We have been looking for a pergola big enough for a large sitting area and dining table and finally found this one. I love that it is wind tested too as our backyard can get wind gusts and I know this pergola is quality and will withstand the elements.

Pros: Great wood, durable hardware, good design. Very solid. Extra hardware. Cons: Plastic caps on top of four set posts leave 1/8" gap so that brace boards are unable to have bolds and nuts be threaded through - too much space. We tried cutting some of the edges and ultimately discarded the caps. Instructions not detailed enough to explain that two of four brace boards have a row of holes along their top (for the lattice) and need to be placed on outside of the two that lack holes. Probably should have had an extra page in the instructions for this or give the boards with holes a separate number. Neutral: Plastic base plates too flimsy for Florida hurricanes. We used steal base plates that worked well. Interior of set post are not solid cedar, but ripped pine 2x4s. However, cedar overlay done very well - looks like solid cedar. Wish the brace boards were 14' long w/o extensions, but shorter boards with extensions seems to work. Really need three people for this construction, not two.

Kit is well thought out. The wood is not so good. I have had some punkie spots in the legs and there is signs of cracking now starting to show up after one winter season here in Michigan. Over all its ok but I don't know how long it will last. To bad the wood is not from North America.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased 2 - 20x12 Beaumont Pergolas and placed them side by side on a concrete slab. I was amazed that a structure of this size could be shipped in 4 boxes (each). They are beautifully stained and we have received many compliments from our friends and family. My wife and I waterproofed and assembled them ourselves over a period of a week or so, not being in any rush. They are remarkably sturdy and we chose to add a polycarbonate roof in order to allow year-round use and prolong the life of the structure. We are very happy with our purchase and recommend this product.

Light-weight cedar is easy to work with, and the kit is fairly well-made. Not a lot of warpage, and the bolts and washer stuff seemed fairly-well machined. Pungent Chinese cedar (too bad it wasn't from the U.S.). Only one short piece was split and nearly unusable. We'll see how the warranty goes....

I love this pergola! It was easy to put together as it was already precut and stained. Looks awesome next to our pool. I was nervous about if the stain would hold up during the winter, but it looks brand new. This pergola was much cheaper than buying one from Menards or Home Depot. Love it and would definitely recommend it to others!

My husband and I absolutely love our new pergola!! It was an easy two person project as everything was labeled like a map for dummies. We liked the one our friends had and is the reason why we bought ours. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone!

We bought the 16 x 12 Beaumont Pergola in April 2023. It was delivered quickly and the installation service Go Configure contacted us promptly, set up the appointment, showed up and efficiently installed the pergola. Great experience all the way around!!!

Last summer we finally got to realize our dream of having a backyard pergola. I researched designs and priced materials for building my own from scratch, and then I looked online at kits to compare. I am so glad I did! The Backyard Discovery kit cost less than the wood alone for building my own, and the assembly was super easy. The only tricky part was anchoring it to our patio: the provided anchors kept stripping so I had to replace with stronger ones. But other than that small issue everything else came together really well. And we love sitting outside in our new outdoor living room!

I had been wanting some structure to provide shade in our backyard since we bought our house four years ago and I only wish we had done this sooner! The pergola looks beautiful and it defines our space so much better. You will want to seal it beforehand and it does require a few friends/family to help put up.
