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.

Handyman and myself put it together in 13 hours over two days. Wife thinks it’s great. Pieces were well marked and the bags of hardware were also well marked. The only thing missing were two pilot holes but extremely minor point. Well pleased with the product.

Great product when it finally arrived.(shippers fault) read assembly instructions at least once before beginning. One person can easily do up to step 3. Personally I would recommend anchoring the unit after step 4. It’s much easier to handle being lighter. Then add the rest of the wood. Directions were superb, good hardware and tools and wrenches supplied. A well engineered product.

We are so surprised at how few boxes arrived for the Pergola. At first we were concerned and immediately opened the boxes to check to ensure it was correct. it was and each part was meticulously labeled. We had read the online reviews for assembling and decided we could tackle on our own. My husband our 25 year old completed the assembly in less than 4 hours. My husband had previously unpacked and laid out all of the pieces and parts, so it was ready to go. The organization took about 2 hours, to include ensuring both drills and batteries were all charged. :-) We are thrilled with the quality of the product! Great value for the price!

Pergola shipped and arrived within a week of ordering. Discovered a joist missing during assembly. Called customer service and they had a replacement on it's way in two days. Assembly was fairly straightforward but I recommend taking inventory of your parts, having a drill to fine tune pilot holes, and run all the nuts down the bolts prior to assembly. The coating tends to muck the threads up, making them useless. There were extras, but not many. I also ordered some stain as there are alot of touch-ups needed from shipping and assembly. Instructions were ok but take some time to understand so you avoid having to undo steps. It went together more or less as advertised. Added lights and it looks fantastic! .l

I'm very happy with this product. It arrived within the time frame advertised. Some external damage to cardboard box but no damage to parts inside. All parts present and of very good quality. We sealed all wood with three coats before assembly. Directions for assembly were good All went together nicely - predrilled holes lined up ok but required some freshening up of entry and exit points. Hardware was good and looked professional with nut barrels instead of nuts on the bolts. I had some concerns with the recommended anchoring method and chose to make 12x12x12 concrete with embedded brackets bolted to the posts since we live on a mountain with high winds sometimes. Project was completed in just a few partial days with two helpers. Very happy with the results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this last summer and LOVE it! We placed it on our deck outside of our master bedroom. It adds an entire outdoor living area and so much charm to backyard! We put the plastic sheets over the top so we love to sit outside when it's raining! Highly recommend this pergola!

My wife and I were able to build and install the pergola on our own. We loved the quality of the materials and how all the pieces came together perfectly. We did not have to re-drill any holes. Everything lined up and fit like a glove. One recommendation is you pay very close attention to the diagrams and make sure you are putting the pieces together just like the diagrams. We have a couple that we did not put together the first time correctly.

We bought this product about 2 months ago because we wanted to add a nice seating area in our backyard. We love it! Backyard Discovery seems to have a lot of good products. We bought a swing set from them last year and they have both been great quality. The instructions are easy to follow and the pergola is pretty simple to put together for the most part. You can do most of it with two people but it would definitely be handy to have a third when you're standing up the sides otherwise they might fall down (speaking from experience). Overall, it's a great product and exactly what the pictures show you. Highly recommend!

This pergola, along with the shipping time & process of ordering has not disappointed. It is an awesome addition to our backyard patio. Quality materials and detailed instructions. We are actually looking to purchase a second one to go over a hot tub.
