Backyard Discovery Sarasota 20'x10' Galvanized Steel Louvered Pergola Kit, Adjustable Roof

I purchased this pergola and the installation. It was installed in June 2026. I am very happy with the pergola. It's providing protection and privacy in my very small, open back yard. I needed something that will withstand high winds along with lots of snow. Walter and his son installed the pergola, and they did a great job. I've only had the pergola a short time, but I feel this will be one of my best decisions regarding my home.

We've now had our pergola installed a few weeks! My favorite part of our new deck! The ability to have shade or partial sun is awesome! We were also able to implement this 10x16 pergola into our new railing so it looks awesome! With the rug and furniture it makes our deck life so comfortable and cozy! We added an 8x10 shade to the west side to block the evening suns which is a great addition. We love it!

The best pergola and/or gazebo I've ever put up with my son! Installed on 5/30/26, only took 4 hours with 2 people! Very heavy duty, I would change anything about it. My only criticism would be for you to add at the beginning of the instructions “determine where you want the louver mechanism” so they can determine where to start with the first post. Can anyone tell me what the metal fold out shelf is on the electrical box? Is it a shelf for cell phones? Missing a few rubber nubs that go on the end of the louvers, how can I get more? So great, so heavy duty….I'm extremely happy and so is my family and pets for shade!!!! Has anyone installed roll up/down shades? If so and you like end result, can you reply with what brand?

I bought this a month ago and got it installed. Backyard Discovery did a great job with the instructions, really made building it go smoothly. The Pergola itself is awesome, the finish looks great on it and it feels like something way more high priced than we paid for. The quality of the steel is great on it and the opening and closing of the top works really well. We did struggle with the some concrete anchors breaking during the drilling and that was with using the recommended pilot hole and taping off the depth. I would recommend stronger concrete bolts. Drainage works well and the power adapter is really neat. We ended up mounting a fan on it and it made the space really nice.

This is the 4th time we have purchased something from backyard discovery. We love everything we have purchased! The sarasota pergola is wonderful and we are so pleased with how it turned out. The quality just can't be beat. We highly recommend backyard discovery to family and friends. Thank you!

I live in the Midwest and we get frequent wind storms in the spring, so I was looking for a pergola that can stand a high wind and snow load. Since putting this up almost every day we’ve had 20mph wind with gusts around 40mph. I’ve seen no movement or rattling during these windy days. It’s pretty heavy, coming in four boxes all around 125lbs for the 12x10, but not unmanageable. I was able to construct this in a few hours with one other guy. The gutters work but won’t deflect all water, some will spill over them, but if you’re directly under the pergola with the louvers closed you won’t get wet. Overall very happy with this product.

Very nice product. Install wasn't too bad. I did it by myself in a day. I should have had a second set of hands to raise the beams but I made it work. Quality is nice. So far so good. No wind or major storms, I angled the louvers in direction of the winds so it doesn't catch and pull.

So far we have been very happy with this pergola. The fit, finish and quality are top notch, especially for the competitive price point. It is very strong and sturdy as well. Installation was easy, the instructions were clear and simple. Once I understood the big picture of how it is assembled, it became even easier. My only complaint is the anchoring. Our concrete patio is only a few years old and is 5000psi fiber reinforced. After the challenge of drilling it, the provided concrete screws really struggled. Most of them wouldn't fully seat, and one of the screw heads sheared off. I ended up switching to expansion anchors which worked better. I would have liked to go with a larger anchor, however the base plate and holes really only allowed for 1/4", or maybe 5/16" anchors. We live in an area with high winds, and I would have liked for a bit wider baseplate, which would add some additional rotational / moment resistance, along with the ability to install a larger anchor. One last thing, a touch up paint kit would be nice as I did manage to scratch a few places during installation, and I'd like to prevent future rust. Nothing that I can't source on my own though. Overall, 5 stars, we're extremely happy with our purchase, it has really transformed our space.

I installed this in my backyard in Florida, and it gives great shade in sunny hot days and keeps us dry in the rain. Great for my table chairs and barbecue grill. Solid up to 150 miles per hour winds during hurricanes. Electric and gutters for rainstorms in florida. Just love the finished Product!

I bought this pergola 10 months ago. I installed it myself in a day with the help of my grandson. Installation was fairly simple and instruction manual is very helpful. Make sure to follow steps as installig some parts out of oreder can mean taking it back apart. Love the louvered roof as you can enjoy the outdoors when weather is good and stay covered in wet or hot conditions. Only problem I have dad is with the power strip that comes with it. Love the convenience of plug-in availability but it is not working after 8 months.
