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?

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!

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.

The set up was easy, just took a few hours. Make sure to wear gloves if you're setting this up in the sun - the Metal gets HOTT! You'll need at least two persons, maybe a third to be the runner for you while installing the long slats. We've had so many compliments on this, it's a nice pergola!

What a great Pergola! It went together much faster than I expected and looks great. The only issue with installation we had was attaching the metal plates to the 32 louvers, not sure why they don't ship them already attached. The Louvered roof is awesome and water tight. I am so glad we bought this structure.

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!

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.

[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 purchased a larger side version for one portion of our deck then purchased this smaller size to fit another portion of our deck. It's well made and had a sleek look to it. We hired a handyman to assemble and bolt to our deck. We like being able to open and close the slats on top. Very easy to use and provides total coverage when it rains. The drainage system works well. We sometimes get high winds where we live but have had no issues with structural integrity.

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.
