Really well designed “DIY” kit, with everything labeled nicely. With intense sunshine in Albuquerque, I added shade cloth, and redistributed the top 1”x2” wood strips (for added shade), and I’m very happy with it. I’ve already received compliments of how great it looks, and how well the 14x10 size fits the spot I placed it in. It took me 3 days (with my neighbor helping for 20 minutes, to connect the 2 main 14’ beams, otherwise- fairly easy for one person to assemble (of course- 2 people could build it quicker and easier). Great quality wood and assembly parts, and I’m looking forward to enjoying its use for many years to come.

I never leave reviews. And I'm the person that wondered why people say that. I assumed it's either because they may be trying to persuade someone either or way, who may be on the fence about buying a product. They are satisfied or dissatisfied. In this case, I am highly satisfied. The pergola is great. A few minor cracks in one of the 4 main corner posts, due to shipping I am assuming. I didn't call or complain, I didn't notice to I had put it up. It should be okay. I bought 2 months ago. It's been up a month now. Took about 7 hours over two days. I did alone. I had my wife to the corner post once I stood each side up. I attached all the separated parts together first in the garage. Then moved to the outside to set up. Went very smoothly. Please see attached photos.

We bought this pergola a year ago and love it. We actually bought two of them and they were very easy to connect into one giant pergola with just a few extra leftover pieces. It is very sturdy and has held up well through a Midwest winter and rainy spring. We installed our own shade sails under the pergola for added shade and it is great. Highly recommend this product. It was not difficult to put together, instructions were clear and easy to follow. My husband and I put up two pergolas slowly over 2-3 weekends, but you could do it all in one weekend if you wanted to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I unboxed my pergola I was impressed but the quality of all the materials. The instructions were easy to follow. All the wood and hardware parts were present. I was able to construct it all in less than 8 hours. I live a an area of high winds and the pergola is very strong and stable. I built the pergola on a Trex deck and we are very pleased with how good it all looks. I would highly recommend this pergola to anyone looking to shade and frame your deck or patio.

Just got this erected last week and couldn’t be happier. I had someone do the installation, but it was fast and had all the parts/good instructions. My carpenter said he could not have bought the lumber for this price and I saved a bunch on labor since all the wood is pre-cut. I do recommend sealing it before putting it up to avoid having to contort on a ladder. Now if my furniture would just arrive!

This is a two person project and was completed in under 8 hours. Everything piece of wood is labeled, including the screws. Instructions are easy to follow and downloadable app with instructions and 3d visuals ensure you move from step to step with confidence and ease! The finished product is beautiful and makes a big statement!!

I decided to tackle putting it together and the instructions were great. Followed them step by step and it turned out perfect. All items were as marked and made the instructions easy to follow. I did want mine a little higher so built the forms an additional 12 inches up. I also wanted it covered so we could sit under it during weather and direct sun. We used tinted clear pvc roofing panels layered and held in place with roofing screws. We are very pleased and wish all DYI projects were this easy.

I was impressed with the thoroughness that Backyard Discovery puts in their products. Written instructions and an app, some tools, and extra hardware. We stained the wood before assembly and carefully followed the instructions. It did take three to erect the posts, but the final construction was by myself. I highly recommend Backyard Discovery.

Staycation is my back yard. I regret waiting to many years before I added the Backyard Discovery Pergola to my backyard. It’s created a living space I’ve never had in my own yard. My contractor was hesitant when he say the boxes. But I arrived back at noon and it was completed. He said the construction was high quality, instructions were easy. In fact he has recommended and installed several Backyard Disciry Pergolas after his experience with mine. My only regret- not purchasing it sooner. Thank you

This pergola, along with the shipping time & process of ordering has not disappointed. It is an awesome addition to our backyard patio. Quality materials and detailed instructions. We are actually looking to purchase a second one to go over a hot tub.
