Hi Brad. I can say it’s definitely held up great over the years. Still looks brand new despite the unbearable summer weather here in Las Vegas.

We don’t use it too much in the daytime since I’d rather be inside with the AC. However, it’s nice at night when the weather is a bit cooler. Definitely feels like an oven when it’s 100 and above.

I also read that it gets pretty hot. Is there an outside temp. where it becomes unbearable being underneath it?

Yeah, the Amish Pavilions are amazing. The cost is definitely a lot better with the Sojag but to be completely honest it does feel like an oven when it’s 110 out.

Even installing a fan would just blow hot air around. It’d be best to install a mist system along with a fan as well which I’m also thinking about.

Regardless of the shortcomings, it’s still really great and everyone that comes by to see it, loves it.

Just wondering if its more beneficial to just get an Amish Pavilion if it gets super hot in there? It costs more but definitely don’t want to be sitting in an oven. At what temperature does it feel like that?

Living in Vegas, it honestly does get really hot. Feels a bit like I’m in an oven when the sun is directly above 🙂 I didn’t have a chance to put a ceiling fan at the top just yet.

However, I did hang a bunch of string lights and it makes it look really elegant at night.

Hope that helps.
