[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I re-stained it with a waterproofing stain with a color of our choice. There was nothing wrong with the stain it came with but, since we had to waterproof it, we chose a different color, and it looks beautiful! We have not anchored it yet, but it is holding steady to some strong winds. The pergola is kind of heavy, once assembled, and we are trying to figure out how to lift it up so we can place the plates/footers and anchor it. Love it thus far!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We really enjoy our purgola. It is is very sturdy and heavy. We have a lot of wind here in South Dakota, but have no concerns about it blowing over. Assembly was not too difficult, but recommend three or four people to help.

The delivery was on the exact date and time as arranged. Good start. The cardboard wrapping around the product (there were two long boxes) was heavy duty thereby protecting the product from shipping damage. There was no damage. That wonderful smell of fresh cedar permeated the room so I new the product was of good exterior quality. When we opened the boxes, it looked like some sort of AI (artificial intelligence) had packed them. A work of art in itself. I began to realize that this pergola package might be of high quality after inspecting the hardware. It was heavy and of high quality, individually labeled and it was all there. There were also paper instructions concerning the assembly which were reasonable but a hair intimidating. But fear not. Here’s the part that blew my mind. They include software by BILT intelligent instructions which you can download on your phone or iPad that show you step by step in a CAD format each step of the way. The pergola turned out fabulously.

Life changing! Backyard Discovery makes such a great product that one pergola was not enough! We bought two! We feel like we have added on an entire room to our home! We have already created so many memories here and plan for many more. Have I mentioned how well made both pergolas were? Not one issue, just perfect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are very pleased with our pergola purchase. It came on time with thorough communications throughout the delivery process. Assembly took several hours but the directions were easy to follow. The end product was beautiful. It’s been 6 months in the Fliruda sun and it still looks new.

We purchase the Somerville 14 x 10 Pergola from Sam's Club last August. It took about 3 weeks to arrive, but it did come earlier than the expected time. The instructions were straight forward. I assembled this with the help of a friend. My wife did lend us a hand at some part during the assembly. We unboxed the pergola and did a quick parts check to make sure everything we needed was there. It took us one afternoon to put it together and we were able to finish before sunset. It has been a great addition to our backyard along with our turf install and pool and spa.

This is a very nice pergola that has added a cozy and elegant touch to our patio. We liked it so much we bought another one for our side yard! We sealed it before putting it up, and the assembly was pretty straightforward. We had one piece that splintered a little and their customer service was fabulous.

We bought this pergola as a second choice, but it is perfect for our space. I was surprised it for in the boxes is arrived in, it is cut into pieces (which I did not like) and my husband had to drill in some places that were not exactly right, but overall it is beautiful. It took the two of us a few evenings to get it up (I would recommend more than two people for assembly).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the size; fits a couch and two chairs under it. With the outlets included in the structure, we are able to have "movie nights" with a projector and laptop and adding a pull down movie screen. Perfect for our "all sun" backyard. Easy to put together but needs at least two people.

We wanted a defined outdoor space on our recently installed patio addition for a table and chairs and this pergola fits perfectly, and the color matches the wood trim on our southwest pueblo style house very well. The sale price at Sam's Club was a great deal also. We hired an installer that also does installs for Sam's Club and they did a great job at about 1/3 of the cost that Sam's Club charges.
