We took delivery of the 12 x 10 cedar pergola kit in early June. From start to finish, the process has been positive and the end result is the creation of a new peaceful place! Ordering was very simple, delivery arrived a day sooner than expected. The kit came in two boxes. Before assembling, we used a protective sealant. Easy to assemble, quality construction, quality hardware, excellent, easy-to-follow instructions. We added a removable light-filtering tarp on the roof for protection from the mid-day sun, and solar-powered lights on the inside ceiling. We absolutely love the addition to our outdoor space!

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.

I bought this a little over a month ago and built it myself, putting in a few hours each day over the course of a week. It was so easy to do myself and I only needed help from my husband and freind with the final raising and connection of the 4 sides. I truly appreciated how easy the instructions were to follow and the instruction app made it even easier. I have built a lot of things using assembly instructions and these were by far the best instructions I've experienced. The quality of the materials was impressive as well. The boards were straight and finished, and the cuts were clean. The grooves and the drill holes all lined up. The final pergola is beautiful. I get tons of compliments from friends now. I highly recommend this pergola for both it's beauty and how easy it was to build.

The Instructions for laying out the footers was really great if your doing individual footers for each post. I assembled the pieces in my garage, and carried them out to the site for install. It took me, working by myself for the most part, less than three days total to get it done. It looks and is sturdy. I priced Pergola's at 4 times the cost that don't look any better than this. Great Value!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I unboxed my pergola I was impressed but the quality of all the materials. The instructions were easy to follow. All the wood and hardware parts were present. I was able to construct it all in less than 8 hours. I live a an area of high winds and the pergola is very strong and stable. I built the pergola on a Trex deck and we are very pleased with how good it all looks. I would highly recommend this pergola to anyone looking to shade and frame your deck or patio.

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.

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.

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.

We built the pergola and it is sturdy a beautiful. It's no ones fault but my own but it isn't as big as I was wanting, it measures from the widest spot which isn't the post. It also didn't give me as much shade as I was hoping for. I added a sun shade to the top and curtains to the sides and I am going to make it work. It does add beauty to the patio.

Printed instructions in combination with the BILD app were well thought out. We suggest that moving the partly-built pergola, setting the feet, moving the pergola off the feet, anchoring the feet, and moving the pergola back on the feet, would be more easily accomplished before the slotted cross-beams are put in place. All in all, this was a worthwhile project, and we're pleased with the look and quality of the pergola.
