The owner's insights on the Kustom V Pro
The Kustom V Pro is the weather-reactive model in the range. Built-in wind and rain sensors close the roof automatically as conditions change, and one-key retraction moves the whole roof, open, angled or closed, from a single press. The double-blade, twin-skin louvre profile traps an air gap that cuts heat in direct sun and dulls the drum of heavy rain on the closed roof.
We fit these onto poolside and coastal terraces that see fast-changing weather, and into homes running the alfresco zone daily, for dining, hosting or working from home, where nobody wants to leave the table to close a roof by hand.
If integrated LED lighting matters more to you than weather sensors, the M6 carries warm white LEDs in every louvre and also runs a longer eight-year powder coat warranty against the V Pro's five. If you'd rather skip the motor and wiring altogether, the Mosa opens and closes on a hand crank with nothing to draw power once it's installed.
Every V Pro 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 weather sensors 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 V Pro
Senses the weather before you do
Wind and rain sensors close the louvres automatically at the first gust or drop, so there's no need to leave the table.
One-key retraction
Open, angle or close the roof with a single press. A manual override resets it to closed during a power cut.
Double-blade, quieter shade
The twin-skin louvre profile traps an air gap that cuts summer heat and softens the sound of rain on the closed roof.
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.
Six sizes, free standing or wall mounted
Order from 3x3m to 4x6m, freestanding on four posts or wall mounted on two, with the wall plate included.
Ready for the Kustom accessory range
Kustom Screens, the Kustom Heater, RGB Gutter Lights and glass walls all pair with the frame, ordered upfront or fitted later.
Why you should consider a Kustom Pergola
Kustom Pergolas builds the V Pro 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 V Pro arrives ready for a two-person install:

- Electric louvre motor with one-key retraction, pre-installed
- Integrated wind and rain sensors
- Remote control handset
- Internal gutter and column drainage

Fitting the Kustom V Pro 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 the wind and rain sensors 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
How do the wind and rain sensors work?
The rain sensor closes the louvres to the waterproof position and the wind sensor opens the roof in high gusts to reduce load. Both run automatically, with manual override from the remote.
What is the difference between the V Pro and the Kustom M6?
The V Pro adds double-blade louvres and wind and rain sensors. The M6 has an eight-year powder coat warranty against the V Pro's five, and a seventh size (4x5m). Both share the ten-year structural warranty and accessory range.
Is the V Pro 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 size suits a typical alfresco zone?
A 3x4m or 4x4m covers a six to eight seat dining setting; a 3x6m or 4x6m separates a lounge and dining zone. Send your dimensions and the team will mark up the footprint.
Does the V Pro 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.
