[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!

5 out of 5 Very Pleased! February 15, 2016 Moturkeyhunter , Springfield, MO, USA Ownership:more than 1 year Usage:Every day Would you recommend this product? Yes Quality: 5 out of 5 Value: 4 out of 5 Read all instructions before assembling. Its a 2 person job and a third comes in handy when sides go up. Applying coat of stain is easier before assembly. Instructions were easy to follow. Looks great.

I bought this approximately 2 months ago. I live in Bath PA. Our patio gets sun from early morning to evening. The pergola does its job. This was thousands cheaper then other places. All of my neighbors love it. I took my time and stained it with 2 coats before I put it together. Once all the parts were together, my brother in law and neighbor help me put up the large stuff. We were finished within 3 hours. FOLLOW the instructions and its easy. Can't say enough about how well engineered this is. I wish this place sold a water proof cover for it.

We had looked at many different pergolas before deciding on Backyard Discovery. We could not be happier with the quality, beauty and quality of the product. We are so thrilled to have added beauty and value to our property and look forward to years of enjoyment.

I've had the pergola built for about 2 months now and absolutely love it. Its sturdy and heavy but also easy-ish to put together. Realistically you should have at least two people building one pergola. I would budget about 5 hours with two people to put it together completely. Overall great pergola, very happy with the purchase!

At first we thought that the building of this pergola would take forever with all the pieces , but the instructions on the app that’s provided made the process go smoothly. We love the cedar wood and the looks of this pergola. We were happy to have every piece and tool that we needed. The only negative we had was that not all of the holes were clean. We used a screwdriver to clean them and chipped some of the wood around them. Other than that great product. My husband wants a second one.

Easy to assemble, almost completely by myself. (My wife helped to hold the sub-assemblies while I braced them) but otherwise easily a one-man job. I used 11X12X12 concrete piers for my foundation since my location is just on gravel over dirt. I added some roll-up shades and also added some sun screening material on the top for additional shade. Our Arizona summers are brutal and this definitely extends our outside time by at least a couple of months.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this pergola because the reviews on it were excellent and the measurements said it would fit on our concrete slab perfectly. It did not disappoint! From delivery to set up everything went smoothly. Just take time to organize the pieces and it will go up easily. The pieces of cedar were of great quality for the amount that was spent on such a large pergola. It probably took about 8 hours to completely set up from start to finish. The directions were very easy to follow as well. Would definitely recommend this product and company!

We bought this a couple months ago and finally had good enough weather to build it. I loved the cedar smell that filled our garage! It came in 4 boxes. We stained all the pieces before assembly in our 2 1/2 car garage. We were able to lay all the pieces out on saw horses and the staining process took 3 days to get all pieces stained. The instructions were easy to follow and it took my husband and I two days to assemble without any help. They recommend 3-4 people to help and that's a great idea but if you can't get the help 2 can put it up. You just have to be able to work together!! We weren't sure if we were going to put the small top pieces on but we're glad we did and we love it. Good quality. We were very impresed with the whole process. From ordering to sitting under our new pergola... we love it! I would definitely recommend this product and company. We have no complaints at all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We planned our backyard patio around the pergola. We laid out the patio stone and ordered what we picked out; unfortunately they told us the stone we selected, or any color stone for that matter, was on back order for 22 weeks. Thank goodness we didn’t order the pergola at the same time. We didn’t want the pergola laying in the driveway in cardboard and getting wet. We had hoped to have everything done for Christmas but thought that was going to be a dream. We checked periodically on the delivery but no one was going to answer. I had counted the weeks out on the calendar and decided to order the pergola. My husband said this is a mistake – the stone will never come in on time. When I ordered the pergola it was scheduled for delivery in 10 days. A few days later the stones came and the crew said they would be on it immediately. Right on time the pergola delivered it silently and in our driveway. Never saw the delivery man or truck. Checked boards and hardware and all appeared fine. The stone completed and we immediately started to build our pergola. My husband and I started and our daughter arrived in time to help. Three days and all is done – one day before Christmas. We celebrated with a dozen family and friends at the table under our pergola. Couldn't be more pleased with our pergola.
