Outsunny3 x 3(m) Metal Pergola with Retractable Roof, Garden Gazebo Metal Pergola Canopy. Outdoor Sun Shade Shelter for Party BBQ, Beige

When it arrived it was packaged very well, with lots of bubble wrap and stuff to stop things being scratched. All the parts were labelled and bagged up with like A1, B1, B2, etc. The instructions were all pictoral but if you took the time to match up what you saw with your labelled parts, it was straight forward. It took us the best part of a day to assemble working at a unhurried pace but we were bolting it to the ground. So it took extra time to mark and drill the right holes. It is supplied with both foot pegs and bolts.Once assembled it’s very solid and has a quality feel, even though it was cheaper than the B&Q version. In regards to the measurements, the 3m is from the end of one overhang to the other. The distance from the outer edge of one foot to the other is 2.67m. Inside post to opposite inside post 2.42m, which is what you’ll get as awning cover.

This is a brilliant addition to our garden it looks fantastic, super sturdy but absolutely needs 2 people to put it togetherThe instructions aren't overly clear but when you take time to look at it you'll work it outSize is perfect for our decking area but check your measurementsThe canopy is waterproof, but has breather holes so just ensure you're not sitting under one.

Pleased with quality and easy to assemble good value for money

Although it was a little tricky to put up and definitely needs 2 strongish people the end product is really great. We ended up using the (supplied) base plates with bolts drilled into slabs, but we did have to buy longer bolts than the ones suppled. But really this product is ideal, it looks great and I love the way the awning can be left open or closed. It has helped create a really cosy seating/dining area at the top of the garden. Very happy with this, I imagine it will last a long time.

The pergola is just as seen on amazon. The frame is of sturdy metal construction with a form of powder-coat finish. If you follow the instructions carefully it is simple to construct and erect, but final assembly is a two-person job.I suggest setting out the shape in your garden to make sure it will fit where you intend to erect it before ordering.Ours is sited on a paved patio and has been bolted down - expanding raw-bolts are included in the package which is useful. I'm not sure how secure the assembly would be in windy conditions if only held down by the metal 'tent pegs' also provided, so think carefully before ordering if this is where you intend to put it. Two further good points: The canopy can be removed like taking down a shower curtain, so that it can be stored during the winter, and, the canopy is 100% polyester and is machine washable if required.It would be possible to disassemble the whole frame if necessary [moving house?], but the structure is intended to remain outside as a permanent fixture and appears to be quite durable as long as it is securely anchored.

I bought this back in April. Was immediately surprised with how flimsy the bars and legs felt, especially for something advertised as ‘stable and durable’. Put it up over spring & summer, loved it. Looked nice, and completed the garden. Today, we have experienced some winds in the UK and it has uprooted the pergola entirely! It has caused damage to my fence panels, my dogs playing area, the seating area, and as well as my grass. Absolutely no idea how it has happened, the canopy was rolled back, but the legs are completely snapped and bowed. Poor manufacturing. Advertised as ‘will last years to come’ it didn’t even survive one year. Seller has been contacted. For the money paid (£220) I would have expected at least a couple of years out of it.

Having read the other reviews I was confident that the product was of good quality and would be manageable to assemble largely single handed. I was correct. I did need an extra pair of hands for about 5 minutes in the final stages of bolting the final structure together, but that was all. It took about 4 hours to unpack, assemble and fix to the patio.My recommendations are:1. Take your time and firstly check all the parts are there.2. Follow the instructions for the assembly of the components. The instructions could be a little clearer,( someone else mentioned "like Ikea" in another review) but if you look carefully all the necessary steps are shown.So far I am very happy with the product. The structure is sturdy, the canopy slides easily and the drainage holes prevent the accumulation of water.

Really good product it’s all numbered allow at least four hours though to put it together though definitely need minimum of two people to put in place
