We bought this earlier this year after pricing out the materials to build one. This one was less expensive and arrived with perfectly cut pieces that were easy to assemble. It's exactly as it appears in the ads and we've received numerous comments about how attractive it is.

Backyard Discovery must have made improvements to the QA of this product because mine fit together perfectly! The most time consuming part was re-staining it to fit the look I was going for, but it was well worth it. I was able to set it up over the course of an afternoon and couldn't be happier with the end result. At this price point and the ease of setup, I wouldn't recommend any other pergola.

If you are on the fence deciding whether or not to purchase, make the purchase. We bought ours this past July and have been making it our own ever since. When we first received our on time shipment, we thought we better check all the parts right away in case we needed anything replaced. When I called customer service to tell them we wouldn’t be putting this together for a few weeks and what if we discovered at that time we needed replacement parts, customer service assured us they would send us whatever we needed and not to worry. We built our pergola for a few hours each day during the week so all we needed to do on Saturday was raise up the posts and add the cross beams. This definitely makes the project less daunting and it only took us 3 hours or so when we lifted the posts. We have received several compliments. The color you see in the photos is the actual color. We have not yet stained. The purlins that came with (top) were just ok. They seemed crooked when we screwed them together. In the end, we added 1x3 cedar slats so that we had more shade. Directions were straight forward.

At first we thought that the building of this pergola would take forever with all the pieces , but the instructions on the app that’s provided made the process go smoothly. We love the cedar wood and the looks of this pergola. We were happy to have every piece and tool that we needed. The only negative we had was that not all of the holes were clean. We used a screwdriver to clean them and chipped some of the wood around them. Other than that great product. My husband wants a second one.

Staycation is my back yard. I regret waiting to many years before I added the Backyard Discovery Pergola to my backyard. It’s created a living space I’ve never had in my own yard. My contractor was hesitant when he say the boxes. But I arrived back at noon and it was completed. He said the construction was high quality, instructions were easy. In fact he has recommended and installed several Backyard Disciry Pergolas after his experience with mine. My only regret- not purchasing it sooner. Thank you

I had 3 helpers assist assembling the pergola without any problems. It took about 8 hours total with multiple breaks in between. The finished product is a solid structure with beautiful cedar consistent color. The 6x6 posts are not solid cedar posts but feel very secure. The cedar and hardware are top quality. I would definitely but this model again.

I bought the 16x12 Beaumont Pergola in June and it really completed my backyard. My bottler and 14 year old put it together in a few hours. The directions were self explanatory, which made the installation process smooth. I was worried I got the wrong size, but couldn’t be happier with my choice. My backyard gets quite a bit of sun, so the pergola provided the right amount of shade for us to relax as a family. I would highly highly recommend backyard discovery, if you’re thinking about getting a pergola. I have absolutely no regrets with my purchase.

The pergola is well thought through in terms of its design. Each part is marked, the hardware comes in labeled bags. The accompanying BILT program makes it very easy to visualize. One improvement would be a diagram showing the exact center locations of the four posts.

We love the look of our 10x14 pergola and have had several compliments. It's a wonderful addition to the backyard/pool. Our yard is quite small so we were worried that the pergola would make it look smaller but not the case. I would have given 4.5-5 stars but the directions could have been better written. The biggest issue was that several top pieces and a cpl joists were warped. We did the best to straighten them out as we assembled and now that complete, we are probably the only ones to know. In all fairness, I am writing this prior to contacting the company. I will be notifying them and update my review with response. That being said, I have and will continue to recommend to others.

I decided to tackle putting it together and the instructions were great. Followed them step by step and it turned out perfect. All items were as marked and made the instructions easy to follow. I did want mine a little higher so built the forms an additional 12 inches up. I also wanted it covered so we could sit under it during weather and direct sun. We used tinted clear pvc roofing panels layered and held in place with roofing screws. We are very pleased and wish all DYI projects were this easy.
