12x20 ft. Outdoor Pergola with Retractable Shade Canopy, Aluminum Frame, Roller Shade Curtain

The instructions say 40 minutes (possible), I don't know, let try 4 hours.
The instructions doesn't put proper photos of which you're screwing what.
I've been looking for the two screw holes for the "G" rod to connect to. After putting the whole thing up I find the holes, but the wholes seems to be on the wrong side if the "C".
It's on the large whole side rather then the small hole side.
I took it a part, thinking okay I messed up. After taking it apart, comes to find, no matter what I did, them little holes were not going to be in the correct position.
The instructions should at the least show count of holes per side of each piece you're putting together at that time. It should look like the piece preparing. "8 holes on this side / 10 holes on this side. - VISIBLE"
If you know how to correct it please let me know. Other then that I'm "MACGYVERing" it.

good

Took a while to put together but I'm a perfectionist. Yes the legs bolt together but they're sturdy when everything is tightened. Take your time and do it right. And fasten it down to your deck if possible. Even if you need to buy beefier hardware. Mine is as solid as a rock. I live in North East US, upstate NY. Been out all year and looks great. We removed the sliding top for the winter and we are more than satisfied with the durability of the unit. Put it up in May.

When they said the instructions were a little difficult.... Believe it! Anyways its up now looking gorgeous it is a little wobbly Ill be tightening more screws around wish there was a was add another privacy shade but its fine. Now just to hang up some solar string lights and itll be perfect Update There has been a little wind and because the columns arent one piece there is some sway to it tried tightening but thr material is a little cheap so the screws can go no more sometimes I come home and see the legs horribly bent I suggest you try a different pergola one where the legs are just one piece and no two so it can be sturdier would do a refund on this but thats a lot of work to send it back

It was east to assemble. i did it alone in less than a day.

Hope it lasts. Framework is thin. Was fairly easy to put together.

Best patio furniture I ever bought. Looks beautiful and it is sturdy

So far so good! Hasn’t blown over yet! Bolting them to the pavement tomorrow! Fairly easy to assemble, more words in this “ destructions” manual than most of the purchases from Wayfair this summer outdoor assembly projects

We love this pergola. We wanted a partially covered back patio and love how we can open or close the top and the privacy sides. The metal structures aren't steel but the metal feels like it will last for quite a while as will the shade so long as we manage it in strong wind. Everyone gives us compliments and we love it!

Overall assembly wasn’t terrible but could have been made easier. Beautiful addition to the deck.

It took the two of us approximately 4 hours to assemble. This is a very attractive and stylish pergola. Love the versatility of full to partial shading on both the side and top.

Love sunny days under our new pergola

This pergola created a comfortable sitting area. Withstood the rain last night. We did secure two legs in pots with decorative gravel and two legs secured to the pavers as they don’t show amongst the flower pots. The only downside is I’m only 5’2” so I can’t reach the locking device for the top canopy. We are working on extending the locking device. Otherwise it’s very attractive and worth the money.

We have a stone patio that get so hot that it is almost impossible to use in the summer. This pergola was a very nice addition! I was skeptical, but it provides a surprising amount of shade and cools the area nicely. It is attractive and sturdy enough. We have only hadn’t up for a couple of days but so far, so good in normal weather conditions. For the price, I think it is a great value! My husband is not especially handy and was able to get it put together fairly easily and was able to do most of it by himself. The doggies are loving sleeping under it in the shade and that is all that really matters, lol!

I need shelter from the sun but our umbrella bit the dust last year, and I’ve been really wanting more shade for our deck. I considered doing a DIY awning with piping and canvas, but the cost and time wasn’t worth it. I’ve seen the pergolas in the big box stores and really liked the look. So I measured the deck area and started looking on Amazon. It took forever to find one that would fit the area. And then I found this one, and because it actually had a picture with measurements that helped all the more. It also had pull down shades and everything I was looking for. Except reviews. 😳 but out of all the other ones I looked at, this one fit and had the best pics of measurements. And was really around the same price as all the others. So I ordered it and it arrived I think about a week. My husband put it together and it took him a little over an hour, until he did the retractable awning… that took a bit of time because at that point the instructions got a bit confusing… but after some trial and error we figured it out. We did end up loosing one of the slider hooks that lock it in place, and when I contacted the company they were quick to respond and the replacement arrived within two days. The pergola frame itself was a little low and couldn’t clear the door so my husband made 4” risers for it. It’s secured to our deck. And when the wind blows it stays put. I’m absolutely very satisfied and happy with this. I feel like I’m up in a tree house. My neighbors have all come to see it. We had rain the first night we put it up and the awning was closed, but when I opened it the next day there was no water trapped in the folds due to the little drip holes they have in there. Again I absolutely love this and extremely happy with our purchase!!!

We received our 10X13 pergola within a week of ordering. The instructions were adequate and it took two of us around 4 hours to put it together. It wasn’t EASY, but it was adequate. Everything was well labeled and the screws lined up fine. A screw gun a hex bit and a Phillips bit made the job MUCH easier. We highly recommended the screw gun!

We are missing one small piece and have emailed asking for a replacement part, but even if they ignore my request, the product is fine.

Understand it is not wood and therefore not equipped for high wind, snow or rain. But will be awesome for summer days. Just what we were looking for.

Nice product. Takes way longer than the suggested one hour to assemble however.

It arrived with damages, some of the pieces didn’t fit together and description doesn’t match at all with the product

I specifically asked in the website chat if the rolling curtains could be installed on the larger side of the pergola and they said 'Yes, they can be installed on either side, the design is versatile, allowing you to position the curtains where you need the most shade and privacy' blah, blah. The fact is they can't be installed on the larger side. Not what I needed.
