There are workarounds for problems

I purchased the pergola about 2 months ago. It went up fairly quickly with the help of 3 others. I had read other reviewer's problems in regards windy conditions, but developed workarounds as have others. I weaved the cloth material or shade through the upper slats to give it stability. This step is... read full review »

Pretty Pergola with design issues

We fell in love with this pergola and the measurements were perfect for us. We assembled it without a problem. Comes with stakes to secure to ground or you can screw it into the deck. The only problems we have had are with the wind and rain. When it is windy, the awnings blow all over the place. We solved... read full review »

Love It!

This product is pleasing to the eye and provides some much needed shade for us. My husband and a friend installed it with no problems in less then an hour. The fabric does flap in the wind so I will be attaching something to tie it to the poles. A larger and heavier weight would have kept the fabric from flapping. Otherwise I think this is an excellent product for the price.

Outside Room

We love the look of the pergola and spend much time in it. It does all it says it does, however, rain and wind are a problem. Water collects on top of the awnings and they flap all over in the wind. We (lifted) one end of the awnings over the center ceiling bar from the inside of the pergola creating a short hanging edge down the center. This holds the awning neatly all the time until we need shade, then we release the awning and create the wall. This works pretty well until it rains hard and the awning pulls loose. We might try securing the flaps with some type of tension bar or cord. As this... read full review »

Modifications needed!

The product is nice but the fabric moves a lot in the wind. We ended up tying down the fabric which worked very well since we didn't need to readjust the shade screen. The assembly was very frustrating. The size was a little bigger than than what was given and the columns didn't square up. Overall, after a few modifications it worked and does look very nice.

Deluxe Pergola

We just spent a lot of time assembling this pergola,anxiously waiting to be able to use our sunny patio. It looks beautiful, but the wind took the panels and blew them all around, sometimes dropping them down on our heads, or throwing them from one side to the other.They won't blow off completely but they don't stay in place either It doesn't seem as if this product has been tested under normal weather conditions. The panels are just too light - we had to take them down for fear that they would be destroyed.

Very disappointed

We had this up for less than a week, and after some wind blew through, the fabric that covers the ends of the metal bars (used to hold the cover in place) ripped. The metal bars will now not stay in the "sleeve." I was told not leave the pergola up all Winter, but after just one week (the first week) in the Spring?! I am very disappointed. I have contacted Sears, and I'm awaiting a return phone call as to what I'm supposed to do.

Love it!

Prior to purchasing this pergola, we spent time and money on different umbrellas (tilt, etc.). They were not tilted enough, blew around and rotated and were just plain work! We wanted to block the evening sun and the view from the street. This was the answer to our problems. The ability to move the shades on either end is spectacular. We have only had it for 2 weeks, but I love it. We placed it on our deck and it seems to be holding up well to the wind. I sometimes "roll" the shade ends up over the top to open it up (when needed). One caution: It comes in one box that is about 100" long... read full review »

Highly recommend with a little tweaking

I love the look of this and it was fairly easy to assemble. much easier with 2 people at least. But like past reviews, i found that the canvas hanging covers are not very resistant to the wind. in fact, the metal bars are too light, and the tarps twist and turn and bang around. i ended up installing grommets in the corners and used a marine grade nylon cord knotted in a decorative way around the posts and tying to 2 tarps to each other to prevent them from flying around. Works well. Also, it is covering my hot tub, which worksa great for privacy, BUT......if you have a removable cover, the middle... read full review »

Extremely Disappointed

Loved the look of this pergola in store- but it doesn't hold up outside. Wind has blown the rods out of the fabric panels-so the panels are not usuable. If there is any breeze at all, panels wrap around support poles. This outdoor pergola is not suited for outdoor use. Am awaiting response from Sears as I hope to return item for full refund.

We are happy

We are very happy with our pergola. We are enjoying fulling and looking forward to more good times this summer. This gives me the shade we wanted and also allows us to take in the great outdoors.

Pergola

I bought this Pergola and everyone that come to my house, loves it! I have gotten nothing but wonderful comments on the product. The shade feature is great! It is very sturdy and I think it will last a long time! I would recommend this to other potential buyers!

looks good so far

I'm a little worried about it rusting, they said to use liquid wax in the paperwork, I'm just afraid a paint won't work on the surface afterwards if it doesn't work out. Look very lovely, not at all hard to put together.
