This pergola is perfect for our small patio. We added a metal roof for extra rain protection and used the canopy as a privacy screen on one side. Love it.
This pergola looks beautiful in our yard and just what we needed over our spa! I love the option that allows us to open or close the panels! It took my husband and I about 5 hours to assemble; the instructions are OK, but could use written verbiage on some of the steps. It’s important to lay out all the pieces before you begin assembling. When completely assembled, this pergola is very sturdy and well made.
It took about 3 hours for two of us to put up this pergola. It was fairly simple to do. I love how it looks and the shade it provides on my deck is amazing. I spend a lot more time on my deck now, and enjoy being out there in the shade. It comes with the canopy, however I get a lot of sun coming from the west in the afternoon, so I added a curtain to block the sun.
