We do water intrusion simulations at the factory to confirm that, when louvers are closed, water goes into the channels and out through the posts. If a local installer misaligns the structure or blocks drainage, the client will say your pergola leaks. That\u2019s not acceptable. This is why we require U.S. distributors to have trained install teams and to follow our installation standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #fef5e7; border-left: 5px solid #e67e22; padding: 20px; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; margin-bottom: 15px;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; color: #d35400; margin: 0 0 10px 0;\">3.3 Packaging &amp; Transit Damage<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6; color: #555; margin: 0;\">We design multi-layer packaging for international shipping.

They liked the system, showed it to their neighbors, and after the neighbors tried it a few times, they all agreed that having an aluminum pergola at home would be more suitable for family gatherings. This client then recommended three other clients to us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.7; color: #555; margin: 0 0 15px 0;\">Perhaps seeing a business opportunity, this client asked if we were interested in developing a distributor network. Our team considered his suggestion and thought it was good. Later, we discussed the pergola&#8217;s showroom requirements, installation team requirements, and initial inventory requirements, and he quickly agreed. Therefore, we assigned this client our Seattle distributorship.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.7; color: #555; margin: 0 0 25px 0;\">Once they had a working demo, and once we started routing inquiries from their metro, they stabilized at 10\u201315 pergola systems per month.<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"background-color: #f2f8f4; border-left: 5px solid #27ae60; padding: 20px; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6; color: #555; margin: 0 0 15px 0;\">They didn&#8217;t get there by listing a SKU in an online shop.
