Need some shade in the garden but something better than just an umbellar. With Timber price rocketed how about a pre fab metal pergola with sliding waterproof canopy? Is it any good? Lets find out

“I’m kinda used to doing this stuff alone…” never heard a more accurate description of dad duties
This was so cool. I was looking for a video where it was built on grass. Thanks for sharing!! 💚
I just purchased 2 of these a few days ago putting it together and this video definitely helps ❤
Thanks for uploading that, about to build one i think
Nice job I currently have one sitting in my living in a box ready to install just building the confidence 😊
It’s not hard
Looks great, nice review.
Nice work
OMG I was literally looking at something ike this!!!
Nice video thank you
Hello mate - would it be possible to kindly advise on the width at the base ( not the top transversal bars ) ! Cheers buddy 😊
Can anyone guide me with the canopy i couldn't follow along with yhe video
What are the outside to outside of feet dimension?
what's the length ? 10x 10?
Can you do an update after we've had some rain? My concerns would be that even with the fabric retracted the water would just sit in the dips of the fabric and stain it. Also, those top bolts if you don't completely cover the holes, water will get inside the beams and rust it from the inside out. For £280 though, seems like a bit of a bargain? I imagine in winter, you could take the fabric off the pergola? how long does that take?
All of the above is true, I do not think this is build last and rust could be a problem. The canopy is the most challenging task to put up as it requires screws on both ends and a click joint in the middle. I had a play with the canopy this morning and it has pocket of water in each folds, closing it (collapsed) will take out most of the water. Now in the sun and will dry out quickly. Problem is long cold damp winter, already planning a easier way to allow changing of the canopy, will need some modifications. Cheap test but will it last 😆 not so sure 👍
do you think it will be stable directly put on grass? Is concrete needed for the places where poles are to build a sort of foundation. I worry about the going down of the gazebo overtime.thank you！
I had it directly on grass and it didn’t sink into the soil. Since it is just metal with a coat of paint, I would have the leg/feet on a paving slab just so that it is not always wet to avoid rust over time
@@BCreviews thank you
Hello, can u update how it’s been since the windy months we had? Thinking of getting one
It is still standing but I took off the cover and the ribs since autumn. We had some crazy wind and tbh I don’t think it would survive the wind with the cover opened
@@BCreviews thanks! Very good to know and he’s definitely crazy wind I live in Manchester area so the rain and wind is constant!
Could you say how you took off the cover. I was given this pagoda by my neighbour but the canopy is stained from weathering and I want to wash it.
Not the easiest to do as the cover is fixed with the middle raft. Can be done by undoing one side and the middle raft and slide the poles out. May be spray weak bleach and rinse out on a small area to test without taking it out?
What happens to the water if rains. Just gna build up on top n then what?
Easy job to remove the canopy for the winter and i put a smear of clear silicone on the bolt heads to prevent rusting , I guess it wont last forever but I paid £169 from Wayfair so its not bad for the money and its easy to assemble...took me 2 hours.
An Asian man called Benson, I've seen it all now!!! What's next an Asian man called Winston???🤣😂🤣
Like most Indian call centers we choose a name which Western can easily pounce and remember. I am known as Benson for the last 30 years tho so Benson it is, funny how in 2024 we still find Westerner speak Chinese fascinating which I have been speaking and serving the community in English for the past 25 years :)
