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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this pergola back in May for my back yard patio. I wanted to spend most of my time this summer relaxing. This pergola did not disappoint!! My 17 year old grandson and his friend and I put it together in 2 days. It was very easy to put together and the memories we created was priceless!! Defiantly worth the money!!

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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this in June as part of redoing our backyard and we loved it over the summer. Everyone that we have had over thinks it is great looking and a real value. Our contractor was amazed by the quality of the kit and had no trouble setting the footings in the new pavers. The service from BYD has been so good that we also bought one of the large Grill Gazebos which let me keep grilling during a really wet winter here in Northern California.

Purchased several months ago and finally had the time to assemble. I hired help and it went up easily and quickly. It took 2 guys about 5 hours to assemble. It helped to have all the parts laid out. I love and plan to put shade cloth over the top for extra shade in the summer.

I purchased the 16x12 May of 2022 with the hopes of getting it up by July for a large family gathering and overall better backyard aesthetic. Things did not go as planned. The four boxes it arrived in sat on the side of my house until September 2nd 2023. I fully expected there to be rot and all kinds of damage since I live in the PNW with lots of moisture. There was a few areas of cardboard rotting to the wood but nothing I wont be able to resolve. (See pictures) It took 2 people (1 being an experienced carpenter) 6 hours to get it unboxed, sorted and assembled. The instructions are VERY CLEAR & everything is numbered. For me, it’s perfect. I absolutely love it. The carpenter assembling it for me was not loving that the roof sections are divided into 3 pieces instead of being one solid long piece.….. but that’s the drawback I suppose for something being shipped and prefabricated. Those details that a woodworker would see are things I don’t care about. A local company makes the exact prefabricated pergola delivered (all solid sections) for triple the cost. No thanks lol I’ll take this one instead!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Put this up in July before my husband’s retirement party. Makes my backyard look like a beautiful garden! Took two days for us to put it up. Really just a large Lego set - hardest part was digging footings in the clay.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this Pergola a few months ago and we love it. Delivery was great! Assembly was fairly easy with 3 of us (took about 5 hours). We did not use the top layer of wood because we used polycarbonate roofing panels to provide protection during the rain. We also added outdoor curtains from Amazon to provide an additional touch. The pergola feels like it's great material. Overall we very happy with the product. Thanks!

[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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this 6 months ago and it has been a great addition to our backyard! Shipment was fast and all the parts were labeled and easy to separate by using the instructions. The color we chose makes it so easy to decorate around and the boards at top make it easy to add lighting to. Having the power source on the side works perfect for electricity as we've plugged fans, phones, and radios up to it numerous times. The structure is very solid and we get so many compliments on it. We also waterproof sealed it to protect it as recommended. Definitely recommend this product!
