I LOVE this product. It’s very well made, very sturdy, simple to install and totally portable if we move.
Our space is tiny, so it looks a little large at the moment. I think we are going to continue to tweak it - maybe shorten the lumber a little (height and width). I love that it is so customizable for each individual situation.

This system is so easy, fast, sturdy. Great price and will out last any kit from the big box store. I did most myself but had my wife help to lift it up to finish it. The size is 20 x 12 and took about 2.5 hours till I was sitting under it enjoying it. I chose to have mine free standing. But it can be directly attached to my home.
Thank you for a great product!

If you're looking for high quality patio furniture that is high in value and functionality, go with Toja. The fact that you can purchase a Pergola from Toja and assemble it by yourself or with one other person within 45 minutes is truly remarkable. Great stuff.

Second time I have built a Toja grid pergola. Was an easy build. Toja grid product very easy to work with. Only issue is very stingy on screws (didn't have enough to put 3 screws/joint). I had some screws left from previous built that helped.

We just built a 14x16 deck using the double set of brackets and they were great. I read some comments about the wood being difficult to fit into the brackets but that's not the fault of the brackets, it's the nature of wood. We had one 14 foot span and naturally there was a curve to the beam, so we had to chamfer all 4 corners of one end to get it to fit. If I can offer 1 tip it would be to have a wood file or hand plane or better yet, a power hand planer....boy do I wish I had one! The sizing of the brackets is just right, any bigger and the lumber would have a sloppy fit. Our build was on an upper level deck, within the confines of a railing, so that posed challenges too. Another tip is to either chamfer or round over the corners of all the corners of the post so they start into the brackets easier, especially when you're trying to do that 8 feet in the air!
I'm always leery about buying online because I can't see and feel the quality of the product but these Toja brackets are good and sturdy with quality finishing.
Yes, they cost more but I was proud to be supporting a Canadian company!!

This is a great system. Totally interchangeable and easy to use. I would have likes to have a few extra screws, but no big problem. I used the pieces to rebuild the railings on my deck. making them 8 feet high. I will hang planters between the posts adding some additional privacy as well as adding colour and beauty to the finished area.
It is easy to install. the only drawback is the price. When I build a lower deck or pour a concrete pad, I will more than likely use this to build a shady pergola for respite from the sun.

Toja system is overall fantastic. I inherited 2 previous top shades, approx 4 or 5 years old), 10 x 10 & 8 × 10, they completely fell apart at the stitiching (stitching completely disintigrated). Seeing this prompted a full replacement of them both. I love the product, but seeing how expensive replacements are makes me question affordability in the long term.
