Backyard Discovery Brendan Sail Shade Cedar Wood Outdoor Patio Pergola with Canopy and Powerport 3.7m x 3.1m (12ft x 10ft)

We desperately needed to add shade to our backyard ahead of what we expect will be a very hot summer. I opted for the shade sail pergola instead of a full pergola because I want to be able to remove the shade sail in the winter to get as much sun as possible. Bonus - it's cheaper and quite simple to put together! The actual structure was - dare I say - easy to put together with two people. I did the parts inventory, reviewed directions, and would collect the necessary tools and fasteners for each step of the project, then hand over to my husband to assemble. Rinse and repeat. The only challenges we had were related to our non-traditional choice of installation method (using deck foot anchors from DecksGo - I suppose outing myself might void the warranty but it was the best choice for us). It just required us to make a few adjustments on the fly. We haven't been able to use it yet as it rained for 3 days since we installed, but very much looking forward to it. We will eventually build out a more proper patio but this allowed us to get it in the ground and then we can do the rest of the work under the shade. Highly recommend this as an affordable and easy solution to adding shade.

This pergola completely transformed my outdoor space. My back deck was looking so sad until I decided to purchase this Brendan Sail Shade Pergola. It's exactly what I needed for my backyard space and it was super easy for 2 people to put together. Not only did it beautify my space but it also keeps the hot sun off me and my furniture so I can actually enjoy being outdoors!

Assembly was easy and parts are good quality. We stained the parts to match our existing structures before assembling. It looks very nice!

This sail shade was exactly what we needed for our new deck. It is the perfect size and provides the necessary shade to make our patio usable during the summer months. It was easy to assemble and even provides locations to hang lights, very nice touch! Overall, we are so happy with Backyard Discovery and their products.

Bought 1month ago and love it. Well designed. I did feel I needed to add knee braces for any heavy weather but really makes a nice space outdoors
