An extremely high quality pergola, delivered to my driveway with easy to assemble instructions. It took a friend and I about 8 hours to fully assemble.
Summary:
The one area I would redo is that I decided after building that a specific Sherwin Williams transparent stain was needed for both protection and to better match my HOA requirements.
Summary:
My advice to all is think hard about whether you want the pergola stained or painted as doing this before the build would have been much easier.
Summary:
However, I assume I'll need to re-coat so it's really only the initial application that would be different. I decided to stain to prevent moisture intrusion as life in southeastern NC is a bit humid for a large part of the year.
Summary:
I would easily recommend this kit to anyone interested in a pergola. We live in NC where hurricanes and high winds are part of the deal so we also ordered the hi-wind, heavy duty post anchors and they sit on 18 inch cement pads that are 24in deep.
