Nice design

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.

My Pergola is Amazing

[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 features!

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!

Great for outdoor patio

[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!

Stylish and sturdy!

My search for a stylish and functional pergola is over. After purchasing and installing this pergola, I can confidently say it has transformed my backyard into a welcoming retreat. The construction of this pergola is impressive. Made from steel, it has a sturdy frame with powder-coated finish adding to its durability but also to its aesthetic appeal, seamlessly blending into my outdoor space. One of the standout features is its adjustable roof. This design allows me to control the amount of sunlight and shade that filters through, providing customizable comfort throughout the day. Assembly of the pergola was surprisingly straightforward, thanks to the detailed instructions provided. While it may require some time and effort, the end result was well worth it. I appreciated the pre-drilled holes and labeled parts, which streamlined the process and ensured a precise fit. Once assembled, the Sarasota pergola instantly elevated our backyard. Its sleek and modern design adds a touch of sophistication. In terms of functionality, the Sarasota pergola excels in providing both shelter and style. Additionally, the integrated gutter system efficiently manages rainwater runoff, ensuring a dry and comfortable space underneath. Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with the Sarasota Steel Pergola. Its combination of durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal make it a standout choice for anyone looking to enhance their outdoor living experience.

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!

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?

Great purchase!

It took three people around 4-5 hours to put up my pergola, which might have been quicker if not for the heat wave. The screws were securely packaged and the organization was impressive, with everything clearly labeled. When the louvers are fully open and the sun shines through, it feels cooler than sitting directly in the sun. It hasn’t rained yet to see how well the pergola stands up to other elements but I’m sure it will do well. After a week, I’m loving it. The only improvement would be offering accessories, like a curtain for one side or all sides to block more sun or a way to hang lights. Other than that, it’s a great purchase!

Perfect

I recently had a pergola and had it installed in my backyard, and I couldn't be happier with the results! The design is stunning, and it’s the perfect blend of style and functionality. It has transformed my outdoor space into a beautiful retreat, offering both shade and an open-air feel. The quality of the materials is top-notch, and the craftsmanship is exceptional. It was easy to maintain, and it holds up well against the elements. Whether for relaxing or entertaining guests, this pergola has made my backyard a place I truly enjoy spending time. Highly recommend!
