Easy to assemble, I worked by myself with two 8 foot ladders. Organized all of the screws on a cardboard box so would be easier to find them. Used lag bolts to attach inside frame to the side of the garage. All the parts were there, less(8 sheet metal screws) I had my own. Assembled in about 8 hours.

After years of contemplating what kind of pergola to get, I decided on this one. It came very well packaged in 3 boxes and included directions. This particular pergola attaches directly onto your house, so it is very sturdy and strong. I included everything needed. Assembly directions were easy enough to follow. I would recommend.

I was able to assemble most of the pieces for the structure by myself, but needed extra hands to stand it up and connect it. My husband helped when it came to the roof and hated every second of it. Youll need someone semi skinny with long arms to get the screws into the roof. If you have enough people to help lift it, assembling the roof on the ground then lifting it up to attach it would be 100x better. The back really needs to be attached to a structure. The stability of the legs themselves arent great. We are still working on our deck, but screwing the legs down to it still wouldnt provide enough stability. We just had our house rebuilt so we dont want to bolt it to it as were not sure this will be a permanent fixture. Our solution in the meantime is to stack single cinder blocks around each leg and fill them with concrete to weigh it down without needing to screw it into anything. This will hopefully provide enough stability while still allowing us to move it around to work on the deck boards and not damage our house.

This particular brand and the photo shown do not match. It clearly shows in the photo that the legs are larger than what comes in package. Also the picture instructions could be a lot larger for corner details especially, other than that it seems to be sturdy enough.

It wasn't high enough for the fascia board on the house as we wanted. Seems pretty strong and sturdy. We will see how the weather treats it soon. We bolted it to the brick and concrete driveways.
