Good looking and very sturdy

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.

Good but no option for patio shades

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.

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!!!

Solid weii-designed pergola

We bought this pergola a few months ago and love it! We installed party lights and it is now a delightful focal point of our yard. We already have 2 wooden gazebos in our yard and are ver happy that we now have a steel pergola that will not need any upkeep.

Super Simple DIY Space Changer

So happy invested in the Sarasota Took two of us do, just follow the instructions take your time. We enjoy the space that literally transforms our hot sun beaten area to a comfortable outdoor living environment. Game Changer for us I would totally recommend.

Excellent Quality

Wow! We are impressed. The quality of our pergola couldn't be better. My husband and I setup in 6 hours. Everything was labeled, organized and easy to follow. Everything fit together and had no issues with alignment. The option to close and open the louvers is a wonderful option. Our deck was full sun during the day not much fun. But, now we can enjoy all day long.

Very attractive pergola

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.

Great Buy

Great functionality vs standard non-louvered pergola. This makes a 95 degree day in Kentucky feel very comfortable. Setup was easy. Two people spent one full day installing. We were missing one small piece, which was rushed out to us with no questions asked. It has also shown great wind resistance, which is a must where I live. Aluminum frames just don't hold up like steel. The only reason I cannot give 5 stars is because you cannot hang things, like a chair, hammock, etc from the frame, despite it being steel. I would also like it if BD made add-ons, like curtains for privacy and shade when the sun is at a low angle. Overall, I do love having this pergola.

Nice design!

I looked for a long time before deciding on this product. The price was good and it didn't disappoint. We hired a handyman service to assemble and bolt to our deck. It's a sleek design, and we love that it has the drainage system and the option to have the slats open or closed. Provides great shade and even allows my husband to grill when it's raining! They're very sturdy. We get strong winds where we live and we've had no issues with the structural integrity. We liked this so much that we bought a second one for the other part of our deck. I highly recommend.

Sarasota Louvered Pergola

I bought the Sarasota Louvered Pergola 2 weeks ago and I love it. The louvered is adjustable it opens all the way or you can close it all the way if it’s raining, what a genius idea. I love the no maintenance with the galvanized steel and its sleek stylish black color. The instructions made it easy to install and came with all the anchoring plates and a 5 year warranty. I think I might buy one for my mom for Mother’s Day.
