Member's Mark 12' x 16' Galvanized Steel Pergola White

Great Pergola, and a great value for the price. Very solid components, well-packaged and delivered. You should note that it comes in two boxes, each of which is over 200 lbs, so you should be prepared ahead of time in terms of where the delivery folks will place it, and what you will do with it at that point. The boxes can be moved with a decent hand-truck. Or, you can open them up and take the individual components out for storage in a garage, etc. until you're ready to assemble your Pergola. There are A LOT of individual parts. It all goes together well, the instructions are good, and the BILT app is helpful, but only when used in concert with the instructions. The only negative to the entire thing is that the estimate of 1.5 hours to assemble is preposterous! There are exactly 169 individual fasteners to install, and each of the support pieces the make up this structure are comprised of 2-3 individual pieces, so even at a mere 1-minute each to place the parts together, and 1-minute to line-up the fastener and tighten it into place, that comes out to 5.6 hours. Add to that having to keep moving the ladder and so forth, plus the time to simply lay-out and identify all of the different parts, and you have the 8-hours that it took us to install this. So I'd plan on that. You can do it with 2 people except for standing up the 2 ends and getting the cross-beams attached to them. So the 3rd person is really only needed for that aspect, FYI. So other than it indeed taking a full day to install, it all went together well, and smoothly, and we couldn't be more pleased with the structure. The textilene roof panels are really well-made and the whole thing is very nice quality - not cheap or flimsy at all. I highly recommend this unit - just plan for a full-day to set it up. And having two ladders (like we did) is a help.

This is a WELL made pergola. It's structurally solid, strong all around. And the canopies across the top are fabulous. There are 3 if them. There's a very sturdy, made of fabric handle you use to pull the canopies open or closed. One end is bolted to frame the other end (when closed) stays closed because of a strong magnet. It seems they've thought of everything. We love, love, love it.
