| Pergola from Costco |
We have lulu's new pool almost 2 years. She uses it faithfully almost every day. But for me - the water is fine - kept at roughly 88 degrees by the sun - but sitting out on a hot day - really makes my face red. I don't like lathering up with sun lotion. So I thought a little manmade shade would fill the bill.
We ordered this shade - they call it a pergola - sounds too fancy for me. It is scheduled to arrive on August 22nd. It is essentially a kit that weighs about 600 pounds - it comes in 6 boxes. It is all aluminum with stainless steel bolts and screws. No cutting required. Sort of like legos.
It is 20 feet long x 10 feet wide x 8 feet tall. The roof is waterproof with drains that go down the 6 posts. The top can be cranked open to almost any angle - providing a little shade or 100% blackout. Each post is anchored to the concrete with several stainless steel bolts. It is supposed to be hurricane proof - Florida will be a good test. The reviews on it are good. Wish me luck assembling it.
This will provide a place to keep my red nose out of the sun when I sit out there reading or napping.
