We bought our first home two years ago and this year we decided to work on the yard. We wanted a small pergola in order to make a little square of dirt into something special. This was the only 3 post pergola I could find and it happened to match our fence perfectly. We are thrilled with the results and now have some new DIY skills we didn’t have before.
It should be known that this pergola is, in a sense, a vinyl covering for a wooden pergola. It will not stand alone so if you are looking for a quick backyard shelter, I wouldn’t suggest this at all. You will need a saw, a drill, lumber, many levels, string, a tape measure, multiple people and potentially a post digger and concrete of you plan to secure it in dirt. Be prepared to spend more money. Also, read all of the instructions from the start. They are not great (for example, they say you might need a saw but you very much need a saw).
I’m giving this review 5 stars because the end result is even better than what I imagined. The item came quickly, in four boxes without any damage. We also had a ton of wind right after installation and the thing stayed solid. That said, it took my husband and myself maybe 5-6 hours over the course of ten days to complete (plus 8 trips to the hardware store and we had to rent a pickup truck).
Really a great option for a small space. If you aren’t a skilled DIYer then you’ll either need a professional or a lot of YouTube videos but we did it so I believe in you. Good luck!. Jennifer. NY. 2021-03-21 19:13:05
