Looks great!

I ordered the 10x12 pergola in early June 2020. It arrived in a couple weeks very neatly packed in 2 large, heavy boxes. We unpacked all parts and pieces and laid them out to verify all parts were there (they were) and to confirm everything was in good shape (it was). We took the suggestion of others and sealed all of the wood prior to installation. We completed the installation over 3 evenings, working a couple hours each night. It is definitely suggested to have 3 sets of hands to assist with the first few steps of the getting the joists installed to the posts. The directions were fine, and the installation is pretty simple and straightforward however the worst part of the entire project is the hardware. Most of the predrilled holes lined up (seems like this was an issue for many) but we had many cases where the bolt would not thread into the hub piece. Very frustrating although we got it to work out but had to throw an extra deck screw into a couple locations. The little joist end pieces, which are only decorative, were the worst part of the entire install as the hardware issues we had made for putting these up very difficult. When completed the pergola really looks good and we are certainly happy with the purchase. As others have stated the wood is very soft and light. We love the stain color and as you’ll see the wood is very aromatic. Be cautious when installing the purlins as we used an impact driver and if not careful it will drive the screw deep into the wood. For the price paid this is a really nice and functional pergola. If they sort out the hardware this will be a really great setup.

Love it!

I love this pergola! It was easy to put together as it was already precut and stained. Looks awesome next to our pool. I was nervous about if the stain would hold up during the winter, but it looks brand new. This pergola was much cheaper than buying one from Menards or Home Depot. Love it and would definitely recommend it to others!

20x12 Pergola
5 out of 5 stars review

Easy to put up and looks great!

I had 3 helpers assist assembling the pergola without any problems. It took about 8 hours total with multiple breaks in between. The finished product is a solid structure with beautiful cedar consistent color. The 6x6 posts are not solid cedar posts but feel very secure. The cedar and hardware are top quality. I would definitely but this model again.

Love This Pergola!

We bought this Pergola from Sam's Club. It said it was to be delivered in a month, but we received it much earlier. We love it. I had so many people message and call me asking where we got it. It is definitely a 2, maybe even 3 person job. I give it 4 stars because my husband did have to redrill some holes, as not everything lined up as it should. We also noticed after it was up, a front post split vertically down the middle. Otherwise, we love this Pergola.

Absolutely Love It

My wife and I mulled over getting this pergola vs building our own for 6mos. We were terrified it'd be cheap materials. Holy moly am I glad we bought the Discovery kit - it's not cheap at all. Very sturdy! Looked just as great in person as it does in the photos! My wife loves it, she hung some curtain rods and now does tea parties w/ her buddies (not kidding). With the price of lumber this kit is like stealing its such a good deal. I will say, I'd reco staining it before you put it together. Also, make sure you have a friend and two drills and two ladders to put it together - this pergola is no joke!

Fantastic pergola look

I purchase this 16x12 Beaumont Pergola last year, I was redoing my backyard and I wanted a bit of a fancy look. The set up was quick and easy and after a few added plants, my Pergola area this year will look magical. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting a great look. Sorry no photo, we have been plummeted with so much snow this year that it wouldn't do any good taking them yet.

Large and Sturdy

We have been looking for a pergola big enough for a large sitting area and dining table and finally found this one. I love that it is wind tested too as our backyard can get wind gusts and I know this pergola is quality and will withstand the elements.

Love it!

I love my new pergola. It's like having my oun outdoor restaurant table. When friends come over everyone wants to sit outside. It went together easily and we waterproofed it. It is the centerpiece of my backyard and ads value to my home. I recomend getting one. Fabulous!

Lots of compliments

Purchased this in June 2022 and my wife and I assembled the entire thing. It's not difficult just time consuming. It took us about 10 hours but again not difficult to do. The instructions are well organized. We put together most of the pieces in the garage and carried them to the back yard for total assembly. We have at least 5 neighbors who have asked questions and compliments us on it. We installed some roll shades as well for the afternoon sun and it's perfect. I expect to do a protectant stain coat this teak to keep the color so the cedar doesn't start looking gray like cedar does when it's weathered. Keep in mind this is Chinese cedar which is a bit different than American red cedar, but for the price, and knowing what you're going to get, you can't go wrong.

Excellent Pergola

We bought the 12x10 pergola last summer. My husband put it together in about 4 hours. We needed additional help from family to get the pergola in the footings, but was overall and easy process. It held up wonderfully over its first Minnesota winter and fits our space perfectly!
