components are designed by the brand and installed by a local pro, make sure you understand upkeep and support.

If you’re ready to turn your porch, pergola or patio into a functional, comfortable outdoor room, these motorized screens are worth exploring.

When it comes to outdoor venues for weddings, restaurants, and event spaces, flexibility and ambiance are everything. Enter the motorized louvered pergolas from Knutsen Outdoor — a perfect blend of design sophistication and functional performance.

These pergolas boast smart-phone controlled louvers, letting you adjust sunlight, shade, and even rain protection at the tap of a button. For event venues, that means being ready for a sunny surprise or an unexpected drizzle without a hitch.

Why they stand out:

• Weather-proof and engineered for extremes: The “Solace” line spans up to 15’6″ in width, delivers high snow load and wind-resistance performance.
• Versatile louvered systems: Whether you choose interlocking louvers, standard 8″ louvers, or a pitched “SkyPeak” style, each adapts to your space and style.
• Customization galore: LED lighting (even RGB), motorized screens, designer fans, post wraps, and finishes help integrate the pergola into your brand or aesthetic.

What this means for your venue:

• You can create all-weather outdoor envelopes, giving guests fresh air, comfort, and a premium feel.
• You get an elegant architectural element that doubles as event-space infrastructure — ideal for weddings, receptions, and outdoor dining.
• You’re investing in a long-term asset: strong structure + smart controls = fewer compromises for seasonal operations.

In short, if you’re looking to reinvent under-utilized patios, expand your outdoor footprint, or simply wow your clients with something both stylish and smarter than a standard canopy — these louvered pergolas deliver.

When the leaves start turning and temperatures soften, it’s the ideal moment to fully integrate a smart louvered pergola into your outdoor living—leveraging its versatility before winter truly sets in.

With fall’s variable weather, your motorized louvers give you total control: soak in warm sunlight during mild afternoons, or tilt them closed to create shelter during light rain. The gutter system ensures that even sudden autumn showers won’t ruin your plans, keeping the area below dry and usable.

During these cooler months, enhanced comforts become more meaningful. Integrated LED lighting and heaters—all controllable via app or remote—mean your pergola transforms into an inviting after-dinner nook, a book-reading haven, or a vibrant entertaining space as days get shorter.

Fall is the perfect time to experiment with motorized screens, too. They block glare or wind while keeping out bugs—a handy way to fine-tune your outdoor environment.

Moreover, fall installations allow you to savor your pergola fully through early winter and acclimate to any maintenance needs before harsher weather arrives. As trees shed leaves, you’ll also get to observe how built-in features like gutters and louvers handle debris—giving you time to address any adjustments before the freeze.

As autumn arrives, the shifting light, cooler temperatures, and relative lull in exterior projects make fall an ideal time to bring home a smart, motorized louvered pergola from Knutsen Outdoor. The Outdoor Elements systems are custom-designed using high-quality, durable American-sourced materials—think extruded aluminum, robust motors, and premium powder-coated finishes—ensuring exceptional fit, finish, and longevity compared to traditional wooden structures.

In fall, the ability to adjust louvers for desired light becomes especially valuable. Open them wide to let in golden sunshine on crisp afternoons, or close them to shield from sudden rain showers—a feature made seamless with smart app or remote control. The built-in gutter system keeps your space dry, even during unexpected autumn rain.

Moreover, installing in fall means you’re ready to host cozy gatherings under integrated LED lighting as evenings grow longer and days cooler You can even layer in heaters or fans for comfort as temperatures dip—effective fall also gives you time to assess and enjoy features like Fenetex motorized screens, which block up to 99% of harsh glare while keeping pests at bay.

Finally, fall avoids summer heat and wet spring or muddy-ground delays. Set up over fall, then enjoy your outdoor oasis through late-season gatherings and enter winter with a fully functional, beautiful structure.

Ensuring your smart louvered pergola weathers winter smoothly begins in fall. With a few strategic steps, you’ll protect your investment—and yourself—from cold-season surprises.

1. Test and Clean All Moving Parts
Before freezing temperatures, run through louver and screen operations. Make sure motors move smoothly and gutters are free of leaves—Knutsen Outdoor’s smart pergolas include built-in gutters that keep rain and debris at bay.

2. Remove Screens or Close Wisely
Motorized Fenetex screens are great for fall, but if winter brings heavy snow or ice, consider retracting them to reduce stress on the system or limit glare when closed.

3. Secure and Insulate Accessories
If you’ve added LED lights, heaters, or fans, ensure wiring is properly sealed and secured. Remove or cover heaters when not in use, and store remote controls in a dry place.

4. Use App Controls Smartly
Test your pergola’s app and remote control. Be sure you’re comfortable adjusting louvers and lighting—even from inside—to respond to sudden temperature drops or storms.

By using fall to prep, your smart pergola continue to function in all its tech-savvy glory—even under white-dusted branches.

Pergolas are no longer just for vineyards or resort patios—they’ve become one of the must-have features in celebrity outdoor design. From cozy courtyards to sweeping garden spaces, the pergola is redefining how luxurious, modern yards are styled.

As recently featured in Homes & Gardens, several celebrities have recently built stunning pergolas in their home’s garden retreat. The airy structure adds a romantic, old-world feel while defining space for gathering, entertaining, and enjoying privacy.

Here’s why pergolas are popping up in celebrity yards everywhere – and why you should consider the addition yourself:

• Instant architecture: They give structure and elegance to open yards
• Photo-worthy style: A pergola creates a gorgeous backdrop for parties and photos
• Private nooks: They’re perfect for separating quiet seating areas
• Shade + sun balance: You get light-filtering shade without losing the open-air feel
• Plant magic: Pergolas are ideal for vines, climbing roses, and fragrant flowering plants

Whether you’re hosting friends or simply enjoying morning coffee outdoors, a smart pergola from Knutsen Outdoor elevates your space without needing a full renovation. With endless customization options—materials, roof styles, lighting, and more—you can create something uniquely yours that rivals even the most luxurious Hollywood homes!

An Outdoor Elements pergola isn’t just trendy—it’s timeless, functional, and always in style. Ready to bring that chic, celebrity-inspired charm to your backyard? Let’s design it together!

Rain is one of the most overlooked elements in outdoor design—and one of the most destructive. Without smart water management, even a light summer storm can erode soil, drown your garden beds, and leave your once-lush lawn patchy and damaged.

That’s where a pergola from Knutsen Outdoor with a built-in gutter system from Outdoor Elements comes in.

Our smart pergolas can be designed with discreet, built-in gutters that direct rainwater away from your landscaping and home. Instead of water pouring off the roofline and creating muddy trenches or washing out mulch, it’s channeled strategically—just like your home’s roof gutters.

Here’s why that matters:

• Prevents water damage to plants, lawn, and soil
• Protects expensive hardscaping from erosion and staining
• Reduces the risk of pooling water near your foundation

Too often, homeowners install beautiful pergolas only to find that rainwater ruins the surrounding area. It’s an avoidable problem—if it’s planned for in the design process.

Working with the professionals at Knutsen Outdoor who think holistically about water flow, drainage, and long-term maintenance is the key. Pergolas are more than just aesthetic—they’re structural features that should support the health of your entire outdoor space.

Don’t let rain become the enemy of your yard. Choose a pergola system with smart, integrated watershed planning built right in.

When it comes to adding a pergola to your outdoor space, one of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is choosing poor quality materials. In fact, Homes & Gardens lists this as the number one pergola mistake people regret. And it makes sense—why invest in a structure that will crack, warp, or fade just a few seasons in?

High-quality materials like the aluminum in the Outdoor Elements pergolas from Knutsen Outdoor not only look better out of the gate—they last significantly longer. While low-cost options might seem like a good idea at first, the constant need for maintenance, repainting, or eventual replacement can quickly turn into a money pit.

Choosing durable, weather-resistant materials means:

• Lower maintenance costs year after year
• Better protection against rust, rot, and UV damage
• A pergola that retains its beauty and function long-term

More than just a visual feature, a well-built pergola is an investment in the value of your property. It enhances curb appeal, provides functional shade and structure, and creates a space that’s welcoming season after season. If you’re already designing your dream yard, don’t let inferior materials undercut your vision.

Work with the team at Knutsen Outdoor that sources the right materials for your climate, use, and aesthetic. When you build with quality in mind, you’re building something that lasts!
