[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in July and assembled it myself with my son over several weekends. we did have a few few issues like the concrete anchor, bolts snapped they appear to be made out of aluminum and should be made out of steel. Some of the pilot holes for the purlins did not lineup so we created our own pilot holes. But overall it’s wonderful. I enjoy sitting out in the evenings with shade and coffee on the weekend mornings.

Pergola shipped and arrived within a week of ordering. Discovered a joist missing during assembly. Called customer service and they had a replacement on it's way in two days. Assembly was fairly straightforward but I recommend taking inventory of your parts, having a drill to fine tune pilot holes, and run all the nuts down the bolts prior to assembly. The coating tends to muck the threads up, making them useless. There were extras, but not many. I also ordered some stain as there are alot of touch-ups needed from shipping and assembly. Instructions were ok but take some time to understand so you avoid having to undo steps. It went together more or less as advertised. Added lights and it looks fantastic! .l

I purchased and installed Beaumont Cedar Pergola on my backyard deck. The pergola has added a whole new dimension to the deck and its usefulness. The cedar wood was high quality and smells great. The instructions were straight forward and pergola pieces marked which really helped during installation. Thanks for putting together a great product and a price that's very affordable. Check out my new beautiful pergola!

Mine has been up for 2 months now and it has completely transformed my patio. Installation is a breeze if you can follow simple directions and take your time. My wife and I put our pergola together in about 4-5 hours. The quality of the materials is much more nicer than any other pergola kit I have seen at the big box stores, I’m confident it will last for many years.

Everything was very easy to install, I actually did the whole thing by myself (2 people would be faster and safer, but nothing is too heavy to do alone). One piece was broken in delivery, contacting about replacement but didn’t stop me from getting the job done.

We took delivery of the 12 x 10 cedar pergola kit in early June. From start to finish, the process has been positive and the end result is the creation of a new peaceful place! Ordering was very simple, delivery arrived a day sooner than expected. The kit came in two boxes. Before assembling, we used a protective sealant. Easy to assemble, quality construction, quality hardware, excellent, easy-to-follow instructions. We added a removable light-filtering tarp on the roof for protection from the mid-day sun, and solar-powered lights on the inside ceiling. We absolutely love the addition to our outdoor space!

The product itself seems to be a great product, but the included assembly through Go Configure leaves a lot to be desired. A piece was broken during transport, so I was left with a partially constructed pergola on my patio and the team on site said they had to report to their supervisor. The supervisor of the local company submitted the report and GoConfigure sends me an email saying their team had to "investigate" this which generally takes two business days, starting Friday over a Holiday weekend. When I called for more details I was told they could not give me any timeframe, because Go Configure is a separate company than Backyard Discovery (despite their name and number appearing on the cardboard boxes the pergola came in.) Backyard Discovery had previously been very helpful and so I chose to call them directly. They immediately noticed my order and prior registration and told me they would FedEx me the broken part and it would arrive in 2-4 days. Honestly I'm furious because if I had called the manufacturer the day we found it was broken I could have finished this myself and gotten to enjoy the pergola for at least half of my holiday weekend, rather than watching the pieces left in my lawn slowly kill my grass. Good product, great manufacturer service from Backyard Discovery, but terrible customer service from Go Configure.

We've had this for awhile now. It's not exactly what the intended use was going to be, but we decided to go with an entertainment space (was originally doubled to use as covered carport but my SUV was too big). We are very pleased. It is well built (though the top boards could be a little sturdier). It has ample room for entertainment space and we've really enjoyed using it! It was also super easy to put together.

I purchased 4 of these 10x12's and combined them into one gisnt pergola. it's awesome. Yes you need a minimum of two additional people to assist you. As mentioned in the other reviews some of the holes do not line up. I discovered this early in the build and purchased the appropriate long drill bit. From that point on all of the holes were drilled prior to assembly or drilled when assembled as with the ends. I did have to purchase additional P1 & P2 long & short purlins and add a 20' center redwood purlin of my own to join them. I did not secure the posts to the concrete. the weight alone keeps it in place and will allow me to move it if necessary. The result is spectacular. I even had enough pieces left over to make a 5th pergola. I just needed to purchase 2 additional joists and some P1's & P2's The quality of the wood is great. You just can't get this kind of Cedar anywhere else. Make sure you treat it with water seal preferably before or during or after assembly. Brush or spray works great. I used a 2 gallon garden sprayer. I am in a very dry desert climate and do not expect it rot due to moisture, but just to be safe I did anyway. Yes it may be a chore to build but it's worth it. .

Just bought 2 of the 16x12 pergolas to sit side by side. The first thing I noticed is the color is completely off from the photos online. One of the reasons I chose this pergola was because the color matched the rest of the wood in my yard. I understand that screens can distort color a bit but this is extreme and MUCH lighter than anticipated. It does state in the description that saturation can vary but I don’t even think it’s a saturation issue as it is maybe only 1 coat of stain added as opposed to more to get the proper color maybe to just get the product out faster? Not sure but make sure you don’t rely on the color if it’s important to you. The other thing is that several of the joists were pretty bowed. It didn’t prevent us from installing but just not super high quality for the price paid. A lot of the pieces are pretty lightweight and posts are hollow. Still not sure how this withstands the high winds that they say but we did attach it to the house and a concrete patio so we’ll see how it lasts to Florida storms. Overall it was relatively easy to put together but I likely would not purchase again. If you are making a decision based on what you see in photos make sure to do more research first.
