I purchased enough 6x6 Grid pieces to complete a 12X14 pergola. because the 2 segments were constructed as a 12 x 8 and a 12 x 6, I had to wait until the frame was complete before ordering the shades.
I used pressure treated 6X6 which were VERY heavy but all went together without any issues in about 3 hours with the help of 2 strong helpers.
The shades arrived 2 weeks later and I was able to install them in an hour and they fit perfectly.
I am super pleased with the outcome and would recommend the TOJA GRID to anyone considering a pergola of this type..
