Iv had it now for over 6 months. It’s great besides it settled in the middle a little and the water overflows when it rains.

We just got it put together and it is perfect. Excellent quality!! We looked at several brands and decided on this one.

I bought this to replace my gazebo that was destroyed by the hurricane. It is very nice and the louvers are cool. One word of caution during assembly: make sure you get the long beams set the right way. The instructions aren’t clear on that and we had to remove all the louvers and flip the beams over.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I have been searching for the perfect pergola for our backyard and patio to place over our new outdoor furniture to make our backyard more inviting and complete as we love entertaining. We looked for a few key things including; quality, functionality and durability. Assembly and Quality: This pergola is solid and has required very minimal upkeep. The set up took some time, but it was to be expected. With clear instructions and helpful customer service it will get put together in no time and well worth it in the end. Functionality: The adjustable louvres are amazing, if you want to let in the sunlight or you want some shade, or if you want to still be outside and it’s raining, just open or close the louvres and you have your perfect setup. This pergola also has a built-in drainage system. I would absolutely recommend this pergola to a friend and can't wait for summer to start!

Great functionality vs standard non-louvered pergola. This makes a 95 degree day in Kentucky feel very comfortable. Setup was easy. Two people spent one full day installing. We were missing one small piece, which was rushed out to us with no questions asked. It has also shown great wind resistance, which is a must where I live. Aluminum frames just don't hold up like steel. The only reason I cannot give 5 stars is because you cannot hang things, like a chair, hammock, etc from the frame, despite it being steel. I would also like it if BD made add-ons, like curtains for privacy and shade when the sun is at a low angle. Overall, I do love having this pergola.

We bought two of these and absolutely love how they look in our yard, and enjoy being able to open or close the louvers as desired. All parts arrived in excellent shape, and our contractor did not have any problems with the assembly (we're not the DIY types). The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that the built-in rain gutters are very shallow, and woefully inadequate during anything other than a very light rain. If it's really raining, the water either drips or pours down from the inside edge of the horizontal supports at the top of the pergola.

I like the pergola itself because there is one major issue - no option to add patio shades! , Due to the direction of the sun, we can not use the pergola passed 3PM which is a big bummer. Patio shades would have been a solution but Backcountry doesnt have any for their pergola.

Bought this a couple of weeks ago. Installed it in about 6 hours today. I was wondering how smooth it would operate the louvers, but I am very pleased with it. It's only been a day, but so far I absolutely love it. Well designed. Fairly simple to install, needed 3 guys but mostly just to set the beams upright. Other than that really could do it yourself, but probably best to have 2.

I bought the Sarasota Louvered Pergola 2 weeks ago and I love it. The louvered is adjustable it opens all the way or you can close it all the way if it’s raining, what a genius idea. I love the no maintenance with the galvanized steel and its sleek stylish black color. The instructions made it easy to install and came with all the anchoring plates and a 5 year warranty. I think I might buy one for my mom for Mother’s Day.

I am in love with my new pergola. It has brought our backyard to a new level! The louvers allow us to get some shade on hotter days, and allow us to let the sun shine in when its a bit chilly, allowing us to utilize our outdoor space more often. The outlets and usb ports have really come in handy when we have company. Friends can charge their phones and it allows us to easily plug in a speaker when needed. Our old pergola did not have gutters when caused it to be unusable if there was rain as you would get splashed when sitting underneath. It is like we have another room in our house!
