The screws and included caps were mediocre at best and bad at worst. Thicker webbing and better clips would have been appreciated. The webbing that clips through the clips is strong but does have a fairly thin crimp on the end which allows the strap to easy slip through the clips if you loosen it up too much, which is easy to do. The plastic feels a little cheap, one clip was connected upside down, but otherwise hasn’t been problematic so far. The sail also includes integrated clips, which are only built O.K. It is constructed from woven polyethylene and has a good amount of reinforcing on the stitching. The sun sail fabric is great, with a much heavier and more robust fabric than I expected. The welds on the inside, on my particular brackets, were however were actually rather sloppy and caused problems with the wood fitting inside (more on that later as well). The welds on the outside were good quality, but were only spot welds instead of a long, continuous beads. The powder coating held up well during construction and has survived the assembly process mostly scuff free, despite my use rigorous use of a fairly heavy rubber mallet at a few points (more on that later). These aren’t built to hold more than the boards and a sail themselves, however. The brackets themselves are decently heavy, rigid, and seem to provide plenty of strength for the 12 foot 4×4 beams I’m using. Starting with the build quality, the Toja Grid system is mostly good. The tools I used for my personal build included: Base anchoring hardware and lumber isn’t included. It includes four corner brackets, four base brackets, a sun sail for shade, and some hardware. My particular kit is designed for 4×4 beams (12 foot long and 8 foot high in my case). Wooden beams slot inside the brackets and are bolted into place with no cutting or measuring required, typically. It is essentially just a few powder coated steel brackets. It is designed to minimized or even eliminate the need to cut boards, requiring only a few very basic tools to assemble. The Toja Grid system is designed as a simple, do it yourself pergola system. How is it to build with, and does it hold up? My review: Need shade from the summer heat but lack construction skills? The Toja Grid SOLO is a simplified Pergola Kit is designed to make building a modern looking pergola quick and easy, with minimal tools.
