Review on Revamp Your Outdoor Space: ALISUN Replacement Canopy For Lowe'S Allen + Roth 10Ft X 10Ft Freestanding Pergola - Tan/Black Material With Ties (Size: 200" X 103") by Rich Montgomery

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just received this, so I can’t comment on longevity

I would absolutely consider thisa) better than my original pergola topper,b) UNIVERSAL (assuming your dimensions are appropriate)"b” is probably most important because it’s such an expensive topper compared with some of the alternatives out there, and you want it to work for your existing structureI only received it yesterday, and put it up today, but the quality seems very good. I don’t anticipate water collecting in huge amounts on top, which is likely what wore out my original so quickly and caused major tearing (it also only lasted a single season, even taking it down for fall/ winter)If you can swing the cost, I’d go this route. The canopy alone is 17 lbs and permeable… so far the wind isn’t creating any lift underneath and I DO NOT have the pergola with the track system… I am currently using the built-in ties and I have makeshifted some "weight rods” using 10x0.5 rebar (cut to size) and spray painted them to thread through the opening on either side… they’re still drying so the pic won’t show that part, I’ve highlighted what I mean in blue… the weight rods for a pergola canopy are $60 and rebar is like $5 per piece… seemed like a no brainer to me
