Classy addition to backyard

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.

Ready for Summer!

Our family purchased this 14x10 after deciding the louvered feature would be perfect for the inconsistent weather Oregon can provide. Already we have seen it work wonders in diverting rain when closed and keeping my kids happy and dry while they do school work. Installation was easy enough and all items were in great condition. Thank you!

As good as it gets!!!

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.

Easy assembly and looks great!

I bought this Pergola approximately a month ago and last weekend assembled and put it up in a day and a half with a little bit of help when standing upright. Well made and easy to follow directions with assembly! Looks great and is a great addition to our backyard!

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

Love the design, but some flaws...

Am a former heavy truck/bus, now train mechanic, so I know my way around assembling stuff. This wasn't bad. However I did noticed several things, it's supposedly powder coated but I noticed a tiny paint chip on one of the pieces. Pretty insignificant, I just hoped it really is galvanized and doesn't rust on that spot. Additionally one of the shorter top beams had a bunch of dents in the middle. It's not too noticable ones the roof is closed, but when it's opened looks like Rocky Balboa used it for training. But the biggest gripe is the ceiling louvers. I put them all together exactly the same as far as end brackets, and placed into the slotted rails, and covered those slotted rails with the flat bar, and connected all the louvers with the straps with hitch pins, but underneath when it's closed, it's just not even. Some louvers dip down a bit, so while they appeared to be totally fine when unpacking, I'm not sure if they're slightly bowed? I can't really imagine what else would cause that. But I was really hoping it would be flat under the whole thing. Haven't had rain really yet since I assembled, so I'm hoping the rain truly does fall into the gutters & out and not through the questionable louvers because that would be a real shame... Maybe I'll call them and see what they think?

It's Perfect!

We just landscaped our backyard around the pool. Our landscape architect recommended the Sarasota 10x20 Pergola and after reading the reviews I was sold. I'm 71 years old and I built about 85% of it by myself. I needed help to stand it up and add two beams and two posts. I also had my partner hand me the louvers to avoid going up and down the latter so many times. I used the printed directions as well as the App instructions and it was a breeze to assemble. Every single part fit together perfectly! I highly recommend this pergola for its price, quality of material, beauty, and ease of assembly. You can't go wrong!!!

Gorgeous, quality!

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.

Great Pergola!

I bought this a month ago. Sturdy and I like the retractable feature. Steel and black adds to the concrete patio. I can have a good outdoor time without worrying the direct sun. I can have half sun and half shade! I can have a good time during rain without getting wet. Love the summer rain time. Kids love it. Highly recommended.
