easy assembly (kinda)

Assembly was not too bad. Will take more than two people for some parts of it it. You will need a ladder and a screw gun/driver, all other tools are in the box. The directions were pretty easy, but you have to pay attention, and put your carpentry/measuring skills to work. It will take the better part of an afternoon. All the hardware parts were there plus a few extra. I did not anchor mine to the ground, its free-standing on my patio. Makes plenty of shade, which is the point. I am very happy with the finished product.

14 X 12 Pergola

I wanted to wait a few weeks before reviewing. Overall it it a very nice. There are a few areas where you notice the difference between this and a much higher priced item. The long strips on the top are very thin (maybe 1” X 1”), and they are actually 2 smaller pieces joined together. It feels short - needs a footer to lift it by 1’ to get the proportions right. Glad I opted for professional installation- 2 guys with all the right tools completed the job in a few hours.

Very Attractive for Our Yard

We are very pleased with the pergola! It was very easy to assemble; the instruction packet was great - very helpful. If not for lot's of GOOD interruptions (grandkids), we would have had the pergola built in a day. I really only needed a second person for about 2 hours of time; the rest was solo. Had fun building it!

Exceeded Expectations!

I bought the 14X10 Pergola kit to add shade and structure to our pool area in our newly purchased home. Two big boxes arrived on Thursday and after 2 mornings of work, we were done! Very happy with the quality of the materials, however my helper and I could improve our reading and observation skills. Most everything was pre-drilled so no math or measuring needed (even though we did until we discovered the holes). Sealer and 8X10 shade cloth are next - necessary for Texas summer. Love it!

New Pergola for BBQing with family and friends.

Hi and I'm happy with the pergola. All came out well, I had my son in law and a friend put it together, definitely one needs two persons to do it. I'm in South Florida, where hurricanes are a normal and though we have not been hit by a biggie in a few years, every year we do get one, so we drilled down some sort of anchors and if it comes, we will tighten the poles and some of the cross-bars with adjustable wraps. Finally I will try to paint it with wood protection, Winmax I think it's called, every year. Ah, I'm also going to have a manually retractable Canvas roof built because the sun is burning hence difficult to enjoy in the afternoons. I'm happy and the Pergola is on top of a cement slab in my backyard, not on grass. I recommend it!

Beautiful pergola

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!

Happy with our pergola and the service!

The Pergola was delivered on time and the delivery people were very helpful with placing the boxes in our driveway so we could get to them. The boxes were in good condition and so was the contents. We assembled the pergola and are happy with the results..

Really could have used a third set of hands!

I shopped a lot of pergola kits and feel this one was a very good value. Assembly took about 7 hours with myself and my wife. Using the Bilt app on a tablet is highly recommended, since it's much easier when you can zoom in and rotate to see how parts go together. No issues whatsoever with holes lining up. The one problem we faced was getting the two end assemblies upright and connected together with the side rails. It would have been far easier with three people - two to support the end assemblies while the third person installed the side rails on top. The instructions don't give any tips. We managed, but it wasn't pretty! I also question how, once fully assembled, it's possible with two people to mark where the plastic feet should sit, move the pergola to anchor the feet and then put the pergola back in place. The pergola weighs 400 pounds. Our patio is shaded from the prevailing winds by the house, so we'll take our chances and not anchor it.

Backyard Pergola build.

The wood is very lightweight. There are short ends that bolt separately and could possibly sag. The stain on it is for aesthetics only. Therefore we stained it to help seal and preserve the wood even though cedar is naturally resistant. We wanted a reddish brown stain to match our trim. We also poured peers to raise the posts up to frame large living room window views to the backyard. Worked out great! Fairly easy build and we love the look.

Great looking pergola

This pergola more than met our expectations. The only issue we had was that it was delivered earlier than the estimated delivery date and we were out of town but they left it where we wanted and in the end we’re glad to get it earlier than predicted.
