[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!

Yes Quality: 5 out of 5 Value: 4 out of 5 Read all instructions before assembling. Its a 2 person job and a third comes in handy when sides go up. Applying coat of stain is easier before assembly. Instructions were easy to follow. Looks great.

Yes Quality: 5 out of 5 Value: 5 out of 5 My wife wanted a pergola to shade our bedroom and we finally found one that worked for us. I surprised her by putting up in and 2 days by myself while she was out of town.

I love the idea of this kit for the DIY’er. It’s like a huge Lincoln Log set. I haven’t ha stud opportunity to actually put it together yet. The transport company ruined a bunch of wood pieces and I’m waiting for the replacements to arrive. This company has excellent customer service and immediately addresses issues with a friendly and understanding representative. They are a model for other businesses. Although I wish my experience was much smoother, you can’t get upset when you are treated so kindly. Awesome!

We bought this product about 2 months ago because we wanted to add a nice seating area in our backyard. We love it! Backyard Discovery seems to have a lot of good products. We bought a swing set from them last year and they have both been great quality. The instructions are easy to follow and the pergola is pretty simple to put together for the most part. You can do most of it with two people but it would definitely be handy to have a third when you're standing up the sides otherwise they might fall down (speaking from experience). Overall, it's a great product and exactly what the pictures show you. Highly recommend!

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!

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.

This totally transformed our backyard into a new space to entertain. The size of it gives you so much freedom and flexibility in how you want to arrange your furniture. Now I just wish we lived somewhere warmer and could use it 12 months out of the year!

We love it. We got quotes for as much as $33k to add a pergola to our house, this was a much better option. Took a weekend to build, another 9 hours to stain/paint, but well worth it. I mounted a 32” tv up in the corner and it fits perfect. Would highly recommend.

We bought this a couple months ago and finally had good enough weather to build it. I loved the cedar smell that filled our garage! It came in 4 boxes. We stained all the pieces before assembly in our 2 1/2 car garage. We were able to lay all the pieces out on saw horses and the staining process took 3 days to get all pieces stained. The instructions were easy to follow and it took my husband and I two days to assemble without any help. They recommend 3-4 people to help and that's a great idea but if you can't get the help 2 can put it up. You just have to be able to work together!! We weren't sure if we were going to put the small top pieces on but we're glad we did and we love it. Good quality. We were very impresed with the whole process. From ordering to sitting under our new pergola... we love it! I would definitely recommend this product and company. We have no complaints at all.
