assembly was easier to follow with Bilt than with instructions that came with kit. Wish I'd have purchased and assembled in January instead of June. Texas heat was brutal.\nI had a little issue with holes not lining up. Ended up drilling larger holes to get boards lined up\nIt's now finished, sun shades are mounted and we love it!

Staycation is my back yard. I regret waiting to many years before I added the Backyard Discovery Pergola to my backyard. It’s created a living space I’ve never had in my own yard. My contractor was hesitant when he say the boxes. But I arrived back at noon and it was completed. He said the construction was high quality, instructions were easy. In fact he has recommended and installed several Backyard Disciry Pergolas after his experience with mine. My only regret- not purchasing it sooner. Thank you

I have been wanting a pergola for my backyard for years. Ordered the 20x12 Beaumont pergola and I’m so glad I did! I weatherproofed all the parts first. It took 3 of us one 8 hr day to pour footings and one 8 hr day to put the kit together. Directions were easy to follow. The photos say it all!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in July and assembled it myself with my son over several weekends. we did have a few few issues like the concrete anchor, bolts snapped they appear to be made out of aluminum and should be made out of steel. Some of the pilot holes for the purlins did not lineup so we created our own pilot holes. But overall it’s wonderful. I enjoy sitting out in the evenings with shade and coffee on the weekend mornings.

I purchase this 16x12 Beaumont Pergola last year, I was redoing my backyard and I wanted a bit of a fancy look. The set up was quick and easy and after a few added plants, my Pergola area this year will look magical. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting a great look. Sorry no photo, we have been plummeted with so much snow this year that it wouldn't do any good taking them yet.

The new pergola has made a huge difference in the appearance and usability of our back yard. The build took around 5 hours from boxes to built and was super easy to do. We're looking into adding the Saxony XL grilling gazebo down the road as well, in part because of how well-manufactured and easy the pergola project went.

Very nice product for the money. We received this a couple of months ago, and took our time sorting and staining Redwood. We only had two boards that were warped severely, but they were replaced within two days. Excellent service from the company on any parts or replacement boards that you need!

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.

Shipping was surprisingly fast. (1 week from purchase to delivery) Assembly was relatively easy. I put it together myself, with a little help from my wife and son when it came to installing the main joist beams. Finished structure was a little wobbly. But I chalk this up to the lightweight, soft, wood, and the manner of design which enables the whole thing to be hand delivered to your front door. (Main joists, which are comprised of three pieces bolted together, have a little too much play.) I did a couple of simple structural additions to firm up its integrity. We also added a shade cloth attached to the underside of cross joists. We did not use the top 2x2’s (intended for shade) as most were warped. We liked the idea of the cloth more anyways. All in all, for the cost, look (and easiness of constructing), we are very pleased.

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.
