Words cannot express how much we love our new pergola! It took a couple of days to get it up, but it won’t be going anywhere unless there’s a Cat 5 Hurricane. We live in NW Florida and had to make sure what we got wasn’t going anywhere. Even without attaching it to the ground/pavement it’s so heavy it would have to take a major wind to cause any damage. It’s plenty big enough for our fire table and not crowded at all. The quality of the materials used was great. Everything fit well and no adjustments or replacements were needed. We added lights to add to the ambiance and couldn’t help but fall in love. We spend many weekend nights outside enjoying it. Highly recommend this item especially for the size and materials used.
