Creating a relaxing yet stylish outdoor space with the premium (16 ft. x 11 ft.) Aluminum soft top Pergola. It offers privacy and optimal shade from harsh sun rays, simply slide the convertible canopy back and forth to suit your comfort level.

Delivery was very quick and although boxes were very battered, packing material protected the parts well with only a few minor cosmetic chips (touch-up paint included). Instruction manual mislabeles Beam Connectors 11 and 11a, so just use the opposite part when building. Considering the size of the frame and number of parts/holes, it fit together pretty well. That said, a small round file and a drill bit will widen the occasional holes that are slightly offset and ream out hole punches that are too small for screws, respectively. Recommend using the cardboard packaging and wood blocks to prop up frame to protect the finish during assembly. As always, hex bit provided is small - have a couple longer ones or drill bit adapter on hand to speed things up. I threaded some wire through the canopy loops to keep the in place during assembly. One person can do a lot of the work, but three are needed to stand up and connect the two halves of the frame. Two people are needed to install the canopy.. David. Melrose, MA. 2019-08-24 20:39:08
