We’re always hunting for deals on worth-it products, whether that means markdowns on big purchases like furniture and appliances or the small stuff that makes an impact, like decor or cookware. Now that it’s backyard prep season, we’re checking in with retailers who stock all the goods for outdoor upgrades.
Enter stage left: The Home Depot’s Spring Black Friday event. It stretches to April 16, and includes everything from grills and planters to organization and power tools. Plus, they’re offering free delivery to the contiguous U.S. We dove into the inventory to find sales that checked several boxes, like problem-solving features and durability. After a rigorous round of shaking the deal tree, we found a highly-rated piece that’ll pull your patio together, and affordably so.

EGEIROSLIFE Wood Grain Aluminum Outdoor Pergola with Retractable Shade
Made from rust-resistant aluminum that has a wood-grain look, this pergola is equipped with a waterproof, UV-resistant, and fade-resistant cover that can be adjusted via hooks on a track. Reviewers particularly like that there’s a panel that covers the shade to avoid excessive pooling of water. They also remark positively on the fact that the structure is lightweight and easy to assemble, and that it stands up to rainstorms and a certain level of wind. It’s just $359 while on sale, and should last for years to come thanks to the solid construction (no wood maintenance here).
We’re fans of its neutral look, which makes it versatile for different backyards and aesthetics. Style it like a full-on boho living room with a rug, lounge chairs, and a sofa; make it the cover on your deck for a monochrome outdoor dining set-up; or place it over a rocky platform for evening drinks in adirondack chairs. And psst: if you may be selling in the future, a pergola is a top no-demo reno that gets buyer attention.
