The owner's insights on the Kustom M6
The Kustom M6 is the only pergola in the range with LED lighting built into every louvre, not bolted on underneath. The warm white LEDs run inside each louvre profile, hidden by day and casting an even glow once the sun's down. It's also the widest size range Kustom offers: seven options from 3x3m up to 4x6m, including a 4x5m that's exclusive to the M6.
We fit these into architect-designed homes that want a genuine outdoor room without committing to a solid roof, and onto coastal and poolside terraces where sun, rain and salt all need managing through the same afternoon. A remote opens, angles or closes the louvres in seconds, so you're adjusting the roof rather than replacing an awning or shade sail that's on its way out.
If your site copes badly with sudden weather changes and you'd rather the roof close itself before the rain reaches the table, the V Pro's wind and rain sensors are the better fit. If you'd rather skip the motor and wiring altogether, the Mosa's hand-cranked louvres need no power at all.
Every M6 is a two-person install, typically 4 to 6 hours, freestanding on four posts or wall mounted on two with the wall plate included. Because the louvre motor and integrated LED lighting both need power, get mains access to the site sorted before the crew arrives. Allow 60 to 70 days from order, with free delivery across mainland Australia and no forklift required.
Why you'll love the Kustom M6
Open sky on demand
A remote opens, angles or closes the louvres in seconds, from full sun and airflow to a sealed roof.
Light built into every louvre
Warm white LEDs run inside the louvre profiles, hidden by day and casting an even glow at night.
Sealed roof, no soft-top failures
Gaskets seal the closed roof and rainwater drains through internal gutters, with no fabric to perish.
Motorised louvres, 0 to 135 degrees
The motor sits concealed in the beam and runs quietly, driving the louvres to any angle and stopping there.
Accessory-ready rail
The frame accepts Kustom Screens, the Kustom Heater, RGB Gutter Lights and glass walls, ordered upfront or added later.
Eight-year powder coat warranty
Grey reads as deep graphite, White as a true architectural white, both backed for eight years on the coat and ten on the structure.
Why you should consider a Kustom Pergola
Kustom Pergolas builds the M6 in Melbourne and backs the aluminium structure for ten years, in Grey or White, freestanding or wall mounted, with free delivery across mainland Australia and no forklift required. Buy yours through My Acre and we'll beat any genuine like-for-like price you find elsewhere. If a warranty question ever comes up, you're calling us directly, not an overseas call centre.

What's included
Every Kustom M6 arrives ready for a two-person install:
- Kustom M6 frame, posts and louvre roof in the chosen size and finish
- Electric louvre motor, pre-installed in the beam
- Integrated warm white LED lighting in the louvres
- Remote control handset
- Internal gutter and column drainage
- Wall plate (Wall Mount only)
- Fixings, gaskets and installation manual
Fitting the Kustom M6 in
Plan on a two-person crew and 4 to 6 hours on site. Freestanding orders sit on four posts; Wall Mount orders fix to two posts plus the included wall plate. The louvre motor and integrated LED lighting both draw power, so have mains access at the fitting point before installation day. Delivery is free across mainland Australia with no forklift required, and runs 60 to 70 days from order, so factor that into any renovation timeline.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Kustom M6 waterproof when the louvres are closed?
Yes. Gaskets on each louvre form a continuous seal when the roof closes, and water drains through internal gutters and the hollow columns. The roof is rated 100% waterproof.
What is the difference between the M6 and the V Pro?
The M6 offers an eight-year powder coat warranty and a seventh size, 4x5m. The V Pro adds double-blade louvres and automatic wind and rain sensors. Both share the ten-year structural warranty and accessory range.
How are the louvres adjusted?
By remote. A single handset opens, closes and angles the louvres from 0 to 135 degrees, and also controls the RGB Gutter Lights and Kustom Screens accessories.
What size suits a typical alfresco zone?
A 3x4m or 4x4m covers a six to eight seat dining setting; a 4x5m or 4x6m separates a lounge and dining zone. Send your dimensions and the team will mark up the footprint.
Does the M6 need council approval?
It depends on your council, the size, and whether it attaches to the house. Freestanding pergolas under certain footprints are often exempt; larger or attached builds may need a certificate or DA. Check with your local council before ordering.
Can lighting, screens or a heater be added later?
Yes. RGB Gutter Lights, Kustom Screens, the Kustom Heater and glass walls all retrofit. Ordering upfront avoids briefly opening the gutter to fit the LED strip.
