Pergola planner FAQ
- What is a pergola planner?
- A pergola planner is software that lets you lay out a pergola — size, post positions, roof type, motorisation, lighting, screens — in real-time 3D, with the right engineering constraints (max spans, beam loads, blade orientation) applied automatically. Configurix is a pergola planner built for installers, dealers and end-customers who want a buildable design, not a sketch.
- Is there a free online pergola planner?
- Free pergola planners exist for hobby use, but they don't enforce engineering rules, don't price the pergola, and don't produce a quote you can sell from. Configurix offers a free trial of the full pergola planner software so you can design, price and quote in one tool.
- Can a pergola planner generate a materials list?
- Yes. Configurix automatically generates a bill of materials and a pergola materials calculator output from the 3D plan — posts, beams, blades, motors, LED, screens, fasteners — so your purchasing and installation team work from the same numbers as the quote.
- Which pergola types does the planner support?
- Bioclimatic louvre-roof pergolas, free-standing and wall-attached models, cantilever, sliding-glass and retractable-fabric pergolas — all with motorisation, LED lighting, sliding screens and weather sensors.
- Can homeowners use the pergola planner themselves?
- Yes. Embed the planner on your website and homeowners self-design a pergola; each completed design lands in your CRM as a qualified lead with model, dimensions, options and target price.
