Pros This pergola looks high end but doesn’t break the bank. The aluminum “wood grain” finish is a great touch. It certainly stays put during the mant windy days we’ve had and is no match for the thunderstorms we’ve seen. 

Cons The canopy collects water when it rains and the only way to drain it is by opening and closing it so that it makes its way to the edges. Because of this, we’re now looking into adapting clear roof panels so that we can enjoy the space even during the rainy season. Be careful with the track that slides the canopy in and out, as it can easily bend.
