I purchased the Pergola about a month ago while on vacation and fortunately a neighbor was able to put the two boxes into my garage until I got home. I finally was able to put it together with my wife's help and now just waiting for a patio to be built with footing before we put it onto it's final spot. It was a good DIY Project with a few difficulties but it was engineered well and was easy to follow the directions on paper and combined with the Built App.. I put a coat of waterproofing on the pieces before putting it together using a BEHR Water soluble, transparent product. It looks great and we look forward to having it in our yard for years!

This beautiful 10" x 12" pergola has completely transformed my rather plain backyard into an inviting retreat! I have enjoyed sitting underneath it almost every day since it was installed a month ago and continue to derive enjoyment every time I look at it! I did my research and learned that Backyard Discovery has the highest recommendations in all different kinds of recreational kits, which was confirmed by my handyman who had previously put together BD playsets. He had absolutely no difficulty sealing, assembling, and then anchoring the pergola. I am so happy!!

Thrilled with the way this turned out. Was able to assemble 99% by myself. Only required a second person when standing upright. Absolutely beautiful.

I am so incredibly happy with this pergola! Assembly was a breeze with 4 people and it looks amazing in my space.

it's beautiful, easy to install and it met my expectations. The instructions were easy enough for anyone to follow, it was actually fun to build it with zero frustration.

I had to put this Pergola together it has boards that would not line up and most of the 2x2 top parts warped

I looked around before buying my Pergola kit and Backyard Discovery seemed like the best option, I was right !

Great pergola. I also have the 12x10 pergola. Both look great and classy. Easy to follow instructions. I would recommend at least two people on a couple of steps but most of it can be put together by one person.

The package was delivered on the day promised. It was put in our driveway so we opened the boxes an carried the parts to the back yard, which was supper easy since the parts are light and sturdy. My 16 year old grandson did most of the work because I am limited on how much I can lift over my head. We did the assembly is less than a day and it looks great and really sets off our concrete patio. to

I did a lot of research before i purchased my Pergola and everything came back to backyard discovery. We are VERY happy with our purchase from the start even ordering during COVID they were very responsive. We had two damaged boards and i made a call and those boards were fedex'd to me right away in great heavy duty cardboard packaging. We assembled ourselves we did have some tall men helping to hold things up until we made sure everything was square. Great instructions. I recommend water sealing BEFORE you put it looks absolutely beautiful and i would think much easier before its up. Overall VERY happy with every aspect really enjoying our new back yard!!!
