I absolutely love it! It took us way longer than 7 hours though. (About 10 with my husband and I. And we needed a third set of hands to help stand everything up.) Also, the digital instructions were different than the manual. I would say the digital instructions were way easier to follow. Overall, I love my new pergola and I’m excited to host my next backyard gathering!

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!

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.

We wanted a pergola to go on our outdoor patio to help block some of the sun but not block it out completely. I found this pergola on Sams.com and it was the perfect size and with the added outlet feature it was a no brainer. Some of the wood pieces came warped which made installation a bit challenging but I made it work.

Purchased this Pergola on-line, it was delivered in multiple boxes. We have a long steep driveway and the delivery company dropped the boxes at the bottom of the driveway. Not acceptable since other companies have delivered to our doorstep. For the price the pergola is good value for money. The instructions are easy to follow and for the most part it fits together fairly easily. Its a 2 person job and I was able to assemble it over the weekend with my wife. Some of the bolts used to hold the base to the top are a bit short, longer bolts would make it easier to assemble and provide more threads for the nuts to hold on to. We live in southern CA and the slats provide some shade, I recommend adding a Pergola Shade Cover for additional protection.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I built a patio in our back yard and we added this pergola to that space. It is now a beautiful feature that is also functional with the power ports. I was able to sting some colorful outdoor lights around the top of the pergola so we can set the mood after dark. I was also able to build a removable projector mount that allows us to watch movies projected onto a nearby wall. We're really enjoying the space more than we imagined! Building the pergola was a little challenging at times because a couple of the long bolts cross-threaded into their respective nuts...so they ended up locking up and stripped the threads. There were a couple of extra nuts/bolts so it wasn't a major concern. However even with the extras, there was 1 long bolt that I simply have to live with knowing that it didn't fasten completely/tightly. All-in-all, I am very satisfied with this pergola and would definitely recommend it to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this this summer for my backyard floating deck. It is perfect. Easy to assemble. Did take 2-3 people. 2 would have been fine but needed the third because on of the 2 was a tad to short to do something’s. Looks great! An amazing feature to our backyard! So glad I purchased

Great Pergola. Pretty solid. putting it together wasn't difficult. The provided paper instructions in my opinion was confusing but the app was excellent on instruction guidance. The slotted joist pre-drilled screw holes did not match the other predrilled holes to mount on. Some wood pieces were little warped but that's expected of wood. Overall I would recommend this Pergola. Would be nice to know what the finished sealer is so I can do some touch ups.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love our new Pergola. Construction and build was straight forward. I over torqued one bolt and cracked a support arm. They quickly sent out a replacement. HIGHLY recommend also treating with a water sealer before you build.
