We bought this pergola last May, my husband installed it mostly by himself, I only helped him to carry the heavy posts to the footings. Before purchasing this pergola, I had been shopping for a pergola for years. When I saw this online, I was drawn by its size and quality, think that it will elevate our backyard, and we both just completed our master’s degrees so I bought it as our graduation gift. The delivery took about two weeks to arrive, the crews unloaded the four packages in our covered porch. As recommended by some of the reviews, my husband read the instructions thoroughly, sort through all the pieces and group them. He poured 6 footings that is 16”wide x16” long x18” deep for stability. The installation of the pergola took him about two weekend days. It is absolutely gorgeous. We are very happy with this purchase.

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.

I purchased the 16x12 Beaumont last fall but had to hold on to it for a month before I could have it put up. I was expecting it to take a while to actually get it and I was going to have the patio decked first. It came in a week!! And it smelled GREAT!! I'd go out every few days to smell the boxes haha I love cedar smell. It may have taken a bit longer to put it up than normal because I wanted it attached to my house so we cut the corbels off of one side. Other than that it went up with no problems and I LOVE it!! The birds love it too. They are always hopping around on it which keeps the cats occupied.

Everything was very easy to install, I actually did the whole thing by myself (2 people would be faster and safer, but nothing is too heavy to do alone). One piece was broken in delivery, contacting about replacement but didn’t stop me from getting the job done.

This Pergola looks outstanding! Its a great addition to our backyard. It was very easy to anchor, which I thought it wouldn't be. I haven't noticed anything wrong with it, but i haven't sat and stared at it either. It would be nice if a cover was sold for it. So if anyone has any suggestions on that, plz share!

We have a 2 1/2 acre property and adding pergolas to key areas has created places to enjoy the different parts of the property in shade. Pergolas also beautify and have an elegance to them and protect outdoor furniture…all the reasons we purchased 3. The Backyard Discovery products are well made/beautiful with good instructions and good customer service. We purchased a 20x12 and financed it and it made it so easy to buy a larger priced item. Highly recommend the company and products. The items are just as pictured.
