Overall this was the right choice for our patio.  We have had it up for about a month.

A few things to keep in mind for this pergola.  It took a lot longer than it should have to put together so plan accordingly.  It does provide some shade and privacy but does not repel water so it rains through.  It will catch wind like a sail and has lifted uptwisted a few times although it is drilled into the concrete.  You can see that it is no longer squared correctly although it started out that way.  One of the rods on the side where we slide the canopy up and down has bendbowed from the wind but it is still functional.  

It is hard to determine right now if this pergola will make it till next summer.
