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.

Delivered May 12 all parts included and no damage. 4 heavy duty boxes. Took 2 of us a total of 22 hours. Got the beams up first day and finished the rest the next day. We took our time and used the manual as well as the BLIT app. The directions are very good. I attached to my deck and used a couple of 2 by 10 between and attached to my jost. Then used 5 inch 3/8 bolts to fasten it. It's not going to go anywhere. Really love how everything turned out and this is one solid structure, well built and produced. From start to finish it's a 10. Now looking forward to using it and having a few friends over for food and drinks. If you're looking for the perfect Pergola this is it, don't hesitate.

Product is quality....all pieces came wrapped in plastic and are flawless in finish....4 boxes. 1 & 2 are the structure and 3 & 4 are the slats....hardware is blister wrapped with easy identifiers and plenty of extra pieces of each and several drive bits included...direction book was awesome, with detailed drawings and clear instructions, every step was detailed.....I constructed 90% of it myself with just some additional help to stand it up and add the 2 end pieces, once up, 1 person can complete adding the slat top....took me about 4 hours to construct the structure and about another 4 hours today to add the slats, and works as advertised with smooth rotation of the slats from full open to full closed....another nice feature is all the screw in hardware has a drop of loctite added....I still need to move to its final location and use the included concrete anchors to attach to my patio....I have to give this product a ten...I did not have ANY connections that did not line up perfectly, and it zipped right together.

We have intense sun on our deck in the summer. We purchased this pergola for the deck and had I think it will be very effective in the summer. One of the factors in choosing this particular model was its strength and ability to withstand high winds which we get occasionally. I do wish there were options for side curtains to block the sun in the late afternoon. We found the installation to be a bit more complicated and hired someone to finish the frame and secure the pergola to the deck and install the louvers.

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!

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!

This was definitely not a single person project, needed about 3-4 people to help build this pergola. We were able to complete the build in 1 days and it turned out great! We look how it came out and it does feel like it’s last strong winds (main reason we purchased it)

What a great Pergola! It went together much faster than I expected and looks great. The only issue with installation we had was attaching the metal plates to the 32 louvers, not sure why they don't ship them already attached. The Louvered roof is awesome and water tight. I am so glad we bought this structure.

I bought 10x18 louvered pergola purposely to fit our deck. It looks great but the 18 foot length is probably a bit to long for the way it is made. It does dip in the middle of the gutter and the water flows out of the gutter onto the deck and now TV. I have tried to put shims under one side pillar to help the flow of water but the middle still leaks. How can I address this issue?

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.
