PURPLE LEAF 10′ X 13′ Outdoor Retractable Pergola with Sun Shade Canopy Patio Metal Shelter for Porch Garden Beach Pavilion Grill Gazebo Modern Yard Grape Trellis Pergola, Gray

Pool shade
Very nice pergola at a great price! I love the color!! As another reviewer stated, I found it a little wobbly so I added extra supports. I also improvised a new method to open and close it since I installed it over the pool.

Nice pergola, easy to assemble
Pergola came within projected delivery schedule, was well packaged and without damage.No parts were missing, (even had 1 or 2 extra screws of each size). Instructions were very straight forward, although mainly pictures/diagrams. A few lines of text would have been helpful, missed a detail on one diagram that caused have to disassemble and redo a step…no big deal.My wife and I did the assembly without any real difficulties and we are 70. Follow the directions and look ahead before you actually assemble and you will be fine. The only modification we did was putting the 4 main posts in large outdoor planters with gravel instead of bolting them down.Seems very sturdy and are looking forward to a summer of shade on very hot days.

Quality is number one
UPDATE:See the last picture showing a drilled hole. Above the hole is another hole, but it has the necessary hardware piece that supports a screw; these holes are on both main beams B & C. Yes, we can plug it with a rubber plug, but we have another diy use for those “extra” holes.We reached out to the company only to get repeated responses over 3 days. “The holes don’t require any additional hardware” & it’s a “standard part of the pergola design” . And finally, they “do not have additional hardware parts available that are specifically designed to cover these holes”.My husband is a retired mechanical engineer & noted those holes are the same diameter as the holes above that have the necessary hardware pieces in place.What purpose does this design in the product serve other than to allow wasp’s to go in there & rain water that probably has no way to drain. It was suggested to buy tension rods if we want to hang curtains; not an option for our diy use. Lastly, the Instruction booklet does not show these extra holes.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Original review:We purchased this Purple Leaf pergola (10’x12′) because of reviews stating the company was prompt in getting missing (or extra) hardware sent quickly; that’s great customer service. Plus the reviews mentioned the quality of the materials.Husband injured his knee, so I assembled everything, the poles (posts) & cross beams in 4 hours, then 2 hours to get the pergola set up on the deck, including the canopy; neighbor came over… definitely need two people & two ladders to set it up.Instructions were not a problem until I got to the canopy; sometimes the easiest part of a project is a head scratcher.The pictures in the instructions, Steps 6 and Step 7, don’t match the actual canopy cover.This is probably not making sense to you 😀, so maybe the photos will help.***Just make sure you start with the edge of the canopy that has only 1 cut out on Main Beam B ending with the edge of the canopy that has 3 cut outs on Main Beam C (where the strap goes).Other than that, everything was in the box, all parts there and no major dents.So glad we purchased this pergola because each summer we’d put up/take down the 12’x16′ seasonal canopy. This will be permanent, on the deck, only to take the canopy down during winter (per recommendations in the instruction booklet).Take time to read what others + reviews had to add; many have great suggestions! One person mentioned using magnets to keep the canopy from moving forward during windy day’s, or using a bungie cord to hold it back.Quality product, lot’s of details went into making this pergola. Thank you Purple Leaf 💜

We purchased 3m×3m pergola. Really pleased with it. We didn’t find the instructions until we’d virtually finished as it was tucked in between the side cardboard packaging. Hey ho. Printed the essentials off Internet. It went together well, sturdy, don’t know about how waterproof the canopy is ,as it hasn’t rained yet ,would you believe. Think it’s really good value for money. Looks really good. All in all I think uts a good buy.

La structure est tordue (voir photos). Pas étonnant, vu la finesse des 2 pattes des socles sur lesquels sont fixés les poteaux.Prevoir d’enlever les toiles pendant la période d’hiver dans les régions ou le vent dépasse les 80km/h.Je mets malgré tout 4 étoiles pour la très bonne communication avec le vendeur, hyper réactif. Il a tout fait pour trouver une solution pour renforcer la structure et a participé financièrement. Encore merci….

Short answer is yes, All beam members are aluminium, instructions are great and easy to follow, Allen key bolts are good quality. What lets it down, well first off it arrived damaged by a puncture through the carboard with a fork lift dented tbe beams, 😔. I didn’t spot this on delivery as the puncture was on the bottom on the bottom of the box, delivered by 2 guys?? It’s heavy so needs a 2 person.lift. After moving to garden for unpacking it became obvious. Decided to build it anyway as it is is a right pain to get anything like this back to Amazon. Instructions are easy to follow just like Lego ones.Bolts holes are poorly aligned and you need to wiggle or drill them out slightly to fit, very poor cutting this should not happen on a product of this cost. It needs 2 people to help position uprights and cross beams, I can see light through the cover in cloud so not sure of UV protection, will see and update later. Once assembly easy to lift with 4 persons and position. Canopy doesnt have a tie back so used a velcro strap ,one I had spare . So I would purchase this again despite issues just check the box carefully for holes.
