I bought the pergola/arbor a month ago. Directions were very clear! All boards, bolts, screws, nuts and washer were labeled. Other than sealing the boards, the actual construction was completed in ONE DAY. We are one young man and one 70 yr old short woman. If we can do it, anyone can handle it. It looks fantastic. The grapes have been planted by each post. We just need to string some led lights. ,

Love this! I knew when I opened the boxes that this company knew what they were doing. All the parts were there, everything fit, all the holes lined up (almost) and I did the whole thing myself with just three hours help from a friend when it came time to erect it. The ONLY thing I noticed that seemed out of whack were that the holes in the purlins did not match up to the pilot holes in the cross pieces. Not a biggy as the screws went in fine where I needed them to. Just...how the heck did they screw up the hole placement so badly? Otherwise, a great product that I would recommend to anyone.

We were looking for something to put over the top of our water garden. This worked perfect. It still lets the sunlight through but at the same time provides the shaded that is needed. Looks Fabulous in the back yard with the water garden. Wife is very happy!!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this pergola back in May for my back yard patio. I wanted to spend most of my time this summer relaxing. This pergola did not disappoint!! My 17 year old grandson and his friend and I put it together in 2 days. It was very easy to put together and the memories we created was priceless!! Defiantly worth the money!!

Price is far less than others, but quality is not much less. Very happy with my purchase, using it as a decorative car port in an area too small for anything else. Did need to re-drill 3-4 holes in the top slats, but the rest fit together well. Recommend reading the instructions.

This is an absolutely beautiful structure, good solid build, and fairly easy to put together. My wife and I would have had it done in an afternoon if not for rain. I would recommend 3 people putting it together we did it with two but some of the structure was a bit heavy for my wife to hold in place while i was driving screws.

Shipping was surprisingly fast. (1 week from purchase to delivery) Assembly was relatively easy. I put it together myself, with a little help from my wife and son when it came to installing the main joist beams. Finished structure was a little wobbly. But I chalk this up to the lightweight, soft, wood, and the manner of design which enables the whole thing to be hand delivered to your front door. (Main joists, which are comprised of three pieces bolted together, have a little too much play.) I did a couple of simple structural additions to firm up its integrity. We also added a shade cloth attached to the underside of cross joists. We did not use the top 2x2’s (intended for shade) as most were warped. We liked the idea of the cloth more anyways. All in all, for the cost, look (and easiness of constructing), we are very pleased.

Much better than my expectations one of the boards and shipment got damaged customer service was so excellent to deal with they had my new part here in 2 days my only complaint is I have to put it together by myself which has no influence on the company LOL The instructions to put it together were on point all the hose lined up I would definitely purchase another one if I need it to in the future.... LOVE IT.... I've gotten so many compliments on how beautiful it is from my neighbors which it is has added value to my home

Great product when it finally arrived.(shippers fault) read assembly instructions at least once before beginning. One person can easily do up to step 3. Personally I would recommend anchoring the unit after step 4. It’s much easier to handle being lighter. Then add the rest of the wood. Directions were superb, good hardware and tools and wrenches supplied. A well engineered product.

I bought this last June, and it arrived fairly quickly. I paid my landscape architect to assemble it and with a 2.5 person crew, it took about 4 hours. Lots of pieces, but they figured it out. The pergola is solid and the color is beautiful. It has withstood several storms and gusty wind days this past year. To protect , maintain, and preserve the cedar for years to come, I'm planning to put a clear coat of stain on it later this month. I am really satisfied with how it looks. I just wish they made them taller.
