Great product 5 stars

Sturdy and attractive.

Great pergola. Love it.

This is the beat quality and most beautiful purchase I have ever made. We have so many compliments on it and even our contractor friends have said what great quality this is and it comes with EVERYTHING you need to assemble. A hammer drill is the only tool I needed to affix to my cement patio. It's simply stunning and so affordable.

Purchased this pergola along with the 16x12 gazebo and installation for both..spent ALOT of money. Let me make it clear the 5 stars are for the pergola only. The installation company..GoConfigure..does not warrant any stars. Zero communication with me from them..I had to make daily calls for updates. All I can say is hopefully someone will read this and save themselves the time and money wasted on dealing with GoConfigure.

I had our pergola installed before winter. It was a lovely spring day and we went out to see it up close for the first time and a beam is cracked. I was hoping to hang swings but now I'm concerned about the weight bearing aspect. We did have it anchored in cement.

I bought this last fall. No doubt, the most beautiful and sturdy addition to my backyard.

Overall the pergola is very nice and instructions were clear. Unfortunately the instructions for how long the base is were wrong. All the concrete was laid out exactly to their plan of 114" on center, but when assembled the posts were just over 115" on center. I recommend building all of the long pieces FIRST, then calculate how far apart the posts will be. I am a woodworker and teach engineering. Normally you would cut everything to size as you are building because there can be some changes in wood or other things. So for a pre-made, pre-drilled pergola it's understandable that some holes don't line up, kind of annoying the post distance wasn't correct as they will not be centered on my columns. One thing to add, all of the pieces are short and use a lap joint and bolts to secure them. Cedar is a soft wood, so I glued all of the lap joints and bolted them. Because all of the pieces are bolted together I would not trust standing or putting anything heavy on top. From a learning experience, I recommend building all of the long parts in sections and then sealing them before assembly. Overall it is a fairly good product. The only reason I did not build this from scratch is because the price of lumber to make something similar would have been as much or more than the kit. Had I known all of the long pieces were bolted lap joints and the 6x6 columns are hollow I may have just held out and designed and built my own.

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.
