Ratings & Reviews for Backyard Discovery Sarasota 16-ft W x 10-ft L x 8-ft 2-in H Black Metal Freestanding Pergola with Canopy

Classy addition to backyard

I bought this to replace my gazebo that was destroyed by the hurricane. It is very nice and the louvers are cool. One word of caution during assembly: make sure you get the long beams set the right way. The instructions aren’t clear on that and we had to remove all the louvers and flip the beams over.

Perfect

I recently had a pergola and had it installed in my backyard, and I couldn't be happier with the results! The design is stunning, and it’s the perfect blend of style and functionality. It has transformed my outdoor space into a beautiful retreat, offering both shade and an open-air feel. The quality of the materials is top-notch, and the craftsmanship is exceptional. It was easy to maintain, and it holds up well against the elements. Whether for relaxing or entertaining guests, this pergola has ...

Looks amazing

I bought this about 8 months ago. It made it through hurricane season in SC without a problem.

Well-made and looks great!

We purchased a larger side version for one portion of our deck then purchased this smaller size to fit another portion of our deck. It's well made and had a sleek look to it. We hired a handyman to assemble and bolt to our deck. We like being able to open and close the slats on top. Very easy to use and provides total coverage when it rains. The drainage system works well. We sometimes get high winds where we live but have had no issues with structural integrity.

Nice design!

I looked for a long time before deciding on this product. The price was good and it didn't disappoint. We hired a handyman service to assemble and bolt to our deck. It's a sleek design, and we love that it has the drainage system and the option to have the slats open or closed. Provides great shade and even allows my husband to grill when it's raining! They're very sturdy. We get strong winds where we live and we've had no issues with the structural integrity. We liked this so much that we bough...

Superior Pergola Structure

Purchased Summer 2024 & was the best gift I gave myself! The quality, modern style and features of this Pergola makes it an excellent investment for backyard enjoyment. Experienced a smooth assembly and installation.

Great features and easy to use.

We love the pergola. So easy to use and enjoy when there light rain we can sit underneath to stay dry. Had a third party assemble for use as this is a two person job as the pergola is very heavy.

Great

After considerable research we settled on the Sarasota and are very pleased with the choice. It is solid and well made and doesn't leak in the rain. A great value.

Easy and beautiful

I am so happy with this pergola. It was easy to put up, and had held up wonderfully. It completely changed our backyard.

Super Simple DIY Space Changer

So happy invested in the Sarasota Took two of us do, just follow the instructions take your time. We enjoy the space that literally transforms our hot sun beaten area to a comfortable outdoor living environment. Game Changer for us I would totally recommend.

Gorgeous, quality!

Team was very personable and helpful getting the item to me, good communication. My husband and I put this together ourselves (would recommend more people) but it was manageable! It is gorgeous. Quality. Makes my backyard feel cozy like a home, not just a slab of concrete. My dogs love it. I love opening/closing for sun/shade. Every one who comes over asks for a link so they can get one.

Solid weii-designed pergola

We bought this pergola a few months ago and love it! We installed party lights and it is now a delightful focal point of our yard. We already have 2 wooden gazebos in our yard and are ver happy that we now have a steel pergola that will not need any upkeep.

Great Pergola

This was definitely not a single person project, needed about 3-4 people to help build this pergola. We were able to complete the build in 1 days and it turned out great! We look how it came out and it does feel like it’s last strong winds (main reason we purchased it)

Love the design, but some flaws...

Am a former heavy truck/bus, now train mechanic, so I know my way around assembling stuff. This wasn't bad. However I did noticed several things, it's supposedly powder coated but I noticed a tiny paint chip on one of the pieces. Pretty insignificant, I just hoped it really is galvanized and doesn't rust on that spot. Additionally one of the shorter top beams had a bunch of dents in the middle. It's not too noticable ones the roof is closed, but when it's opened looks like Rocky Balboa used it f...

Exactly what we wanted!

I looked for a long time to find just the right pergola and am so happy with this Sarasota one. It looks amazing and is exactly what we needed in our backyard. It is very high quality!

Perfect

Love our new Pergola. well constructed and sturdy

Pergola

Just installed the 10 x 16 pergola and we love it. It had good instructions for assembly and took about 6 hours for 2 people. We would love it if you had the option for curtains.

The Perfect Modern Pergola

My patio desperately needed some shade and though I love pergolas, I didn’t feel that the traditional wooden pergola would work in my space. And temperature extremes plus wood leads to expensive replacements. This pergola is the perfect solution. Love the look. Structure is heavy duty. I added curtains and cafe lights. Couldn’t be happier.

Good looking and very sturdy

We have intense sun on our deck in the summer. We purchased this pergola for the deck and had I think it will be very effective in the summer. One of the factors in choosing this particular model was its strength and ability to withstand high winds which we get occasionally. I do wish there were options for side curtains to block the sun in the late afternoon. We found the installation to be a bit more complicated and hired someone to finish the frame and secure the pergola to the d...

Great Pergola

We bought this last week, and it’s made a world of difference for our south facing deck!
