Azenco K-BANA Platform Edition 12×12 — Manual Louvered Aluminum Pergola with Built-In Floor
The K-BANA Platform Edition 12×12 combines 144 square feet of adjustable cover with its own built-in floor, making it a complete standalone structure rather than a roof that needs a finished surface underneath. You can site it on lawn, gravel, or unfinished ground without first pouring a slab or building a deck — the platform is the deck. It's the largest standalone K-BANA configuration, with room for a full dining setting or a lounge arrangement.
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 12×12 right for you?
This is the largest standalone K-BANA — 144 sq ft of adjustable cover with a built-in floor, so it doesn't need an existing patio or deck underneath. If your site is lawn, gravel, or bare ground and you need room for a full dining or lounge setting, this is the configuration.
Buy the Platform Edition 12×12 if:
- You don't have a finished patio, deck, or slab to build on
- You need to cover a dining table or a full lounge arrangement
- You'd rather not pour concrete or build a deck first
Consider another model if:
- You already have a finished surface — the Anchored Edition 12×12 mounts onto it directly for a flush, built-in look
- Your space is tighter — see the Platform Edition 10×10
- 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.
How much space does 12 × 12 actually cover?
144 square feet, which comfortably takes a dining table with seating or a lounge arrangement. If you're covering a compact seating area instead, the 10 × 10 may suit the space better.
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.
