PURPLE LEAF 10' x 13' Outdoor Retractable Pergola with Sun Shade Canopy Patio Metal Shelter for Garden Porch Beach Pavilion Natural Wood Grain Frame Gazebo Modern Yard Grill Pergola

The rating is based on value for the price, overall it is an average quality product but the price compared to other items on the market makes it a great value.My son and I took about four hours to assemble. For comparison, we are pretty experienced with this type of work so consider that to be in the lower part of the likely time scale. It takes two people to assemble, and there are a couple steps where you really have to think through it with two. A third set of hands would be extremely helpful. Until the installation of the sun shade it can be done with 1 ladder, but you'll need at least a 2 step stool and a nearly 6' person along with a person on a step ladder to complete that.If you don't have a screw gun or drill with allen bits, don't even try to assemble this The included wrenches will never do it and you'd take days. There are over 100 screws to install.May of the parts fit very tight, especially the plates that join the posts and headers. Can be a bit of a challenge to get them aligned, but they fit. But, I was amazed at how sturdy they are after assembly.The instructions are excellent, the big blue Swedish folks would be jealous. Diagrams are well detailed and include great pictures that help you understand how the various parts align. Follow them step by step,Finally, the packaging was unreal. Parts inside of parts, some very well designed caps that protect the posts from damage. All parts included and well marked to make assembly easier.The only negative and its a tiny one, is the lights are generic and I wish there were mounts or places to attach them.

This pergola looks great. It was easy to assemble with two adults. Everything has held up over the two years I have owned it, but the side rollers and center plastic rollers broke and I can't find replacement parts. I'm waiting to hear back from Purple Leaf.I contacted the company and they got the correct parts to me in a timely fashion. My inquiry about replacement parts was answered quickly.

This was perfect for our small backyard. There were some slight misalignments with a few of the holes but it was easy to work around. I reached out to the seller and they were great. Offered a full replacement but I’d already made it work so they gave me a partial refund which was cool of them. Also had to make a couple of cuts to make it fit against the house and that was pretty easy as well.Overall this is a great product and definitely worth the price.

The media could not be loaded. Writing this after assembly. If I have issues with long term quality, I'll come back and update. :)Fairly easy to assemble. A few holes needed to be fixed so the screws would line up. We had one challenge with the instructions for the curtain but the seller was quick to respond and check in. No missing parts.The shade quality has been wonderful so far and the retractable nature of the canopy is cool. We'll see how the cover fares under protection during rain, and how the poles hold up during snow.Big fan of how the wood looks on the aluminum and have gotten several neighbor compliments.Last step will be screwing it into the pavers, which the anchors and screws were included.

Don’t waste your money. The aluminum frame is flimsy and easily bent - most of the pieces were dented in on delivery. There is a hook to keep the fabric awning retracted when it’s windy, that was too weak and did not hold it in place, so on windy days the wind would pull the awning around and break the poles. I ordered the version with lights, there’s no system to hold the lights up, you have to improvise that. I purchased this about 4 months ago and it’s already broken in multiple places, I’m taking it down this weekend and replacing it. It was installed properly, I don’t have kids or a lot of guests damaging it, the pergola was damaged just by normal weather. Do yourself a favor and buy something else, this one is cheap and flimsy.

We absolutely love our pergola! This is a high quality pergola that looks amazing around our hot tub. We can now enjoy our hot tub when it’s raining or snowing by just sliding over the canopy! We also installed blinds to the sides of it for extra privacy. If you have a hot tub, this is a game changer! Also, Customer service is top notch! Would highly recommend!

Customer service refunded me for the curtains. I’ll rate this from 1 to 3 stars, since customer service resolved my issue. Still need to figure out what to do with the curtains. Hopefully the manufacturer can fix their design issue.The reason I wanted this pergola was for the privacy curtain. The curtain was never installed, because the holes to screw them in was only a hole and never designed for the curtains. I tried working with the manufacturer for a replacement beam, but I was told to drill screws myself! My experience and reasons not to buy this pergola:1. Bad design. Curtains will not be assembled2. Holes do not match to screw in. Be prepared to use multiple screws after they are forced in.3. Instructions are not detailed enough. I had to figure out why parts don’t fit and uninstall to reinstall.4. Cheap aluminum5. Expect curtains to ship separately from pergola.6. Missing parts and had to buy at the store.7. Customer Service sucks8. Top canopy gets snagged in the middle of the rail and isn’t a smooth open and close

I have been looking for an alternative to a sun shade for our deck and came across this pergola but didn’t buy it right away. Then it was updated to add a rain guard that’s when I decided to buy. Now it was a bit of awkwardness to put up but not terrible. Very pleased with how it looks and it seems to be sturdy. Now what I am disappointed with is the feature that sold me, the rain guard. Now it does protect the retractable fabric from filling completely with water but the guard itself fills with water and sags a bit.Overall, I’m happy with my purchase and can now enjoy some shade while lounging on the deck.
