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 bought this pergola at the end of last year and installed it myself. The delivery was smooth and building the pergola was not too difficult. There were a few times I needed another person to help, but it went quickly. We chose to wrap the tops with vines to add a little more shade and greenery to the yard. It has been our favorite place to hang out around a fire pit during the winter and now hang out in the evening during the warmer months.

Backyard Discovery must have made improvements to the QA of this product because mine fit together perfectly! The most time consuming part was re-staining it to fit the look I was going for, but it was well worth it. I was able to set it up over the course of an afternoon and couldn't be happier with the end result. At this price point and the ease of setup, I wouldn't recommend any other pergola.

This comes in four big boxes weighing around 170lbs.each. All boards and hardware are labeled well. Me and a friend pre assembled most of it during the week in my garage. Brought in some more muscle on Saturday to carry the assembled pieces out back to the patio. With three guys we had it up and anchored in about 3 hours. Follow the instructions and lay everything out according to part numbers and you will be fine. Pre assembling saved a lot of time on Saturday.

Altogether a good product. We put it up Christmas Day and Boxing Day, with some help from my brother who was visiting. There were some boards that were a bit warped but it wasn't enough to keep it from going together. We did need to re-drill a few holes that didn't line up properly, but we had tools so it wasn't a problem. AND they included extra hardware of every kind, which we didn't actually need with this kit but have with others (which can be a real nuisance). The least satisfactory issue was the freight company, Estes Freight. It sat in the Phoenix warehouse for a week before they got it out to us, and no-one there would answer the phone or return our calls.

[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!

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!

We love this addition to our backyard. It turned it from a yard to basically another room in our house. When the weather is nice, we hang out there all the time. The outlets are nice because we added Italian wedding lights and it looks like our backyard is a high end restaurant patio!

Yes Quality: 5 out of 5 Value: 5 out of 5 My wife wanted a pergola to shade our bedroom and we finally found one that worked for us. I surprised her by putting up in and 2 days by myself while she was out of town.

This will be the second summer we have used this pergola. I am still pleased with it. I followed others advice and treated the wood with spar urethane before assembly. It would be easier to assemble with a couple adults. However, I was able to put it up with a little help from my 11 year old daughter. When the Oklahoma heat ramps up, I put a shade cloth over it to provide more shade. Over all I am very pleased with the pergola.
