FAQs
Can I assemble this by myself?
No, the components are heavy and require at least two to three people for safe assembly and structural alignment.
Is the pergola rust-proof?
It is made of galvanized, powder-coated steel which is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use.
Does it need to be anchored to the ground?
Yes, for safety and to maintain the 100 mph wind rating, the pergola must be anchored to a concrete slab or a secure deck.
What is the warranty coverage?
The product is supported by a 5-year guarantee provided by Backyard Discovery.
Can the louvers stay open in snow?
While the unit is rated for 1.7 tonnes of load, it is recommended to keep the louvers in the closed position during heavy snowfall to prevent damage to the hinge mechanisms.
How do I access the digital instructions?
You can download the BILT app on your mobile device and search for the model number 2305151B for interactive 3D guides.
Troubleshooting
Louvers are difficult to open or close
Check the louver pivot points for any debris or obstructions and ensure the frame is perfectly square and level.
Water pooling on top of the roof
Verify that the drainage downpipes in the posts are not clogged and that the pergola is installed on a level surface.
PowerPort not providing electricity
Check the main GFCI breaker or the power source the pergola is plugged into to ensure it has not tripped.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Sarasota Pergola is streamlined using the BILT app, which provides interactive 3D assembly instructions. It is critical to select a flat, level surface such as a concrete patio or a properly reinforced wooden deck before beginning. Ensure you have at least two to three people for the assembly process to handle the steel components safely.
Maintenance Tips:
- Cleaning: Periodically rinse the steel frame with a garden hose and mild soap to remove dust or pollen.
- Gutters: Regularly check the gutter guards to ensure they are free from leaves or debris to allow the drainage system to function correctly.
- Inspection: Tighten hardware annually if necessary, though the galvanized steel is highly durable.
