We wanted something to help with the heat on our little patio. Saw this on line and liked the barnwood color and was the right size for our slab.I and my two grandsons put it together and finished it in about 4 hours. The instructions were right on and everything fit just right. My wife wanted a little more shade so you will notice that I put some grey vinyl lattice on top and it came out beautiful.We are very pleased with our Pergola.

Put this together over two days by myself. Construction was easy, and all holes and hardware matched up perfectly. The instructions in the app were clear and easy to follow. Normally when assembling things, I’ll make a mistake or two and have to disassemble and reassemble parts. This wasn’t an issue due to the interactive nature of the app. The existing finish was adequate, and I added another two coats of stain to be sure that it was protected. It’s been up for about 8 months, and it looks just as good today as it did when I assembled it. This is a good sign since the sun in Phoenix can be brutal. Of course, I can’t say how it holds up in wet environments. I’m thinking about trying to order another set of small slats for the top to increase the shade provided. I will check the hardware for tightness at the one year mark, but so far everything seems tight and sturdy. I would recommend this pergola to anyone.

Purchased at the end of 2021 after years of waiting for the perfect price, color, size and wood quality ! After assembling this pergola with my handy boyfriend, I ❤️ my pergola! It provides shade on hot sunny days and a comfy cozy area around the fire pit in the evening! We brushed a clear water repellent on the entire pergola! This pergola has been talk of the neighborhood and I definitely can’t brag enough !!!

I would recommend this pergola it’s not very hard at all to build but be prepared to work a whole day on it or 2 part days. The BILT app simplifies this so use it don’t use the paper instructions. The only thing that the BILT app lacks is it doesn’t point out all the pre drilled wholes and it really should because it really sets you back if you miss it. Other than that I would build this app over again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before purchasing the Somerville Pergola our Patio was unappealing. The Pergola is beautiful and made our patio very inviting. We now enjoy sitting outside and enjoying the fresh air. While you can buy cheaper Pergola's you certainly won't get the quality that this Somerville one offers. We absolutely love it!

I would give this Pergola a 5-star rating if the company provided a sunscreen option for later purchases. I have had my Somerville 10x14 Pergola for 3 years. We enjoy sitting outside on cooler days, my yard is directly under the sun for the majority of the day, and that sunscreen option has been truly missed every year. I have tried other companies to find a suitable cover or canopy, with little to no success.

We have had this pergola for about a year now and it has held up extremely well so far. We did paint it with a clear protectove coating. It looks great and we love the electric box. Made it very easy to hang a plug in fan in the corner. Great quality, 2 men a few hours to put together

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We move duo to a brand new home with a large patio. It needed something, so we searched got the perfect Pergola. We found it with Sommerville! From ordering to receiving it everything went perfectly. It took my husband and son 5 1/2 hours to assemble and put it up. It looks beautiful. We also love that there is a built in electrical outlet.

We are so thrilled with our new pergola! It ended up being a fraction of what local places were going to charge us, and it looks great. Well worth paying for installation, however I wish we'd known ahead of time that the installers do not attach it to the concrete. We're just hoping our winds aren't so strong that it blows away.

I would say this was a near perfect pergola! There were a few issues though so I can't give it five stars as much as I want to. It took me and my 21 year old son about a total of 5 hours to put this together. One thing I would change in the instructions is to build the sides so all four posts are attached, then put it in it's final resting place *before* putting on all the cross beams. This is not exactly light at this point and can only imagine how heavy it would have been had we built it all the way then moved it. Some of the 2x6 cross beams had a slight twist them which caused the 2x2 beams to miss their pre-drilled holes. Fortunately the 2x6's didn't crack while attaching the 2x2's. Speaking of the 2x2's, this is one of the reasons it did not get five stars. A number of them were warped. Because we bossed them around, we were able to get them on mostly straight though. Then the hardware. For the most part, the hardware was great! The cement screws were a joke. I pre-drilled into my cement (have to use a hammer drill) and the bit I used was 5/32" but I still couldn't get them to go in. I guess I should have used a bigger bit? I am glad that each pack of hardware came with two extras since as you can see from the attached picture, one screw had no threads, one bolt had no threads as well was bent, and another bolt was bent beyond usage. Overall, I'd recommend this. It does definitely take two people to build and did go together as long as you follow the instructions and do not tighten any of the bolts until you've got it in place.
