I’m so glad we purchased the Arcadia Gazebo, I have xeroderma pigmentosum , which means I'm extremely sensitive to UV rays but I’m also an avid bird watcher.
     I waited until night to avoid the sun, set up multiple flood lights to my neighbors displeasure and finished construction before sunrise.  
     The Pergola is a perfect addition to my backyard , I’m able to venture outside during the daylight hours with my Bird watching binoculars and feel safe. I’ve even caught a glimpse of  the elusive spotted redshank in the trees behind my house. Prior to having the pergola I was only able to do nocturnal bird watching and even owl sighting can get boring after a while.
