ShadeFlex Classic Retractable Canopy
Our notes
Rather than a full pergola, ShadeFlex sells a retractable canopy meant to "attach from beam to beam or building to beam" on a structure you already have. Each canopy is 60 in wide, one of 3 pergola products in our list at that width, but can run up to 24 ft long. It is manual, moved with a 60 in wand. On wind, ShadeFlex says its "Windlock hardware allows the canopies to quickly release in strong winds." No price was posted on November 1, 2026.

Copied exactly from the seller's page, read 2026-11-01. Sellers don't test wind the same way, so this can't be compared with another seller's figure. More on wind wording.
How it mounts depends on your wall, fascia or beam. Confirm it with the maker or a licensed installer.
