Novara Louvered Aluminum Pergola

I'll let you know when we actually get the pergola put together. Deck is still being built. This product has over 2000 parts, so if you are not handy, take Wayfair up on their offer to install. Comes in 8 boxes, and if you appear to be missing parts, check inside the posts. Important parts are packed inside one of the posts. We checked as soon as the packages arrived and all the parts were shipped. Watch out for Wayfair's pricing policy though. They dropped the price by $500 and would not make a price adjustment... and I have spent thousands of dollars at Wayfair. Did not appreciate that at all. Update: 4/1/23 The pergola is lovely, but tends to creak in the high winds we get. Not really a problem. The finish has held up well, except for the 2 hooks controlling the opening and closing of the levers. They are very badly rusted.We also ran electric up the inside of the middle posts, and put a light on the outside post and an electrical outlet on the other post. The electric is controlled by a switch inside the house. Overalll, we are very happy with the purchase.

Loving the pergola. I had some issues with the “handy” service. It took 2 guys two, 6 hour days to complete but for most part they did a good job. It was the actual service (handy) that was a pain. They have no number to call for issues. You can call Wayfair though and they can get in touch with Handy.

Love it! We installed it on the deck (reinforced underneath), and it’s been a dream! It takes FOREVER to put together but end result is great! It makes our deck so usable. Leave the louvers open when not using so wind and rain can go through.

This is a good looking piece but please note that it is a 4 person job! To raise the pergola, youll need two people to hold up one end and another two to prop it up. Be careful to follow the instruction because theyre quite complicated and you can easily do it wrong and half to go back. We had a situation where we installed the louvres in the wrong direction and had to take it all off and put it together. The install will easily take over 5 hours to do. I would give it 5 stars except the instructions were not written well.

Not worth the money. When built we noticed some of the louvers did not align equally so when closed you’re able to see gaps. At first we thought it was assembled incorrectly or the louvers were bent but when we confirmed with the professional installer and reviewed the manual ourselves we noticed there were uneven holes/gaps on some of the areas which may have been a manufacturer error. Overall, for the price I do not recommend it as it seems like some could get a bad box like we did and potentially disassembling to have the parts replace meant we had to remove 70% of the structure and remove the caulking. Adding more cost for our professional installer. Overall, don’t buy if the feature to close and open the louvers are the reasons to buy.

Love it! Just the right size for my new yard!

It feels very short and the metal is very thin bends easy.

Professional handy installer did not complete the installation today and said he can not come back for another 2 days to finish the job

It’s been over a month and louvres aren’t working. Had to get rid of Handy after 4 appointment s. This is a big project and workers have not been familiar with this item. It looks nice but make sure you know good contractors to put it together

Fantastic quality. Amazing tedious to put together (took me 14 hours).
