We purchased this pergola last summer. We are very pleased with the materials, the ease of construction and the beauty of this pergola. We’ve had several before and none of them were of this quality. The size was perfect for our deck. We added some polycarbonate sun panels for this summer season intense sun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I ordered this a few months ago. we put it together over a few days taking our time and care. extremely well made. We then decided to mount the posts on concrete footers and then decided to place a natural stone floor to allow gas grill and furniture, etc. We are almost done but winter has slowed us until spring. Pictures attached. Very excited about completing our project.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this over the Summer and am very pleased with it. I also bought a pergola shade to add additional shade in the evening from the sun and hung string lights around it too. If you buy this just watch when you’re putting it together paying extra cloe detail to the wood layout and pre drilled holes. Also make sure your building it where you intend to put it. I built it where it would be easier for me to manage putting it together then afterwards it was the wrong way lengthwise so I wound up standing in the middle under the pergola and lifting it up at balance point to rotate it slowly. Also make sure if you do want to move it you have 4 people with muscle. I’m a big guy and did it by myself but it’s not light once it’s assembled.

I have always wanted a pergola, so I am very happy with this one. I love that it comes with a power outlet which makes it a breeze adding string lights to it. You can sit and enjoy nature; or bring alexa out, plug it in to the outlet, enjoy enjoy some music with a glass of wine. It ceates a wonderful place to relax.

I purchased this to be the foundation of a larger project that my wife tasked me with. As my woodworking skills are basic I wanted a solid structure as the foundation that I could then have confidence in adding to. We are delighted with the finished product because of the foundation it was built upon

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this over the summer and could not be happier with the end result. Only complaint is the directions need to be clearer about orientation of the pieces as we put together certain sections and realized after the fact that pre drilled holes were on other sides etc. also some of the wood was warped and made it difficult to align holes at time. But all in all we’re very happy and pleased with the pergola.

I wanted to use a Pergola for my Outdoir Patio. Wanted some shade but not too much. Backyard Discovery SOMERVILLE was a perfect fit and I love the barnwood stain color. The electricity hookup feature is an added bonus. At night the stringed lights we added give a warm, soft glow.

Love this pergola!! My uncle and I put it together in two days. We found it easier to use two jacks to lift up the pergola and move it in order get the pergola where we wanted it before securing the cement braces. Very pleased with how it came out. My patio slab in 10x20 so it fits great

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.
