[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in July and assembled it myself with my son over several weekends. we did have a few few issues like the concrete anchor, bolts snapped they appear to be made out of aluminum and should be made out of steel. Some of the pilot holes for the purlins did not lineup so we created our own pilot holes. But overall it’s wonderful. I enjoy sitting out in the evenings with shade and coffee on the weekend mornings.

We bought this earlier this year after pricing out the materials to build one. This one was less expensive and arrived with perfectly cut pieces that were easy to assemble. It's exactly as it appears in the ads and we've received numerous comments about how attractive it is.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this pergola in the spring. We had 2 smaller resin pergolas in another part of our yard that provided a climbing structure for grapevines. We wanted to move these and provide a more elegant solution. High quality materials and clear assembly instructions facilitated the construction project. We've received many complements on the end results. We are a couple of miles from the coast and In the short time we've had it it's withstood a few hefty windstorms with no issue. This Backyard Discovery 10x10 pergola more than satisfied our expectations.

Our pergola, which covers a portion of our patio, has added a beautiful look to the backyard space (of 5 acres), and has won oooh's and awww's from friends and neighbors. Each piece is finely crafted, and the installation was so easy to arrange and have done. The pergola provides a bit of cover from the sun, and enchanting ambiance both in the daytime and at night. We are very glad we made the investment to our outdoor space. It's given us another "room" off the dining/kitchen area. And...it's a great backdrop for parties and get-togethers.

We absolutely love our pergola. We bought ours last year and it arrived on time right at our doorstep. It only took 2 people to assemble and only a couple hours from start to finish. It is the best feature in our backyard and we get so many compliments on it! We made a retractable canopy for it using wire, wood, and a drop cloth and makes the perfect shade on a sunny day. We even added solar globe lights to give it the perfect night glow. Even after one whole winter it still looks like new!

Kit is well thought out. The wood is not so good. I have had some punkie spots in the legs and there is signs of cracking now starting to show up after one winter season here in Michigan. Over all its ok but I don't know how long it will last. To bad the wood is not from North America.

After doing lots of research I decided to go with the 14x13 Beaumont pergola from BackYard Discovery. Boy amI happy I did! Delivery was pretty quick, kept me informed at each step, and the three cartons arrived in pristine condition. It was real easy to then transfer the pieces from the front of my house to the back patio and sort them into their clearly marked designation. Assembly instructions were very clear. It took my wife and myself about 5 hours in total to assemble the whole thing! No real heavy lifting except at the point the ends get “stood up” but even that was well within our capability to manage. End result is beautiful and the envy of the neighborhood! Added some lights and furniture and voila we have our backyard oasis complete!

I love the idea of this kit for the DIY’er. It’s like a huge Lincoln Log set. I haven’t ha stud opportunity to actually put it together yet. The transport company ruined a bunch of wood pieces and I’m waiting for the replacements to arrive. This company has excellent customer service and immediately addresses issues with a friendly and understanding representative. They are a model for other businesses. Although I wish my experience was much smoother, you can’t get upset when you are treated so kindly. Awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It all started because I needed a place to mount some solar panels. Skipping ahead (past a flimsy aluminum pergola that failed in the strong winds), I came across a 12X16 cedar pergola kit that seemed too good to be true. It wasn't! So after spreading out all the fragrant cedar pieces under my carport, I set about learning how to pour cement piers so I could transform an unused portion of my backyard into a relaxing home vacation spot. The instruction book was concise and easy to follow. All of the hardware was included, even with a few spares. The wood pieces were all cut perfectly. Only a couple of the top boards were warped, but by carefully tightening their bolts all the warp disappeared. I could have easily called for replacements, but didn't need to. When I first looked at all the parts and my untidy dirt area, I was skeptical. But carefully going through the instructions I was able to build this beautiful wooden pergola for which I constantly get compliments. As you can see, I have not even built a deck or poured a slab yet, but it is already being enjoyed. Oh yes, and those 4 heavy 400 watt solar panels that started it all now rest neatly on top, providing shade and free power. It's the good life!

[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.
