Strong gust of wind will close the louvers on mine.

The company has been very good to work with, we got a little messed up with our delivery. We are excited anot our Pargula but we can set it up because we’re waiting for someone to put ou slab..

Outstanding product. Easy to put together and sturdy. Just wished it was a bit wider. But overall extremely happy with our pergola and will purchase another one.

nice work form mangal industries Chittoor

We just got it put together and it is perfect. Excellent quality!! We looked at several brands and decided on this one.

Iv had it now for over 6 months. It’s great besides it settled in the middle a little and the water overflows when it rains.

We bought two of these and absolutely love how they look in our yard, and enjoy being able to open or close the louvers as desired. All parts arrived in excellent shape, and our contractor did not have any problems with the assembly (we're not the DIY types). The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that the built-in rain gutters are very shallow, and woefully inadequate during anything other than a very light rain. If it's really raining, the water either drips or pours down from the inside edge of the horizontal supports at the top of the pergola.

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.

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.

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.
