When it finally came together it was beautiful, but putting it together was no easy feat. They sent the incorrect number of screws so we had to go the the hardware store and try to match them. Also, the long nails meant to anchor the pergola into the ground would only work on grass, so we had to purchase galvanized lag bolts to secure it to our deck. Now that it’s up and running it’s beautiful and secure and really does improve our yard.
