We just got our BYD pergola set up and it is absolutely perfect!!! We love it so much! The assembly took about 10 hours for two people. And its features of opening and closing are fantastic! We love having a nice place to enjoy dinner as a family outside!! And it offers a great amount of shade, which will be especially nice this summer!!!

Bought this a couple of weeks ago. Installed it in about 6 hours today. I was wondering how smooth it would operate the louvers, but I am very pleased with it. It's only been a day, but so far I absolutely love it. Well designed. Fairly simple to install, needed 3 guys but mostly just to set the beams upright. Other than that really could do it yourself, but probably best to have 2.

Bought and installed a month ago, One beam was was 1/2” to long but BD overnighted a replacement beam. The install otherwise went flawlessly. Could have inbuilt this in one day but for the replaced Part. Instructions and Service were good. We are enjoying the flexibility of the louverrd operation and really enjoy the shade and definition it gives our patio.

I bought this Pergola approximately a month ago and last weekend assembled and put it up in a day and a half with a little bit of help when standing upright. Well made and easy to follow directions with assembly! Looks great and is a great addition to our backyard!

This was definitely not a single person project, needed about 3-4 people to help build this pergola. We were able to complete the build in 1 days and it turned out great! We look how it came out and it does feel like it’s last strong winds (main reason we purchased it)

Backyard Discovery is by far the best Pergola around. I looked at all the competitors and they were no better than the Backyard Discovery. They wanted to charge from 3X to 5X more for their product for nothing. When it arrived it was exactly as advertised and easy to assemble, we put it together in about 5 hours it came in 4 boxes with nothing missing. We added the lighting and will install a rollup screan to personalize. Very impressed, by far the best for the money. Construction Tip: Get a good hammer drill and good bits to anchor in to concrete or stone.

Delivered May 12 all parts included and no damage. 4 heavy duty boxes. Took 2 of us a total of 22 hours. Got the beams up first day and finished the rest the next day. We took our time and used the manual as well as the BLIT app. The directions are very good. I attached to my deck and used a couple of 2 by 10 between and attached to my jost. Then used 5 inch 3/8 bolts to fasten it. It's not going to go anywhere. Really love how everything turned out and this is one solid structure, well built and produced. From start to finish it's a 10. Now looking forward to using it and having a few friends over for food and drinks. If you're looking for the perfect Pergola this is it, don't hesitate.

We bought two of these and absolutely love how they look in our yard, and enjoy being able to open or close the louvers as desired. All parts arrived in excellent shape, and our contractor did not have any problems with the assembly (we're not the DIY types). The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that the built-in rain gutters are very shallow, and woefully inadequate during anything other than a very light rain. If it's really raining, the water either drips or pours down from the inside edge of the horizontal supports at the top of the pergola.

Wow! We are impressed. The quality of our pergola couldn't be better. My husband and I setup in 6 hours. Everything was labeled, organized and easy to follow. Everything fit together and had no issues with alignment. The option to close and open the louvers is a wonderful option. Our deck was full sun during the day not much fun. But, now we can enjoy all day long.

The 20x10 Sarasota Steel Louvered Pergola has been an outstanding addition to our backyard. Solid, sturdy, and sleek in appearance, it came with exceptionally detailed instructions and a helpful video that made assembly far easier. Yes, there are plenty of steps (and parts), but don’t let that intimidate you—everything is clearly labeled, and the directions are thoughtfully laid out. We’d absolutely purchase it again. Highly recommend.
