These extra slats provide more shade and added strength to the structure. I'm attempting to grow wysteria on top of the pergola and until it is grown in, the extra slats are essential in providing more shade and will provide support for the soon-to-be wysteria.

Very Misleading Photos
Be aware that these beams are not 133" long; they are half of that and then they give you a big bulky connector to get the full advertised length. You cannot see these connectors in most of the photos they provide. For my project, these were unusable.

Very nice addition to the Venetian Pergola. The12 extra shade slats made the pergola look even nicer than it already did.

The shade kit is a necessary purchase to ensure shade on this size structure. Using only the kit that came with the pergola, there was a 6” gap between slats. Thus, I ordered two extra kits to provide shade.

Nice product; perfect for my pergola
I got this for extra shade for my Venetian pergola. It is perfect for the pergola and looks great. However, I still needed more shade so I also purchased a shade cover. So that is why I didn't give it five stars. It is good quality and arrived quickly with all parts included, no damaged pieces.
