Hi Carrie, I’m sure you will love it! I only left about 1/2″ between each shade because I wanted full shade coverage!

Hi Laura, different pergola covers have different rain resistance. Waterproof shade sails and louvered roofs can block out heavy rain, but may fade or need cleaning. Fabric canopies and retractable awnings can handle light rain, but may leak or sag in heavy rain. Polycarbonate panels can protect from rain and snow, but may scratch or crack over time. I hope this helps!

I’m so glad you found the instructions helpful and easy to follow. Your pergola must look beautiful with the shade fabric. I hope you enjoy many relaxing moments under it. Thanks for the feedback!

I have to say, I am super happy how it turned out. We live in Buffalo NY, so I was excited to use the snaps, so we can take the fabric down for the winter and just stick back up next spring. Thanks for this!

Great question, will add this to the post! They do blow around so they aren’t always perfectly even but it never feels or looks strange since they tend to blow right back a few seconds later! If you want them to stay perfectly in place, you could add additional snaps on top of each beam you weave the pieces “over” and that would hold them there!
