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.

The brackets were good and putting it together was pretty simple. They sent me the wrong size sail and were unapologetic about the mistake. The sail also comes off the clips pretty easily. Knot the straps or get clips to avoid this.

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.

Product color was not as advertised in brochure.
Black advertised was medium grey.
Also limited options.

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.

Easy to assemble, powder coating was perfect. Looks amazing but still got more to do. Wish you guys had a sponsor program so people could use your products at a cheaper price to create more things than you have available on your site. Maybe make a creator on your site where people can take your products and make things like how people build sheds online.
