That $400 pergola kit turned into a pile of twisted metal

Bought a cheap aluminum pergola off Amazon last spring cause I wanted shade for the patio without spending thousands. The thing barely survived two windstorms before the crossbars snapped and the whole frame started leaning like a drunk guy. Has anyone else had luck with any of those budget kits or am I stuck saving up for a real one?

Check if your home insurance covers wind damage to structures like that. Sometimes they'll pay out for things that fail that fast, especially if you documented the install.

Man I returned that mess and put the money toward a metal one from Home Depot.
