[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I admit that I was sceptical, but the ease of assembly. The soft feel of fine cedar, sanded to perfection , nair splinter be found. Stright forward instructions, that must have been written by someone who has put one together first

Our pergola, which covers a portion of our patio, has added a beautiful look to the backyard space (of 5 acres), and has won oooh's and awww's from friends and neighbors. Each piece is finely crafted, and the installation was so easy to arrange and have done. The pergola provides a bit of cover from the sun, and enchanting ambiance both in the daytime and at night. We are very glad we made the investment to our outdoor space. It's given us another "room" off the dining/kitchen area. And...it's a great backdrop for parties and get-togethers.

Have had it for about a month. Put it up in two days; assembled the sides and cross members myself then had help, four of us, stand the sides up in place then fasten the crossmembers with one bolt to keep in place. The next day I permanently fastened the crossmembers, then put the joists and purlins up. Everything fit together very well, accurate holes drilled. Extra fasteners provided are always appreciated as it is easy to drop and lose something. Added fan and propane heater to complete. Very pleased with our purchase.

[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!

I am so happy with my purchase of this pergola. It fits perfect in my space and looks beautiful. We get so many great comments about how pretty it is. We had some issues the installers and Backyard Discovery made it right. I highly recommended anyone that wants a pergola get one from Backyard Discovery. I just ordered the patio cooler to go with it.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I couldn’t be happier with my pergola! Shipping was easy, came in 3 boxes and very well packaged. Directions were easy to follow, I recommend 3 people to assemble. Took us about 3 to 4 hrs to complete, hardware included was excellent quality and cedar boards went together perfectly. I’ve added louvers to my pergola for extra shade, looks amazing. Thank you backyard discovery!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this few months ago, didn't have a chance to install it until 2 weeks ago, I am happy with the product was very easy to put together instructions was easy to follow toke me , my wife and brother in-law about six hours to install, good material and looks very nice on my patio

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’ll admit a little slow becoming a pergola advocate. With the Texas sun, I do want a little more protection when cooking outside than these things natively offer. This 12x20 monster replaces a pair of 10x13 canopies. The wind has blown here more this year than in the past 60 years. My cheap canopies didn’t stand a chance. The vibration from the wind loosened half the screws and both simply collapsed. And they acted like sails before collapsing. The family joke was me getting everyone to help move them back into place at family gatherings. This baby is over 700 lbs and rated for 100 mph winds. I cannot imagine it moving for some wimpy 40 mph breeze. I need to conjure up some Sun/rain protection, but I am beyond thrilled with it. I ordered the installation when I purchased the pergola. A precise date/time was set for the installation from emails they were coming from Back Yard Discovery. However, when the installers arrived without the pergola at the appointed hour, I realized there was a disconnect somewhere. The pergola magically arrived Friday before the 4th of July weekend. I called the installers back and darned if they didn’t come Saturday morning to install this thing. They just left. Other than signing their paperwork, I actually haven’t goner over it closely yet. But the installers were punctual, polite, and very, very efficient. This is the summer for backyard projects that I have anticipated for a long time. This pergola is key to housing my entire outside cooking world and to have it dine in time for the 4th of July makes me very happy. Thanks to everyone involved!
