My 83 year old husband and myself were able to assemble this ourselves with minimal effort! We love it and many people can't believe how well it turned out and we were actually able to do it ourselves.

It’s nice from afar. The quality is only mediocre and this shows when up close. I chose to have the installation done by the professionals and they reported they often had this complaint.

I love my new pergola!!! Delivered sooner than expected. My contractor put it up by himself in about five hours. His only comment is that some of the holes didn't line up.

We love our pergola and will enjoy more time spent under it when the weather cools off some. The kit was easy to assemble. It took my son and grandson about 6 hours to put it together for us, that's counting the breaks for being in the sun all the time while putting it together. The directions were easy to follow and even came with a few extra screws and bolts which was very helpful but not needed. We think it adds a lot of character to our yard and we get a lot of compliments from family and friends.

This is a really nice pergola at a good price. The wood is quality, the hardware seems durable. The installation was ok, difficult in some spots but easily doable. I water sealed all of the wood before installation and let it dry for a couple weeks on the advice of other reviews I read. Make sure to keep checking for square and level. Overall it really makes a big difference on my otherwise plain looking patio.

After 12 days our Beaumont Pergola is finished. We treated each piece and let it dry which took 2 to 3 days. Then we spent almost a week just getting foundation blocks and anchors in place. We choose to purchase concrete anchor blocks like the type you use under a porch. These are heavy and we had to move existing patio blocks and dig enough earth to place each one at precisely level. Then we had to square everything and check again and again to make sure everything lined up. The most difficult part was anchoring the plastic blocks to the concrete. I used my impact driver with a conversion tool that accepted a concrete bit. Better than drilling with a regular cordless drill but not much. The assembly of the actual pergola was super easy, once the foundation was in place. We are experimenting with a shade cloth to block out most of the afternoon sun. Sorry, but it looks better without the shade cloth and ladder in the background. I am thinking we won't use the black plastic power box because it just clashes with the beautiful finished product. This is our second kit from Backyard Discovery and we are happy with how easy it all goes together. After building the larger 11 x 13 greenhouse this past Spring, this one was almost too easy. These are just the thing for a retired guy who used to love to play with Erector Sets as a kid.

We have been very impressed so far with our pergola. We hired a crew to put it up, and it took them several hours, but the results are beautiful. They put up pergolas all the time, and they said this one was particularly well made. It looks gorgeous and completely meets our needs.

This pergola looks just like the picture. It came in great shape, no issues. I paid for the installation and a two man crew came and installed it in two hours. It's solid and very sturdy. We have not anchored it yet, but plan to. The color is very pretty too.

I needed shade on my back patio and decided to go ahead and make a larger purchase with this Cedar Pergola! Sam’s had by far the best price on the Internet it did take a day to completely put it together another day to actually seal the wood but it’s beautiful and we love it !!!

actually better than watching a YouTube video. was and easy build but it definitely takes at least two people three preferable. very impressed by the way the instructions were given. pay close attention to which way the board's Mount lining your holes up. highly recommend
