We purchased the kit for the GRID 30 for 4x4 wood posts. It was for a small open courtyard area that divides the front from the back of our downtown Toronto townhouse. Three walls of glass and a stuccoed brick wall that separates our outdoor area from that of the mirror-image townhouse beside us. A bit of a location challenge. We had to figure out how to build the pergola within the space it would stand on. Thanks to my son-in-law, a flash back to classroom lessons on Archimedes’ observations about levers, along with readings about how the carvers on Rapa Nui likely walked their Moai from the quarry to their platforms, we managed to complete the frame without accident..and thanks in great measure to the design and precision of the brackets. The end result is a great framing feature for an area that would otherwise be bland and featureless. Glad we discovered Tonja Grid. The service was excellent both when purchasing the kit and in a subsequent purchase of a canopy.
