We bought this a couple of months ago but had to wait to have slab put in after contractor had a family emergency. Now that slab was put in and waited the 10 days to cure enough my wife and I did the project ourselves which took 2 full days plus stained it. Not bad being in our 70’s. Know that it is done we are loving the time we get to spend using it.

Delivery turned out to be a bit more of a challenge than anticipated, but the folks at Backyard Discovery handled the issue with professionalism and for that we are endebted. It took us a Saturday to construct the pergola and the kit went together without a hitch. The finished product is pictured below and we LOVE IT! We whole heartidly recommend the pergola and Backyard Discovery!

Bought this on 6-9-2023 arrived 6-13-2023, Assembly was easy took about 6 hrs. for 2 people. Well-built and great quality in making the parts. All cuts were accurate and holes clean and matched. no sharp edges. Really dressed up the curb appeal of our deck,lots of complements and several people asked where we bought it. Very Happy with this purchase.

I purchased 4 of these 10x12's and combined them into one gisnt pergola. it's awesome. Yes you need a minimum of two additional people to assist you. As mentioned in the other reviews some of the holes do not line up. I discovered this early in the build and purchased the appropriate long drill bit. From that point on all of the holes were drilled prior to assembly or drilled when assembled as with the ends. I did have to purchase additional P1 & P2 long & short purlins and add a 20' center redwood purlin of my own to join them. I did not secure the posts to the concrete. the weight alone keeps it in place and will allow me to move it if necessary. The result is spectacular. I even had enough pieces left over to make a 5th pergola. I just needed to purchase 2 additional joists and some P1's & P2's The quality of the wood is great. You just can't get this kind of Cedar anywhere else. Make sure you treat it with water seal preferably before or during or after assembly. Brush or spray works great. I used a 2 gallon garden sprayer. I am in a very dry desert climate and do not expect it rot due to moisture, but just to be safe I did anyway. Yes it may be a chore to build but it's worth it. .

I had my pergola erected last Saturday, and it's just beautiful. I love it. I've gotten a lot of comments on it already. If you follow the directions closely, install the BILT app, and watch the video, it really does go up easily. It took a contractor with two helpers 4.5 hours to put it up, and they said there were no problems.

I bought this last June, and it arrived fairly quickly. I paid my landscape architect to assemble it and with a 2.5 person crew, it took about 4 hours. Lots of pieces, but they figured it out. The pergola is solid and the color is beautiful. It has withstood several storms and gusty wind days this past year. To protect , maintain, and preserve the cedar for years to come, I'm planning to put a clear coat of stain on it later this month. I am really satisfied with how it looks. I just wish they made them taller.

This is a great purchase! We can't brag enough about how much we love ours! Easy to assemble. Keep in mind, it takes time, but worth every second! Great customer service! We had 2 small pieces of wood missing for the roof. We received it in 3 days! Amazing unit

I bought this pergola late last summer and it was put up later in a raised area. I'm very pleased with it, as it looks fantastic. A few people passing by in vehicles have slowed down and looked at it. As the decking around the pergola will be completed soon, I look forward to enjoying it for a long time to come. The instructions and labelling of the associated pieces were as clear as a bell. It is better for two people to put it up as it is rather heavy, but once it is installed, it is eye candy.

I bought this pergola direct from Backyard Discoveries and the pergola itself is fantastic. Fairly easy to assemble, my 19 yo daughter did most of it. I read a lot of the reviews that said the holes did not line up or that the hardware was junk. I did not find that to be the case at all. In fact I don't think you can build this for the price you get it for here. The hardware is not stainless, however it is powder coated and I did not have any problem stripping anything. It is very adequate and not cheap. The wood itself is Chinese ceder, It's not western red but for the price point It was fairly straight, and any minor twists are easily worked out as you build. I pre stained the wood with Olympic stain and seal #716. It was almost a perfect match. The pergola assembled looks fantastic!! My reason for only 4 stars is the use of YRC freight to ship this product. I know this is not directly related to the pergola or Backyard Discovery but please find a better company to work with. They were awful. They never called to let me know our appointment was not gonna happen and I lost a day of work. The shipment arrive 10 days later than our original appointment.

We bought the 16 x 12 Beaumont Pergola in April 2023. It was delivered quickly and the installation service Go Configure contacted us promptly, set up the appointment, showed up and efficiently installed the pergola. Great experience all the way around!!!
