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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A friend recently purchased this pergola and it checks all of the boxes that I was needing for my outdoor space! I love the ability to adjust the louvers for shade or sun and the gutters ensure that my furniture stays clean and dry. I will be purchasing soon!

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.

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.

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!

I've had decent luck with BYD products in the past, but not this time around. The included bolts are very low quality, and break easily. Also, 3 out of 4 posts had a visible twist. Also some of the pieces could have been attached, saving assembly time for the customer.

My patio desperately needed some shade and though I love pergolas, I didn’t feel that the traditional wooden pergola would work in my space. And temperature extremes plus wood leads to expensive replacements. This pergola is the perfect solution. Love the look. Structure is heavy duty. I added curtains and cafe lights. Couldn’t be happier.

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)

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 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?
