AZ Shady Oasis

20 x 10 Set up ready to use, love this product. All parts numbered and screws identified. Needed more people than two or three and took us two days to complete. Love the looks and value for my money.

Really good!

I bought 2 of the 10x12 louvered pergolas for our back yard and finished assembly yesterday. 1. Everything was there and nothing was damaged. They included assembly tools! 2. The quality of the components was very good. The powder coating was excellent! 3. The instructions are thorough, in good English and easy to follow. 4. The build is possible with one person, but so much easier with 2. 5. The pergolas are sturdy after assembly, and I have no worries about wind damage. 6. I wanted stronger cement anchors than the ones supplied, so I used 3/8" wedge anchors. This is a very well-engineered kit! I was really impressed with the stainless hardware, thoughtfully written assembly instructions and overall quality of materials.

Love the Sarasota Steel Louvered Pergola

We absolutely love our Sarasota pergola! The sleek black steel design looks amazing in our backyard and really elevates the whole space. The adjustable louvers are a game-changer — whether it’s full sun, partial shade, or closing them up during a rain shower, we can control it with ease. It feels extremely sturdy, and we’ve already hosted family cookouts and gatherings under it with plenty of space. Assembly took some time but was very straightforward with clear instructions. If you want a modern, durable pergola that doubles as both shade and shelter, this one is worth every penny.

Great Product, Outstanding Support

I recently purchased the 10x20 Sarasota Pergola and I'm very happy with the product. Assembly wasn’t overly difficult, but the instructions need improvement. It's surprisingly easy to install a piece incorrectly, and if you do, it may require a lot of disassembly correct it. One key tip: install the crank mechanism when you start the louver installation, not at the end as the manual suggests. Trust me, doing it early will save you a major headache. Despite the issue I ran into, I was blown away by the customer service. The support team responded quickly and thoroughly—without question, the best customer service I’ve ever experienced with any purchase. Now that it's fully assembled, the pergola looks fantastic. Thanks to the great follow-up and support, I will absolutely recommend both the product and the company. Just please update the instructions to make the assembly process smoother!

Install question

Looks like something I would love to have. Can u combine two 10x18s by using middle supports from a 10x20? Would love to not have too many supports. Thx.

Our original designs are the only configurations that have passed the ASTM (American Society for <br />Testing and Materials) for safety. For this reason, we do not authorize alterations to our products, as <br />safety is always our #1 concern.

Highly recommend (would purchase again)

The 20x10 Sarasota Steel Louvered Pergola has been an outstanding addition to our backyard. Solid, sturdy, and sleek in appearance, it came with exceptionally detailed instructions and a helpful video that made assembly far easier. Yes, there are plenty of steps (and parts), but don’t let that intimidate you—everything is clearly labeled, and the directions are thoughtfully laid out. We’d absolutely purchase it again. Highly recommend.

Easy set up!

The set up was easy, just took a few hours. Make sure to wear gloves if you're setting this up in the sun - the Metal gets HOTT! You'll need at least two persons, maybe a third to be the runner for you while installing the long slats. We've had so many compliments on this, it's a nice pergola!

High quality, looks great and, easy to assemble

Bought and installed May of 2025. Took me and a buddy about 3.5 hours to fully assemble. We noted that some paint had been damaged during transport, but otherwise all parts, hardware, and assembly tools were there. Given all the rain we've been having, it was perfect weather to put the folding louvers to the test - needless to say, we grilled and chilled uninterrupted by mother nature. My only concern is the linkage for opening and close the louvers; but time will tell if it holds up.

Sarasota 10 X12

Beautiful. My friends put this together with no problem. There were no screws included to secure the pergola but otherwise they put it with no problem. Virtual customer was great. They were very patient while I asked various questions to make sure this was a good fit for us prior to purchase
