I purchased the Pergola about a month ago while on vacation and fortunately a neighbor was able to put the two boxes into my garage until I got home. I finally was able to put it together with my wife's help and now just waiting for a patio to be built with footing before we put it onto it's final spot. It was a good DIY Project with a few difficulties but it was engineered well and was easy to follow the directions on paper and combined with the Built App.. I put a coat of waterproofing on the pieces before putting it together using a BEHR Water soluble, transparent product. It looks great and we look forward to having it in our yard for years!

Purchased a month ago. After waiting for a landscape project to be completed and applying a protective sealant I installed it a couple days ago. I am 59 yrs old and was able to install in myself. The quality is on par with the cost of the product. I am a woodworker and could have made this myself. Saved a lot of time and money.

We spent quite some time searching for something that truly reflected our taste, yet would stand the test of time. When we finally found it, my husband assembled it with ease (with a little help from our sons-in-law). He finished it with the recommended lacquer, and the result is simply beautiful—better than I had imagined. He placed it thoughtfully where our two wisteria plants grow, training them to climb and frame the structure. It has created a stunning, peaceful shaded retreat, reminiscent of the Tuscan countryside—right here in NYC. We absolutely love it and look forward to enjoying it for many years to come.

I am so incredibly happy with this pergola! Assembly was a breeze with 4 people and it looks amazing in my space.

it's beautiful, easy to install and it met my expectations. The instructions were easy enough for anyone to follow, it was actually fun to build it with zero frustration.

This pergola is beautiful and assembly went well. The directions were complete and accurate but you need to look at them carefully for the details. It took me alone about 3 hours to assemble the two ends on the ground, and then 4 hours for 3 of us to complete including a couple breaks (it was very hot). We could have done it with two people and one step ladder but it was nice having a third person and 2 step ladders.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] overall it’s not bad , but i should have paid attention to the height . it’s a little shorter than i would like , but the price is great . some of wood was warped so a bunch of c clamps were needed.

I love love love love love love love love my new pergola backyard discoveries you are a dream maker with great products I would recommend this to anyone and I went through a contractor referred by backyard discoveries to put together that was the best choice I made money well spent enjoying and loving my new addition to my home.

No wonder this is a best seller. Well made. The posts are solid even though they have cedar panels on the outside and lots of 2x2s inside to make they solid. But you have to use your own judgement in using the manual to fit your own needs. I put up the basic frame first and keep making sure the 4 posts are perfectly straight before the next step. Also, DON'T screw in the 4 braces early, as they suggested in the manual, until the very last step. Because as you take a step to make one post straight, the other posts shift. As careful as I was to make sure I do the braces last, I still had to redo all posts! To lift up the entire structure to secure the post footing with concrete screws is unrealistic because by then the pergola is already too heavy. It is like a table already. Why would you fasten down an 600 lb dining table?

We bought the 16x20 Beaumont pergola a month or so ago and have been so happy with our decision. It shipped pretty quickly and arrived in great condition. We were missing one of the included tools and they overnighted it to us. Amazing customer service! We would recommend downloading the app for the assembly instructions because you can see the parts/boards in 3d and look at them closer. My husband, my 14 year old son and I worked together to assemble it. It took us a total of probably 8-9 hours or so to complete. My husband actually did the top part by himself or it may have been even quicker. The quality is excellent and we are super happy with how everything turned out!
