This pergola is exactly what we had in mind! Unfortunately our measurements were a little off, but the three handy men that we hired to install were able to get the job done by attaching it to our roof. It took them about 6 hours so I would definitely recommend having three people to install it. We also left out one of the center posts since it was going to be right in front of the door, but since they bolted it to the roof it is perfectly fine. The quality is great and extremely sturdy. We can’t wait to get the matching sun shades!
