PergoSTET Pergola Review<\/h2>\n

\"PergoSTET<\/p>\n

What Are You Buying?<\/h2>\n

1. Ready to Assemble Pergola<\/h3>\n

The PergoSTET pergola comes ready to assemble. It\u2019s a full size pergola, so it\u2019s obviously not a 10-minute job to set it up. But it\u2019s designed for DIY assembly. Two or three people should be able to put it together in 2-3 hours.<\/p>\n

The biggest advantage of the PergoSTET pergola over a traditional one is that you can have a complete shade in your garden almost instantly. Just a couple of hours and you are enjoying your new pergola instead of waiting days or weeks to build one from scratch.<\/p>\n

You can also take it down just as quickly, which is handy if you are renting or if you want to move it to another location.<\/p>\n

2. Strong, Durable and Lightweight<\/h3>\n

The PergoSTET pergola has an aluminium construction, which makes it lightweight enough for easy assembly. But it\u2019s still strong and highly durable. And since it is aluminium, you don’t have to worry about corrosion. It can weather all kinds of elements.<\/p>\n

3. Three Sizes & Colours<\/h3>\n

You can order the PergoSTET pergola in three sizes: a 3 x 4m rectangular option and two square options measuring 3 x 3m and 4 x 4m.<\/p>\n

If you have a small family or are planning to get the pergola just for yourself, the small 3 x 3m size will do. For larger families or if you plan to entertain in the pergola, get the 3 x 4m or the larger 4 x 4m.<\/p>\n

Also check how much space you have to ensure the pergola fits in your garden or yard.<\/p>\n

As for style, you can pick from three pergola colours: white, grey and wood effect.<\/p>\n

4. Can Be Used in any Weather<\/h3>\n

The PergoSTET pergola is designed to be used in sun or rain thanks to the tilting louvred roof. Using a crank you can open the louvres to allow sunshine through while still enjoying some shade, or close them up to create a closed roof when you need complete shade or to shelter the pergola from rain or snow.<\/p>\n

By the way, don’t worry about drainage when it\u2019s raining. The PergoSTET pergola has a well-designed drainage system built into it. Water from the closed roof of the pergola flows into channels that direct it towards the legs of the pergola where it flows onto the ground.<\/p>\n

So you\u2019ll never see any rainwater dripping from the pergola roof.<\/p>\n

5. Three Inset Blinds (With the Option of a Fourth)<\/h3>\n

In addition to the adjustable roof, the PergoSTET pergola comes with three drop sides that provide extra protection from the elements. You can raise or lower the blinds depending on the weather.<\/p>\n

The durable and weather-proof textilene blinds are set into the beams of the pergola frame, making them more sturdy. This minimises their movement when it\u2019s windy.<\/p>\n

With the roof and the three drop sides, you essentially have an almost fully sheltered outdoor room that you can enjoy in any season. You can go even further and make the PergoSTET pergola fully enclosed by adding a fourth blind. You\u2019ll need to contact Harbour Lifestyle for advice on doing this.<\/p>\n

How Easy Is It To Assemble?<\/h2>\n

Assembling the PergoSTET pergola is not hard, but it takes time. There are lots of parts to put together and you need to follow the instructions carefully. The instruction manual is easy to understand and there\u2019s even a video<\/a> you can follow.<\/p>\n

The manufacturer recommends two or three people to assemble the pergola. It is essential that you set it up on a flat surface, to ensure the drainage system works well. They also recommend using the included bolts to secure the pergola to the floor for added stability.<\/p>\n

If you are not able to set up the pergola yourself, Harbour Lifestyle offers a nationwide pergola assembly service. It costs \u00a3499 and includes free delivery and installation.<\/p>\n

What Accessories Are Included?<\/h2>\n

The PergoSTET pergola comes with everything you need to set it up including the three drop sides. All you need are some basic tools (highly recommend electric screwdriver) to assemble it.<\/p>\n

The pergola also includes LED mood lighting strips around the gutters. These add a nice touch to the pergola especially at night. You can adjust the colour of the lights using an included remote control.<\/p>\n

Optional accessories include a fourth blind and a PergoSTET Wifi & Bluetooth ceiling Heater (you can get one for free when ordering the pergola). You can also add your own lights to the pergola.<\/p>\n
