Wifey Absolutely Loves it.

I purchased this Pergola as a Mother's Day gift. I had a unique size area where every Pergola was either too big or much too small. After reviewing the online plans, I determined with my basic construction knowledge and tools that I could modify the 10' X 12' Pergola slightly smaller to fit my area. Even without modifications, this Pergola was good quality and easy to install. I would definitely recommend this to other buyers.

New Pergola for BBQing with family and friends.

Hi and I'm happy with the pergola. All came out well, I had my son in law and a friend put it together, definitely one needs two persons to do it. I'm in South Florida, where hurricanes are a normal and though we have not been hit by a biggie in a few years, every year we do get one, so we drilled down some sort of anchors and if it comes, we will tighten the poles and some of the cross-bars with adjustable wraps. Finally I will try to paint it with wood protection, Winmax I think it's called, every year. Ah, I'm also going to have a manually retractable Canvas roof built because the sun is burning hence difficult to enjoy in the afternoons. I'm happy and the Pergola is on top of a cement slab in my backyard, not on grass. I recommend it!

14 X 10 Pergola

So glad we purchased this Pergola. Quality is great and overall Pergola is substantial in size. Husband and I assembled ourselves - easier than we thought using the BILT App (as suggested by Backyard Discovery). 14 X 10 Pergola really transformed our Backyard into an Oasis, we are really enjoying having it. We recommend this product without any hesitation.

Not too bad

We purchased this one as it was cedar and was the size we needed. As many others did, I stained it all before putting it together. The stain that is on it is not intended to be anything other than color. My wife and I put it together in about 5 hours. If your not mechanically inclined minimally or not all that strong, then a 3 rd person would help. We did it with two and just on a few occasions did it become tricky. My biggest complaint it that the barrel nuts that were sent were hard to screw onto the long bolts. About 4 of them we never got to work at all. We still put them in the holes but they are not tightened down. Also some of the 2x2's were slightly bowed which requires you having to pull them into square to attach. Bottom line: Not too bad for the money. If you want a bulkier hand made pergola, your going to spend around 4K to have it done. This one is good enough for now.

Pretty nice addition overall

I bought this with the installation option. Delivery company was good in keeping me up to date. The install was a bit delayed on the installer part, but got it done. I think there are 2 things needed on this pergola. 1) it needs to have a sealant out of the box... when you have installers they aren’t going to give you time to unbox and coat with sealant. It’s difficult to adequately apply once it’s assembled. 2) the footers are definitely the weakest point in this pergola. They don’t include hardware to attach to a wood deck either. I ended up spending another $100 and bought 4 pylex 6x6 black metal bases that securely anchor the posts. Other than these 2 things, it’s a nice looking pergola.

Perfect Pergola!

I was concerned about the product being delivered by truck but the driver unloaded the boxes and roll them into my garage with a pallet jack. Fairly easy to assemble but I do suggest three people when you go to put the Four Corners together. No problems with components or Hardware. We absolutely love this product and this made a nice addition to our backyard.

Nice, solid pergola

This is a nice, solid pergola. Not too hard to assemble. We had a handful of teenaged boys figure out the assembly with a little adult guidance. Took about 4 hours. We had created some concrete pedestals for anchoring in advance which worked well. It looks good and is quite nice for the price. The reasons for only 4 stars are the hardware and shipping, Some of the screws for the top pieces are a bit cheap and strip easily. We ended up replacing some with higher quality ones. For the shipping it took double the expected time and we received no advanced call about the curbside delivery as promised. I just happened to look out the window and see the truck. If I hadn't been home, they would have just left it on the curb unattended. Other than that, it's a solid item and would consider buying again.

Solid Pergola

Very happy with finished product, wood was not warped or bowed, straight forward assembly. Was able to assemble with one person, but two recommended when two sides are brought to vertical and until first crossbeam installed to hold sides stable I sealed all wood before assembly by using a roller. A couple bolts cross-threaded, but extra hardware provided, so no problems. Would buy product again.

Beautiful piece!

We love the look and style of this pergola and would definitely recommend this product. Do bear in mind however, that it DOES need two people to set up and if you are not handy with tools, its going to take you 4-6 hours or more to set up. As has been mentioned, the hardware can be a little tough as all the bolts/screws have been painted, but my husband was able to make them all work. Find screws and bolts that work together (some pairs worked together better than others) BEFORE you get on the ladder! We also had a few slightly warped boards which made some of the fitting a little tough but we were able to make it work and it didn't affect the look of the finished product. We thought we were going to have to make some recuts but boards that didn't fit at first fit as it went together. Also someone mentioned its not cedar but pine. My husband said the same thing: smells like pine, light weight wood and we had a little sap on the boards. Overall, we LOVE it and it really is a beautiful addition to our yard.

Overall great pergola!

We ordered the 16x12 and it arrived on time in several boxes. My husband put it together over a weekend. I will say that it’s a bit weird that the main posts are hollow and some of the pieces don’t seem to fit well together, almost looks like it’s a bit uneven in places but only if you have a critical eye like me. I’d say overall it has made a huge improvement to the look of our backyard. On it’s own, it does not provide nearly as much shade as I had hoped and we had to buy a separate cover to put on top. Again, for the price point, it was a great purchase.
