I live in a rental and the owners didn’t build a wood pergola off the west facing living room like so many of our neighbors. In the summer, that living room bakes and it heats the whole house. I bought the Naples Metal Pergola to help control the temperature in that room and to help reduce my cooling costs in the summer. It has far exceeded my expectations!  It’s free standing and is extremely solid and durable. It weighs about 130lbs, so it isn't going anywhere regardless of how hard the wind blows. It’s attractive, has a nice finish and has already impacted the temperature in the house in the afternoons.  Couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend.
