Nice little pergola! It was fairly easy to install with 2 people, though if you can gather 4 people it's even easier during the final steps.

I'm glad I took the time to read the reviews about the poor instructions. Installation went a lot smoother knowing that some of the instructions were mislabelled. It was easier to use common sense than to follow the letters.

It looks nice and the screen is very easy to pull up and down. It seems very sturdy, we may eventually anchor it to the deck but for now it's holding up fine just free standing.

The screen is a nice thick woven plastic material. Not waterproof but provides filtered shade. It looks like it will hold up well.
