Paragon Outdoor Florence Aluminum Pergola 11x11 - Convertible Canopy

We love the pergola. Received it pretty quickly. The communication on when it was shipped, when we might receive it, etc was lacking. We called but the person we spoke to had no clue whether it was shipped or not. So that was a bit strange. But all worked out well and we are happily using our pergola now.

Really good product in my opinion. It’s lite enough to maneuver but strong enough to be lasting. The tarp is purus but really blocks the sun. Not difficult to assemble, I was planning to hire someone then I got my drill and got in there a boom it was almost done, follow the advice and have 3 people.

I bought this because the top is more open than a traditional pergola that has 2 layers of perpendicular slats on top. The open feeling of the parallel braces is what I wanted with the ability to also shade completely if desired. The woven poly fabric used for the sliding shade is durable and heavy. It is similar to the material used on umbrellas that can be power washed and last forever. The finish really looks like wood! The shade it provides is complete. Yet when it it open it is so airy. Magnets in the frame hold the shade slide to one side when no shade is required. It was tricky to put together. Many steps but easy to follow with the guide. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants both sun and fill shade choices in a beautiful design!

Love love love my pergola! Everyone thinks it's wood until they touch it, but it's so much lighter than wood, making the assembly so much easier for weak li'l ol' me. My husband and I put this together in a few hours, and we enjoy it almost daily. Looking forward to even using it in the winter with the help of a fire pit and maybe a patio heater. Highly recommend this pergola.

The assembly was pretty straightforward, just a little lacking in some detail. Got to a point where we had to disassemble and make some adjustments. But other than that it was good! We love the finished product!
