I bought the Somerville 14 x 10 foot pergola last summer. It is fantastic, the wood is light but sturdy. We have high winds in Tennessee, but it withstood all the storms and wind. I sealed the wood with protectant to prevent pests and rotting. It was easy to construct, the direction were valuable and I am satisfied with the beautiful Somerville Pergola I sit under in my back yard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this for our new patio and I'm so happy! What a great addition to my "happy place". I gave it a four because the wood is peeling/splitting in a few places. Still a great value for the price!

We bought the pergola to give us some shade and help complete our patio. This is a great set. There were a couple dings in a few pieces of wood but nothing major. Instructions were easy and clear. Hardware is labeled in each package. Two people it is doable but we had a third person and it went together quick. I think the hardest part was anchoring to the concrete. If you are debating on this pergola, I'm here to say do it. You will love it. I also took advantage of sealing it before putting it up. Remember folks this is part of the warranty. Easier to do before it is together the first time.

I bought the Pergola about eight months ago after purchasing my new Hot Tub. The size is perfect because it gives some feeling of privacy and also I can still see the stars at night unlike a gazebo I had on my last tub. I have received a lot of complements from family and friends. Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love our new Pergola. Construction and build was straight forward. I over torqued one bolt and cracked a support arm. They quickly sent out a replacement. HIGHLY recommend also treating with a water sealer before you build.

I would give this Pergola a 5-star rating if the company provided a sunscreen option for later purchases. I have had my Somerville 10x14 Pergola for 3 years. We enjoy sitting outside on cooler days, my yard is directly under the sun for the majority of the day, and that sunscreen option has been truly missed every year. I have tried other companies to find a suitable cover or canopy, with little to no success.

The delivery was on the exact date and time as arranged. Good start. The cardboard wrapping around the product (there were two long boxes) was heavy duty thereby protecting the product from shipping damage. There was no damage. That wonderful smell of fresh cedar permeated the room so I new the product was of good exterior quality. When we opened the boxes, it looked like some sort of AI (artificial intelligence) had packed them. A work of art in itself. I began to realize that this pergola package might be of high quality after inspecting the hardware. It was heavy and of high quality, individually labeled and it was all there. There were also paper instructions concerning the assembly which were reasonable but a hair intimidating. But fear not. Here’s the part that blew my mind. They include software by BILT intelligent instructions which you can download on your phone or iPad that show you step by step in a CAD format each step of the way. The pergola turned out fabulously.

We had our Pergola installed in August, so we have not had a full season to enjoy it. But, the pergola has enhanced our patio presence that we have had people all over the country who want to join us. So, we're looking forward to the season and getting the most out of outdoor living in Wisconsin.

We purchased this unit last summer. It comes in extremely heavy containers. We removed the items, and laid them out by number on the garage floor to make sure all the parts were there. Due to shipping damage to the box, one set of screws was missing, and one small 2 x 2 rafter board was broken. I called Sams customer service, and they had replacement items shipped right away. This unit is nice quality, and comes with an easy to read assembly instructions. You need to seal this pergola, so we decided to seal all the boards before they were assembled....easier than painting on a ladder.. We used Thompsons water seal, clear, and our unit still looks brand new. I would recommend that if you are not young and very strong, that you hire someone to assemble it...the contractor said the instructions were easy to follow and that all necessary hardware is included . We are very happy with our purchase ..

I purchased this Pergola to give my backyard a specified space for my patio gathering area. The pergola took my nephew about 4 hours to assemble. There were a couple of boards that were scratched from delivery. I called customer service and they immediately offered me a touch up stain. Two of the boards had a split and they sent out replacements ASAP! Not only is the product prefect for my space but the customer service was the BEST I have encountered.
