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.

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

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.

Nice, sturdy louvered pergola for reasonable price

This pergola was purchased 6 weeks ago, and so far, we are very satisfied with the effect on our patio and the overall quality of the product. It was worth paying to have it assembled, due to a lack of time, and other family priorities. It was completely set up within 4 hours, which would've taken us days. Outside of blowing rain, it stays dry underneath as advertised. The pergola is easy to open and close, and the electric/charging port is a nice added feature for lighting, phone charging, etc. I plan to anchor it soon, but it already has withstood 50+ mph wind gusts without being anchored. We are pleased with our purchase so far. We will see how it goes over time.

Love the Sarasota Steel Louvered Pergola

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.

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.

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.

Climate Changer

Bought and installed a month ago, One beam was was 1/2” to long but BD overnighted a replacement beam. The install otherwise went flawlessly. Could have inbuilt this in one day but for the replaced Part. Instructions and Service were good. We are enjoying the flexibility of the louverrd operation and really enjoy the shade and definition it gives our patio.

Great Pergola

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)

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!
