Top notch!! great product
With a little creativity we were able to build a 16x 20 space on my back deck that is just delightful and should hold up perfectly through the long harsh vermont winters
I will add side curtains this fall to extend the season a bit

The toja grid system is very easy to setup and put together with a few caveats depending on application. I purchased the wall mounted kit, which needed to attach to siding underneath our eaves trough and soffit. I wanted it a few inches from this. Making this happen due to the enclosed nature of the bracket was a challenge as I couldnt just set the top frame on top and lean it into the wall because of the constraints of my deck. This had to have the vertical posts flexed outward to force in the cross beam after the two sides were assembled and attached. In addition to this I'm really disappointed that the measurements of the sail were not on the website, only the outer dimensions of the entire assembly. I would have ordered the 8x10 but was concerned the sail would be too large for my space which wasn't within the dimensions of the posts. As such I ordered the 8x8 kit which is too short as the sail is about a foot shorter all around. So to sum up, they need to add accurate sail dimensions on the site on the kit pages as well as make the corner posts more adaptable for the wood. I would imagine an overlap of the corner pieces that couples when fastened together would allow for posts to be inserted more easily and broaden the applications for the product.

Was happy with every aspect of the build. I wanted to put the screws and caps in every hole on the brackets was disappointed that I couldn't just buy the caps. I mean I get it, they want to sell you the high priced screws with it, but after spending over $1000 on brackets and shade sails you think they would sell you the black plastic caps. Wasn't asking for something free.

Assemble in "45 minutes" ... Not if you're doing a 10'x12' unit. It took me 4½ days doing it by myself. Attached the 45° braces without any idea how long to make them. Otherwise looks good. Wish parts weren't so expensive

Love our "double" pergola, used 4 x 4's and sunshade on one half and am customizing other 8x8 half with conventional 2x4 rafter/joists? Will send photos as project is completed. Only issue was fitting 4x4's due to internal welds being thick in spots. Just took my time and sanded till they fit completely. Thanks, Art

Great system for custom sizes! We had unique building restrictions and thus the recommended building instructions from the manufacturer did not apply. This made it very challenging to assemble. It took us 2 days to complete the project and a lot of frustration. We ordered the custom shade sails too and they are spectacular! We get a lot of compliments and we love the shade and out door paradise it has given us.

Expensive, but impressive! Took a lot longer than an hour to assemble. Screws are embarrassing, for that price include more, longer, black finished fastners.

Product is great quality but put in the price all the screws to fill all the holes. Attention to detail. Thanks Andrew
