SORARA Outdoor Living has created a louvered pergola system that extends your living space outdoors.

You control the amount of sunlight you want with our premium ergonomically designed louver wand. When the rain starts you do not have to retreat indoors. Simply close the louver roof and let the integrated guttering system protect you from the elements. Whether you are covering a seating area, hot tub, or even your favorite BBQ grill, is a perfect choice. Invite your neighbors, family, and friends over for a day of relaxation. Constructed of a heavy gauge aluminum frame and sturdy powder-coated steel louvers, received a 2020 Red Dot award for its innovative design.

Overall and when all was said and done, I think this pergola will work well for us. It fit our deck well and truly provides some great options for full shade, being open for sunlight during cooler months, and also an option to leave open to avoid snow weight in the winter. Researched pergolas, gazebos, awnings pretty thoroughly, but settled on this because of roof options and seemed pretty solid looking. I was impressed with the materials and overall structural quality. We’ll see how it holds up in its first 60mph storm though. I will say this was a real beast to assemble myself. Pretty much did it all myself and took a few hours to assemble posts and upper frame one night and better part of a Saturday to put all louvers together, install them and finish assembly. For a handy person, its probably a real 8-10 hour job, but manageable. Be VERY CAREFUL when screwing/tightening the side brackets on the louver sides, the screws are a cheap quality and I probably had 8-10 bust off when almost fully tightened, leaving bolt stuck in the plastic thread. Was a real chore getting around that, but I managed. Also, I was disappointed that the last 2 louvers I pulled out of last box were damaged and dented. I wasn’t gonna mess with trying to get new/replacement ones because shipping this was already REALLY slow to ship. And shippers didn’t communicate at all or even tell us when it was coming or ring doorbell to say it was delivered or they were there. So I just tried straightening out dents myself. Fortunately I got to end of assembly and they had 1 extra louver they included, so I installed least dented 1 on end where it’s not really seen and just stored extra one that was more damaged. Overall, it seems like a solid pergola, the louvered roof works really well and seems well designed. Hope it holds up to our midwest wind and weather, but time will tell. All things considered, I’d give it a 7/10 right now.. Cody. West Fargo, ND. 2021-07-02 23:06:15
