LOVE THIS PERGOLA - We needed something that kept the sun off our outdoor kitchen in central Florida. We lifted it by about 18 inches so it would be above our door by using flower boxes and filled with concrete. It actually makes the pergola more comfortable by raising it. The gutters work well in the heavy down pours known in Florida. The higher wind tolerance was a huge selling point for us. We couldnt be happier. Note really watch the videos out there before attempting to put together as they provide good tips that prevent common mistakes.

Beautiful pergola! 5 boxes were delivered at the same time and packed very well. 3 person took 4.5 hours for the assembling, assembly instruction is clear. Overall we are very happy now.

Easy to install and great quality we couldn’t be happier with our new space. The louvre ceiling is perfect.

Very well made and perfect for my patio space! My SIL put it up in one day by himself and was surprised at the quality.

Seems fairly sturdy. 12 by 16, if your setting on a deck like I did , the pergola is slightly bigger than 12 by 16. Took two guys a full day to assemble.
