Absolutely love this pergola!

Easy to assemble, almost completely by myself. (My wife helped to hold the sub-assemblies while I braced them) but otherwise easily a one-man job. I used 11X12X12 concrete piers for my foundation since my location is just on gravel over dirt. I added some roll-up shades and also added some sun screening material on the top for additional shade. Our Arizona summers are brutal and this definitely extends our outside time by at least a couple of months.

Great Pergola (16 x 12)

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.

Easy assembly with step by step instructions

I bought this 16x12 set and put it up very easily between my wife and I with no other help. Instructions were precise and everything lined up. Only disappointment were the cement screws they gave me in the hardware box. 3 out of the first 4 snapped off while screwing them into the predrilled holes in the concrete. I stopped immediately and drove to the hardware store and purchased Tapcon cement scres of same size. it went smoothly with the new screws. It looks awesome!

Decent pergola

Took wife and I around 9 hours to complete. Pay attention to the pilot holes for the corbels on the posts. Fairly smooth until one already split corbel came apart and had to be glued and finish nailed back together. The 14 top purlins were warped and don't fit together well. Had to redrill a lot of pilot holes as they didn't line up. Otherwise it looks good and much sturdier than our former metal unit.

great assembly instructions, no shortages on hardware, all pre-drilled holes lined up perfectly.

Great product when it finally arrived.(shippers fault) read assembly instructions at least once before beginning. One person can easily do up to step 3. Personally I would recommend anchoring the unit after step 4. It’s much easier to handle being lighter. Then add the rest of the wood. Directions were superb, good hardware and tools and wrenches supplied. A well engineered product.

Better than building from scratch!

Last summer we finally got to realize our dream of having a backyard pergola. I researched designs and priced materials for building my own from scratch, and then I looked online at kits to compare. I am so glad I did! The Backyard Discovery kit cost less than the wood alone for building my own, and the assembly was super easy. The only tricky part was anchoring it to our patio: the provided anchors kept stripping so I had to replace with stronger ones. But other than that small issue everything else came together really well. And we love sitting outside in our new outdoor living room!

Easy to assemble, very sturdy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this pergola because the reviews on it were excellent and the measurements said it would fit on our concrete slab perfectly. It did not disappoint! From delivery to set up everything went smoothly. Just take time to organize the pieces and it will go up easily. The pieces of cedar were of great quality for the amount that was spent on such a large pergola. It probably took about 8 hours to completely set up from start to finish. The directions were very easy to follow as well. Would definitely recommend this product and company!

Double Happy Place

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased 2 - 20x12 Beaumont Pergolas and placed them side by side on a concrete slab. I was amazed that a structure of this size could be shipped in 4 boxes (each). They are beautifully stained and we have received many compliments from our friends and family. My wife and I waterproofed and assembled them ourselves over a period of a week or so, not being in any rush. They are remarkably sturdy and we chose to add a polycarbonate roof in order to allow year-round use and prolong the life of the structure. We are very happy with our purchase and recommend this product.

We LOVE it! Looks Fabulous and superb quality!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this last summer and LOVE it! We placed it on our deck outside of our master bedroom. It adds an entire outdoor living area and so much charm to backyard! We put the plastic sheets over the top so we love to sit outside when it's raining! Highly recommend this pergola!

Exactly perfect -- as described

We bought this earlier this year after pricing out the materials to build one. This one was less expensive and arrived with perfectly cut pieces that were easy to assemble. It's exactly as it appears in the ads and we've received numerous comments about how attractive it is.
