Honest Louvered Pergola Review - Home Improvement
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2022
- We were quoted over $27,000 for a custom installed louvered pergola. We decided instead to buy a DIY Louvered Pergola Kit that we found online that was a fraction of the cost. Was it worth it? Was it easy to install? Does it leak?

How is the louvered cover for water proofing? We are thinking to get one for our deck which is very similar to yours in that it's long and faces the sun all day. But here in Vancouver we also need it for protection against the rain because I'm thinking to put a simple outdoor kitchen under it - mini fridge / grill/ etc. I am researching that this thing has a built in gutter system but not sure how well it works due to the gaps on the leaves of the cover. Thank you!
Great question! I should post a follow up question addressing water specifically. I'll tell you this: the actual pergola does NOT leak from the top. We've had heavy rains and the hurricane Ian sprinkle through, but no water comes from the actual top of the pergola.
That being said, things do get wet under the pergola when rain comes in from the side. So if it's heavy rain or windy, your stuff will get wet. But that's like that for any covered area.
Thanks for commenting! I'll try to post a video soon to show you actual rainy situations. Subscribe if you get a chance :)
We are just considering this product. They make a 6' wide leaves or 8' wide (more expensive). I just saw one demo'd. Really made for useable space outdoors, you can feather in as much sun blockage as you want and then for rain -- it's long rails of aluminum. It's not going to leak from there. Note, even from their demo. It does collect dirt over time and so you'll have to spray it out from time to time.
I’ve never seen anybody rock the ace Ventura hairdo in real life. Magical
Thanks!
Amazing! Great job guys! Can't wait to see it.
Considering an Aluminum DIY Pergola. Thanks for this video.
Thanks for the encouragement Rey! We really love this pergola. I love the height of it, and it is very sturdy too. If you get a chance, please subscribe so we can continue putting out more videos. Thanks!
Looks great guys!
Thanks guys!!!! Miss you!
I’m in the UK and came across this as I’m looking for efficient ways to clean it. I have a 6m version in white and it gets very green with algae in the damp winter we’ve just had. I find jet washing too messy so had a go today with an extendable caravan brush. Took a good few hours given the number of louvres.
When I bought mine and built it I had to dash out and buy three decorative paving slabs to put under the legs nearest the lawn as I have a patio that has a 2 inch fall from the back to the front. You must make sure it’s on level ground. Mine is bolted into concrete.
We’ve had very strong winds this winter and I’ve been impressed with how sturdy the whole structure is although it’s a bit nerve racking when you see it flex a bit. Apart from the pain of cleaning it it’s been a good investment and I agree so much cheaper than other quotes we had. Great fun with non diy family members helping me to build it.
Greetings Chris!!! Thank you for sharing your experience. We've been to the UK several times and have loved it.
We haven't had to wash ours due to the algae, but I can see by the deck boards do get algae where the water runs out. Since it's on the ground, we can easily pressure wash it. I wonder if you're getting algae more due to the climate...
Well done on the paving slabs! Send us some pics of your design!
Thanks for watching and hopefully subscribing!
Nice information thanks for making it.
Thanks for stopping by and saying Hi!
Looks awesome! Might have to add one to our deck!
Thanks for watching, Dan!
You'll love the versatility.
Is it ok if its on a high deck? With the weight of this gazebo?
I've been considering this exact pergola for the past year but was skeptical due to the price. So glad I found your video.

Cool pergola! Does it matter what direction the louvers are with regards to the sun? Do you recommend having a certain end of the pergola towards the east during sun rising, or west during sun setting? Not sure if the tilting works better for a certain orientation. Look forward to your reply. Thanks!
Hi Paul! We don't notice a difference. The pergola louvers open a full 90 degrees so if they're fully open, it doesn't make a difference. We did choose the position so that the arm to Control the louvers was closest to our house... so that was our main factor for how to position it.
Thanks for writing! Don't forget to subscribe ❤
you answered my question about the rain. I'm looking to replace my traditional overhand patio roof with something like this and was wondering about rain protection. I'd butt it up against my house a bit more to avoid the gap. Question: what size did you install? It looks like multiple kits put together, but I guess the extra poles are to support the extra long length.
EDIT: nevermind, I see the sizing options in the description. Thank you!
Thanks for writing! We love hearing from you. It's a 20 x 10 and as you saw in the product link, it's all one unit.
For the rain, the closer you put to the house, the less rain will fall in between the gaps. Based on where you want the louver arm, you may not be able to butt it up flush with your house. The louver arm juts a couple inches from the frame, so just be mindful. Of course if you have the louver arm placed opposite the side closest to the house, than you can butt the pergola flush against the house. Let me know if that makes sense!
Great video! Is the top slight sloped at all for water drainage? I know that it has a gutter system, but with heavy rain a slope would be better.
I am not sure the degree of slope... i do know that the gutter system does work well. Thanks for stopping by!!
Check out our new Short video! We talk about rain!
good, looks nice
Thanks so much!!
Looks great! Im consider the exact one too. but just wondering why it's not very popular in US, I haven't seen any neighbor has one :/
Thanks so much! I think it's not popular because it's still a relatively large cost and fairly new. We took a small risk but it turned out to be perfectly what we needed. This brand (links in description) is very high quality so I'd highly recommend it for a louvered pergola!
Thanks for sharing your experience with this pergola. My husband is hesitant to buy it because the area we would need to put it is directly next to our master bedroom, which is on the second floor. He mentioned that when it rains here in the Pacific Northwest, it will be loud with rain hitting the louvers. What is your experience of the “loudness” during rain?
Thanks for messaging us! I don't think it's that loud (next to our living room). It probably also varies depending on your windows/doors and how much insulation they provide. I'm about to drop a video specifically about this topic in our Shorts feed. Make sure to subscribe if you haven't yet so you can know when it releases. Thanks!
Hi! Did you watch the new shorts video?
Just watching this I think it's funny. I'm an architect as well and last name Huie I'm sure we're related somehow since it was only two brothers that came over from Europe as I understand it :-) thank you for posting this. Definitely looking for something for our home that we're building right now near the Appalachian Trail in North Carolina not sure if it will handle the Highwinds that we have to design too
What are the chances? Great to meet a fellow Huie and an architect! haha. So Dan's family name is Huie (Chinese descent). What a coincidence! Are you designing your own house? That would be a dream of ours!
I was told that two brothers came in from Europe. One settled in the New York area. The other settled in the Arkansas region. Yet you never know we may be of Oriental descent. I know I have some Cherokee according to my mother one of my great great grandmothers.
Yes, I design my own home it's right on the Appalachian Trail we're at 4000 feet and being built out of ICF the roof which right now we had a concrete pour scheduled for this week. It got postponed and hopefully not until spring because it got too cold not a large home just about 2000 ft.² total of three roof pitches, all 2 to 12 two lower roofs were supposed to be poured this week with a third one. The upper one poured in early spring they may all be poured then don't know.
Are you still pleased with your shade structure looking at it though I don't know that it'll work for us. I need something that can stand closer to 140 mile an hour winds I had to design to that I think I would settle for something that could withstand closer to 100. We clocked 60 mile an hour on our wind gage so far. If you haven't picked up all this is voice dictation I have a severe case of dyslexia, and I use voice dictation to write everything so please forgive any big issues
@@HouseofHuie
I'm thinking about buying, so thanks for the informative video! If I may ask, what is the height from the ground to the top and bottom of the perimeter rails? Thanks in advance.
Hi Bill! That is a great question and one of the reasons we chose this pergola. Per the specs (check out the Amazon link to be sure), the inside height is 7 foot 9 and 3/32 inches. Outside height is 8 foot 2... Some other pergolas were a little shorter. We wanted it to be as high as possible so it felt bigger.
I think there are other pergolas that might be taller, but this worked for our budget.
Hey guys, awesome louvre! I've got a quick question please - how did you guys secure the louvre to the deck? I'd assume not all of the mounts would be over a joist, correct?
So we would recommend adding some blocking (i.e. 2x4) under the deck where you plan to mount. Ours came with concrete screws, but you'll need to get some nuts and bolts that work for deck application. The pergola legs have a cover that hide the bolts so you won't see them.
Did you get the pergola or are you still thinking about it?

I just got quoted over $150,000 for two 12'' x 16' fully screened zones and a 12' x '5' zone with one shade screen. I expired on the spot and have recently come back to life.
Fantastic comment! Hahah.
Thanks for giving us the real life breakdown! It definitely is a lot more expensive to have someone build something of that magnitude for you. I hope you find something that works for you!! What are you leaning towards now?
@@HouseofHuie Might do a Trex Pergola, but haven't priced that out yet so 🤷♀
@@marceinthemountains some of those have a really sleek look. Let me know what you discover!
Chekout Hanso Pergola. They can work something out with you on the price!
Wooouuuuu i buy too
It really does look good. I like the flexibility of it in different sorts of weather. And the savings was definitely worth it. Your teamwork paid off and you did a really nice job. *Love your hair dude!! ~ New Subscriber*
Thank you so much for writing! We love hearing from you. I'm so glad you like it. It's been a life saver for us on the hot days.
Also I appreciate the hair love!!!
How do you know the structural integrity? Like putting it on top of a deck like the weight that your deck and hold… did you have to drill the poles down in any way?
Hi Jay! Thanks for stopping by. Based on their website, it is 650 lbs total and can handle winds of 65-70 mph if it's bolted down.
I would recommend anchoring the poles down once you determine the best location. Ours is not currently anchored down, but we will get to it in the near future.
I wonder how it would fair in a hail storm? In Texas, we get a hail a couple times a year sometimes up to quarter size.
We've had hail, but I can't say it's as "big as Texas!" Hahah. So far we've had this for 2 years and it's held up.
Considering a pergola. Do you notice if the luminosity in the house right behind the pergola to have been affected? One of my fears is to install one and than have the kitchen be darker.
Great Great question and consideration. We had that same thought.
Short answer: there is probably some loss of light. How much? Hard to calculate. If your pergola is going to be placed right up against your house, i have to imagine that you will lose some light.
If you leave a gap between the pergola and the house, than you will get some of that light back into the house.
@@HouseofHuie thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I might try to replicate it with cheap wood or mdf to make a trial before committing. Again, thank you so much for the input and information.
I purchased this pergola a while back and I was curious how you anchored it to your wood deck. It came with 16 expansion screws which for my use didn't make sense. I ended up using the expansion screws only where I could sink them into a joist for the rest I purchased lag screws.
Very cool! How do you like it thus far?
As of today, we haven't anchored it into our wooden deck. We haven't had issues with it moving, but that's not to say that it shouldn't be anchored. We are going to be replacing all our deck boards in the next couple months so we're holding off on anchoring for now. By the way, what deck boarding do you use? We're debating between hardwood and composite...
Composite, for sure!@@HouseofHuie
@@HouseofHuie Sorry I didn't catch this earlier. My deck is hardwood. Composite is much superior (and expensive) in which case I would get professional advice on how to anchor your pergola. Lag screws are the best choice for wood IMHO, longer ones if you wish to sink it into a joist. In hindsight I would toss the expansion bolts that came with the kit. I think they're designed for concrete applications.
Wondering about the strong wind if it does damage the louvred pergola? Do you leave the roof open or close during super windy days?
Great question! Not sure the rating but it can hold up to super windy days. I haven't bothered to open the roof during windy days. It hasnt moved due to wind or rain. No issues so far.
That being said: 1. Bolt it down to the ground. 2. In extreme weather, (i.e. the latest hurricance), I would open up the louvers. 3. Not all pergolas are built the same.
It's only rated at 60 miles an hour for wind and 12 lb per square foot for snow you only get what you pay for. Comparing it to a higher-quality pergola, which is about $3,400 more. The differences are obvious! The weight discrepancy 300 lb vs 1800 lb. Single layered louvers versus double-layered louvers which allowed to be quieter when it rains, and cooler when the sun is beating on it. 6 post required verses 4posts required wind rating 60 Miles an hour versus 130 miles an hour. Snow load 12 lb per square foot versus 80 pounds per square foot. Only 5 in of wet snow will exceed 12 pounds per square foot. Operation of louvers manual vs. Motorized. Height of ceiling seven foot 9 inches versus 9 ft 19 x 13 pergola 11999 dollars versus 20 x 12 pergola $15,300. Budget-friendly pergola versus high-quality pergola.
@@robertmccloy4811 You know all this for sure because you own this so called high end pergola and tested it in all the conditions? Asking for a friend.
@@robertmccloy4811What product did you use for your higher end comparison?
We also have a big deck and just not sure if our deck can support the weight of a pergola or gazebo
Hi! Just check the specs listed on the link in the description. It should be a good guide
Is this the Costco one? Do you need to bold the frame to the joists?
Hi Quang! This is not the Costco one. I included the link in our description. I believe the Costco one is slightly shorter than the one we got.
We also do need to bolt the frame to the joists
Have you had any problems with your pergola since you purchased it I have the same one and we just survived a terrible winter and now my pergola is very loose and I'm trying to figure out a way to tighten it up because a lot of the bolts won't tighten anymore It swings back and forth in the wind
Hi Tony! We haven't had any issues with it. I'm sorry you've had issues. Do you think it was wind or snow related?
Our structure is still sturdy, and I haven't even thought about retightening things.
What is your thought on (2) 10x20 side by side? Could I use a common post for both to alleviate a double post side by side?
Hi there! Thanks for the great question! Unfortunately I don't think it's a great idea with this specific model. There isn't a way to use the posts that come with the pergola as a double. Are you looking for a large square shaped pergola? Does it have to be 20' by 20'?
@@HouseofHuie Thanks for the reply - yes I need a 20x20 so I may just have to build it.
How did you hang the string lights on the aluminum frame?
Hi Tom! We used Christmas lights hangers. Thanks for watching!
When it rains on the roof, does it make a big noise?
Not too much
I live by the beach and we have plenty of salt, sand and most outdoor items eventually get rusted....so will this product with stand salt and sand??
Since it's powder coated, it should be okay, BUT we think you'd need "marine-grade" materials to be safe. Google marine grade furniture for some ideas
how do you think it would hold up in winter with the
snow?
I think it would be fine as long as you open the louvers so that the snow doesn't stack up on top. The manufacturer recommends not to let the weight of the snow stay on top. We haven't had a lot of snow so I don't have personal experience though.
Thanks for stopping by! Like and Subscribe if you can 🥰
Do you get snow where you are? If so, how has it held up?
@davidg5290 we are in the Philly suburbs so we do get snow from time to time. So far it's been fine. However you should open the louvers so that the snow doesn't stack up on top. The manufacturer recommends not to let the weight of the snow stay on top. We forgot to do that a couple times this winter, but thankfully it is still operational! I don't know how much snow you get though.

Hey mate. May I know where did you purchase the louver system kit please?
Hi! Check out the link in description for the exact pergola we purchased! We've had it for 2 years now and have been super happy with it.
how is the build quality? I saw somebody on another video define the aluminum parts as "easy to bend and to scratch"
Hi! Great question! We've had this pergola for almost 2 years and haven't had any issues with bending or scratching. We posted a short video just to show how it looked as it was snowing... looks pretty similar to when we first got it. We've had storms and heavy winds and rain. I don't notice anything significant.
For the price, I think it's a great product. If you can spend a little more, you'll get q better product I'm sure. Just depends on your budget.
Don't forget to hit subscribe as we plan to do an update this year on the pergola!
How is this holding up since you've released the video. Any rust or other issues with it?
It's been great! No issues with rust.
Check out our Shorts video from a month ago. It shows that it's still NOT leaking water from the louvers.
Is it heavy? My deck is ten years old I don’t want anything heavy on it but this looks quite relatively lightweight
Per the link, the weight of the pergola is 650 lbs. It's distributed among 6 legs, so theoretically that is about 4 to 6 adults standing on your deck at all times... Without seeing your deck in-person, we wouldn't be able to give you feedback on whether your deck is strong enough... please let me know what you decide!!
Hi is it noisey in the wind at all? We are thinking of purchasing one thanks
Hi Daniel (Great name BTW)!
It hasn't been noisy for us. Even if it's breezy outside, we haven't ever noticed the pergola rattling or making noise. Now granted if it's really windy (storm conditions, Nor'Easter's), we're not outside. In those conditions, we don't hear the pergola from inside our home.
Please stop by and let us know how you like the pergola if you go for it or if you need any install tips! Thanks for messaging us. If you can like and subscribe, we'd be grateful!
Thanks for the reply very helpful we are going to look at them tomorrow 👍🏾
Is there any possibility to hang a TV from anywhere inside this pergola?
I don't think so

What about snow? Can it hold a foot of snow load? Also, how big can these Pergolas get? Are there 3m x 6m ones available?
Hi Jupiter! We haven't had snow yet, but they recommend opening up the louvers so the snow falls through. Check out the link on description for the weight load and also the various size options. They do come in different sizes to fit your needs. Thanks for stopping by. If you can subscribe, you'd be out of this world! :)
You may save Thousands of dollars, with this Costco/Wayfair kit. But the thickness in material with these cheaper kits are not built very durable. The snow load and wind load on these kits are minimal. They recommend removing the louvers at min wind speeds and just 10lbs per square foot of snow load. Other larger name brand pergolas are thicker and wider posts and the louvers are made of much thicker material to that you can actually walk on with load ratings of 242lbs per square meter. They are cheaper but if you get high winds and snow it’s best to spend the money on something more durable
Is it noisy when it rains ?
Generally we're inside the house when it rains so we don't hear much noise. I would say it's moderate to negligible
What the brand and model? Thanks
Hi! We included all the info in the link in the description. Thanks for stopping by!!
It’s like the commercial where they say pergolas or 27,000 and then go into tap on the link. Are you doing a commercial for them or is this actually an independent review?
This is a 100% independent review.

@@fritzs1207 we haven’t had any of the louvers leak and we have had it for a couple years now. The water won’t seep in from the top.

@@LissetteLissie thank you for catching that!! 😄
That's rated only to 30-40mph. In California, we had gusts over 50mph. Everyone needs to do your due diligence, so you don't end up finding your pergola in your neighbors back yard
Can withstand 46mph if unbolted to ground homie.
you got him bro woooh @@MrBugfarts
This looks like an imitation of the made-in-Sweden Hanso Pergola. The Hanso comes with a 10-year warranty, and it looks like there is no warranty with this one. But $2500 vs $10k for the Hanso is a BIG difference (Albeit, the Hanso is wider @ 13x20 vs 10x20)
How did you mount on the deck?
We actually haven't mounted it yet. Noele and I are still debating the final location so we haven't secured it down yet. The kit does come with lag bolts though. We intend to secure them into our deck by placing additional 2×4 boards underneath the deck where we will secure them. I'll post a new video when we get to that point.
So far it hasn't blown over but I would definitely secure it!
@@HouseofHuie great！Waiting for your next video! I ordered from Costco and they ship with CEVA logistics, now they missed my third appointment on delivery. I really don’t know if I will eventually get it. This logistic company is sooooo bad.
Where do you get kit? What was your kit total cost please?
@@BabsW-k7b i provided the link in the description . Hope that helps!
Hey! Great DIY! However for those that can afford it, let me explain why there is no reason to believe that $21,000 is too much for a pergola from a company like StruXure, and if you can afford it, there is no reason you shouldn’t have it.
StruXure Pergolas are 100% American made from aircraft grade, 1/4” thick aluminum that is powder coated in a 5 step marine grade process made to withstand salt on ocean shores, and corrosion. They are built to automate the protection of your patio investments. With an integrated rain sensor the pergola closes on its own at the first drops of rain. The wind sensor opens the pergola automatically in wind speeds above 65mph to prevent uplift. Forgot to close it? No worries, StruXure’s pergolas are ready to integrate with your smart phone from across the world, or across the yard.
Furthermore a StruXure pergola is engineered exactly to fit your need, meaning not only is is built to withstand hurricane force winds, heavy snow loads, and will be designed for you based on your counties seismic requirements, but it also is permitted. That means if something ever were to go wrong that caused damage to your house from your patio covering, it would be covered by your home owners insurance. You wont get that with a DIY job and I can tell you, putting this DIY model on your deck ABSOLUTELY needs to be permitted in their county.
But hey, you don’t even have to count on you home owners insurance because if something went wrong on a StruXure that caused damages to your home, StruXure with their lifetime installation warranty would be responsible. That is because StruXure handles every last detail of this system, from design and concept, measuring, engineering, manufacturing and install, with our own W2’d America employed, insured master installers.
This is a great DIY. However, the value that a luxury pergola brand like StruXure is incomparable. Not only do you add the same square footage this DIY model does, but that square footage is actually backed with an average 50-80% return on investment when you sell your house. I guarantee that this cheaper rolled aluminum DIY project will not be standing well in 15 years, while StruXures are built to last a lifetime.

What about snow? I live in chicago
Hi Jim! Great question. We had about two snowstorms this year where we averaged about 5 to 8 inches each time. The pergola vendor recommends opening up the louvers before it snows so that the snow doesn't pile up on the pergola... we FORGOT to do that. The snow piled up on it so we couldn't open up the louvers. We had to wait until it mostly melted. That being said, the pergola is still working fine and completely operational! So I would always follow manufacturer recommendations to open up louvers before snow, but we didn't and it did fine.
Does it have gutters so the rain drains?
Yes it does! The gutters lead the rain to the inside of the columns so the rain goes out the bottom of the columns.
Thanks for writing and let us know if you have any other questions! Hope you can subscribe!
@@HouseofHuie This may be an impossible question for U but I’ll try. We are in CA. We have a company coming next week for a quote on an attached patio structure……about 9 by 15 or so. Are these louvered pergolas available in CA and ball park figure for a licensed contractor to construct? Thank you.
@user-pm4ef8yu7w hi! These are available in California and can be delivered via Amazon. Check out our link in the description. Once you receive it, you can have a contractor install it for you (or do it yourself if you're up to the task).
Prices will vary of course. If you wanted to have a custom pergola built that is attached to your house, that will definitely cost more, but it will look amazing! It will probably have better function overall too. However it may cost you significantly more.
Hope that helps!
@@HouseofHuie Thanks. We may run it by the contractor and get his opinion. I’ll let U know. 👍🏻
@@user-pm4ef8yu7w please keep us updated!!
How has it held up to high wind?
We haven't had any issues with standard winds. We also haven't had any tornadoes come through so we don't have evidence for that. We recommend you bolting it down of course. All in all we've been super happy with it. It's been nearly a year since we purchased it and have had no issues.
Is this the Hanso Pergola?
Hi there! This is not the Hanso. Check out the link for the full manufacturer details. Let me know if you have any questions!
제품명이 뭔가요??
Hi! Thanks for watching! Here's the link to the product: amzn.to/3Dn52zx
Is is sturdy tho?
We've had it for a year and haven't had any issues at all. It's been very sturdy.
There are high wind rating (check the link for exact details), but so far in our Philly region we've experienced no issues.
Thanks for stopping by. Drop us a like and subscribe if you can!
Does the rain come through? And does it have like gutters build in to it? Or how does it prevent the water from rain from coming in??
The rain doesn't come through the top. It has a drain on one of the legs. There are channels that run alongside to bring the rain to the drain.
Rain can get in from the open sides if its heavy rain and windy.
Check out our new Short video about rain!
Wait, how much did it cost?
Hi there! It was around $3,300. However Amazon regularly has it on sale. Check out the link in bio for the latest deals
Is it permitted?
Our township doesn't require a permit for this. Thanks!
Where do you live that prices are so high? It looks like this is not electric one but manual, so should be way cheaper than 27k with installation. The electric ones have sun sensors and rain detectors but these are the ones that would cost 27k, not a manual one.
The 27K was from one of the fully automated, electric louvered pergola brands which covered installation too. When we took at a look at the cost/benefit analysis, we decided to go with this manual one. We would have loved to gotten one of those completely automated ones, but it was a huge investment and would also permanently commit us to our deck design... which is in flux!
@@HouseofHuie Thanks for explanation. Unfortunately I live at the coast. So DIY pergolas will corrode fast here if it's not pre-anodised. The cost difference is huge ofcouse.
What’s this man’s monthly hair gel budget?
Hahaha. Should I do a video on how I do it? I think it will surprise folks
How much was it?
@@vaquerareggaetonera hi! It was around $3000, but check out the link in the description to find out real time prices. Thanks!
Why the hell are contractor quoting $30,000?
It was the total installed price for a pergola with automated mechanical louvers that connected to your house. Pretty awesome product but very $$$
that deck is bigger than some apartments.
100%.
We totally agree this is a “1st world” problem!
@@HouseofHuie Beautiful home, beautiful family. You're blessed.
@@GalacticTradingPost thanks so much! God bless!
you get what you pay for. For the $27k the system might have been mounted straight to the house so there would be no gap. And maybe gutter system to direct water flow instead of it going all over. Also it would have been designed for the house and not out of a box and install by professional and have a life time warrenty. Help I work for a company that does just those things.
Much respect to your trade and expertise! If you can afford and want a permanent pergola installed, than by all means go for the top option. I just know that many may not have that luxury.
Regarding the water, check out our latest Shorts video for how it deals with rain.
I could just imagine how damn noisy it is when it rains .
When we are inside our house, we don't notice any extra noise. If we're outside, then it can be louder. Check out our Shorts video where we play the violin outside to get a feel of the noise.
You americans pronounce Pergola wrong. Otherwise good video
@@MrDeano-eu9rg hahah. Are you British? I'm wondering the correct pronunciation now. I promise to look up the correct way if you subscribe!
This feels like a paid promotion vs a review
Thanks for stopping by! This is definitely not a paid promotion. We purchased this for the price listed and decided to share it with the world. We weren't paid by the vendor to make the video either. I appreciate your perspective though! Much love.
What's with the haircut bro?
