Can a pergola actually withstand Kansas wind?
A properly anchored one can. The difference is footings set below the frost line with rated post-to-footing hardware, not posts just set in a shallow concrete collar. That anchoring is what keeps a pergola standing through straight-line wind and severe spring storms.
Should I get a pergola or a full roof structure for shade?
It depends on how much shade you want and your budget. A pergola gives partial, dappled shade at a lower cost; a solid-roof pavilion or screened porch gives full coverage but costs more. We can walk through both options for your yard.
