StruXure

Pergola X

The only louvered pergola line in this record carrying an ICC-ES evaluation report. Where a plan reviewer wants third-party evidence rather than a marketing figure, this is the strongest document in the category.

Where it may not suitDealer channel only, so the installed result depends on the local dealer. And the load figures on this record are still the maker's account of its own report rather than the report's own tables.

Quoted by StruXure for its Pivot 6 louvers. The louver position for the rating is not stated, and it matters — open louvers behave as a sail.
Independent validation ESR-5321P exists and covers this system, but we have not read the load tables in the report itself. The figure here is the maker's account of its own report.

What the document establishesThat ICC-ES evaluated this system against IBC requirements, under the conditions of use the report sets out, and that the report governs where it conflicts with the accompanying plans.

What a jurisdiction may requireWhether a report of this kind removes the need for separately stamped drawings is decided by the authority having jurisdiction, and varies. The report is evidence a reviewer may accept; it is not a permit and it does not bind any building department.

Note on this recordThe report covers Pergola X freestanding and attached patio covers and commercial roof structures. The plans must form part of the construction documents submitted to the code official.

What to ask forSection 7.2 requires a permanent decal or tag on the structure stating allowable roof live/snow load, design wind speed and exposure, and manufacturer. Ask to see it before the dealer leaves, and check it against the quote.
