This pergola is exactly what my backyard needed. I love how it’s both cute and functional.  It took me about 2 hours to put together by myself. I’m one to often have to redo steps because of putting pieces backwards, but these directions were really easy. I did request my husbands help in the end to move it.  I do have a couple of concerns how the material will last in the Texas sun and issue with getting the sun shade to stay in place and not blow back and forth in the wind.  I put up a magnet to hold for now, but I suspect that solution won’t last long. For now, I added in sand to the legs before attaching to the top, but I will need to find a better solution for weighing down.
