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.

When we started seeing pergolas set up in stores and some friends and family that had them, we wanted that look for our backyard. We wanted quality and durability and we definitely have that in choosing the Sarasota 14x10 Louvered Steel pergola from Backyard Discovery. This pergola is amazing!  We love the look, quality, durability, louvers and gutter drainage. With time and patience, the set up was easy if you follow the step by step instructions.  I would absolutely recommend this pergola. Looking forward to enjoying our new pergola this summer!

After a lot of research I decided to purchase the Sarasota. Everything else appeared to be mainly aluminum, i heard steel was better a the quality shows. I didn’t want to deal with staining wood or maintenance either. You won’t be disappointed, assembly is at a great price too, a big reason why I went with BYD!

We have had our 14 x 10 Sarasota Pergola for almost a year now. It's been through rain, 80 mph windstorms, and a lot of sunshine, and we have been thrilled. If I could do it over again, I would have hired professional installers. Getting it put together is a two-man job, but securing it to the patio is a job for professionals, or people who really know their construction. I appreciated the clear marking of all the parts - that made assembly easier. the 14 x 10 size is ample for a 10 foot table. But most of all, it's a wonderful addition to our yard, and we love it.

We purchased the Sarasota Pergola 14x10 and also purchased the installation as well. The pergola is amazing! Looks great. High quality steel, Looks incredible in our yard. The installation team that came out were great .. Very professional and seamlessly installed the pergola in just a few hours. Highly recommended

I looked for a long time before deciding on this product. The price was good and it didn't disappoint. We hired a handyman service to assemble and bolt to our deck. It's a sleek design, and we love that it has the drainage system and the option to have the slats open or closed. Provides great shade and even allows my husband to grill when it's raining! They're very sturdy. We get strong winds where we live and we've had no issues with the structural integrity. We liked this so much that we bought a second one for the other part of our deck. I highly recommend.

So happy invested in the Sarasota Took two of us do, just follow the instructions take your time. We enjoy the space that literally transforms our hot sun beaten area to a comfortable outdoor living environment. Game Changer for us I would totally recommend.

Team was very personable and helpful getting the item to me, good communication. My husband and I put this together ourselves (would recommend more people) but it was manageable! It is gorgeous. Quality. Makes my backyard feel cozy like a home, not just a slab of concrete. My dogs love it. I love opening/closing for sun/shade. Every one who comes over asks for a link so they can get one.

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.

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!
