Azenco K-BANA Platform Edition 10×10 — Manual Louvered Aluminum Pergola with Built-In Floor
The K-BANA Platform Edition includes its own built-in floor, which makes it a complete standalone structure rather than a roof that needs a finished surface underneath. You can place it on lawn, gravel, or unfinished ground without first pouring a slab or building a deck — the platform is the deck. That's the practical difference from the Anchored Edition, and it's usually what decides between them.
A hand crank tilts the dual-zone aluminum louvers from wide open to fully closed, giving you control of sun, shade, and airflow across two sections independently. There is no wiring, no motor, and no electronics — nothing to power and no electrician needed. An integrated gutter system channels rainwater away through the frame, and the 6063-T6 extruded aluminum structure with AAMA 2604 powder coating is rated for winds up to 105 mph and snow loads up to 25 lbs per square foot. The K-BANA is modular, so units can be combined side by side or back to back if you expand the space later.

Is the K-BANA Platform Edition 10×10 right for you?
The Platform Edition includes a built-in floor, so it doesn't need an existing patio or deck underneath it. If the spot you have in mind is lawn, gravel, or bare ground, this is the version that works without groundwork first.
Buy the Platform Edition 10×10 if:
- You don't have a finished patio, deck, or slab to build on
- You want a complete standalone structure that can be sited anywhere in the yard
- You'd rather not pour concrete or build a deck first
Consider another model if:
- You already have a finished surface — the Anchored Edition 10×10 mounts onto it directly for a flush, built-in look
- You need more covered area — see the Platform Edition 12×12
- You want motorized louvers and a higher weather rating — the Sundance Motorized Louvered Pergola is rated to 150 mph wind and 60 lbs/sq ft snow

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the Platform and Anchored editions?
The Platform Edition includes its own built-in floor, so it's a complete standalone structure that can be placed on ground that isn't already finished. The Anchored Edition has no floor — it mounts onto a surface you already have, such as a patio, deck, or slab, for a flush built-in look. Choose Platform if your site isn't finished; choose Anchored if it is.
Do I need to pour a slab or build a deck first?
No — that's the point of this edition. The built-in floor means it can be sited on lawn, gravel, or unfinished ground without a slab or deck underneath. The ground should still be level and stable, so call us if you're unsure about your site.
Do the louvers need electricity?
No. The K-BANA uses a hand crank to tilt the louvers, with no motor, wiring, or electronics. That means no electrical work at installation and nothing electronic to service later.
What weather can it handle?
The structure is rated for winds up to 105 mph and snow loads up to 25 lbs per square foot. With the louvers closed, the integrated gutter system channels rainwater away to keep the area below dry.
Can I combine multiple units?
Yes — the K-BANA is modular, so units can be combined side by side or back to back to cover a larger area or create a custom layout. Call us before ordering if you're planning a multi-unit configuration so we can spec it correctly.
Does it include lighting, heating, or privacy walls?
Built-in lighting and heaters are not included. Side wall panels are available as an option and add enclosure and privacy without making the space permanently closed in. Wall colors are offered in black and gray.
