We needed a space for shade and a space where we wanted to create an outdoor room. We took a space of our outdoor patio to do that. 

So my husband and I with our sons completed the pergola in 4 hours. Each time I look at the pergola I’m in awe of its beauty and reminded of our time building it. It was actually a lot of fun to build.  Each person had their role to play in making it. The instructions were fantastic. I would definitely purchase again from Backyard Discovery. 

Our sun shade is not in the picture due to the fact that it was 6 inches too short. With that said, once I let them know, they ordered me a new right away. You won’t be disappointed with the quality of this pergola. Hopefully you and your family will build one together and enjoy making memories for years to come. bonus feature of the outdoor plug system was great when we added outdoor string lights.
