Love this Pergola. It looks very nice and is very sturdy. We put this together on two separate days. For a total of 11ish hours. The directions along with the Bilt site were easy to follow. The hardest part for us was attaching it to our concrete patio because it had to be spot on. We live in Oklahoma were it can be very windy so this was necessary for us. We used 1/2 inch concrete screws which require perfect alignment on all for screws on all four corners. We would recommend using 3/8 inch screws to allow a little leeway for screw alignment. Other than that it went very smooth and we have already had many compliments on the Pergola.

I was skeptical when I saw so many great reviews, but loved the look of the pergola. Let me tell you, this is the real deal. The reviews are amazing because the product is amazing. The whole process was a dream. The pergola arrived about 3 weeks after placing the order. It came in 4 heavy boxes. The boxes are packed so perfectly, each beam is individually wrapped and on each bag is an ID tag. We unpacked each box and laid everything out according to it's ID which made the process much faster. Then put together all of the horizontal beams (not exactly how the instructions are laid out) but it made it a lot easier in the long run. Once all the beams were put together we started to construct the four posts. As most have pointed out, it's much easier to have three people when putting the four posts together with the cross beams. My wife and I did it with the just the two of us, but it was very difficult. We used a ladder to hold one beam up while my wife held a post up and I connected the first few beams. Once you have three post connected it goes much easier. I'm still amazed at how well laid out the instructions are as well as the all the parts. Everything fit perfectly together. No parts were missing, all beams fit together without issue. In the end it took us about 8 hours spread over two days. The pergola is simply the beauitful and Backyard Discovery knows how to make a great product. The wait for this product is worth it. Don't try another pergola just because this is always out of stock. We wait 6 months before one day I saw it was in stock and ordered it immediately. I'm so happy we did! You're going to love it.

I put all most of the parts together and laid them out on a snowmobile trailer. Then my wife and I put it up one day. Just two mid 60 year olds. Everyone that has seen it loves it . My only complaint is that the shade sail wants to curl up in between the corner tie downs. Love the no maintenance !!'

Solid well made product. Installer mounted it in concrete footers on paver brick patio and commented on the good construction of the product. Looks great and included shade and box with electric and usb outlets a nice bonus. Have received many compliments about the pergola. Well worth the price. Highly recommend.

We set up this pergola a month ago and added a simple shade cloth pergola cover. It's perfect! Looks great and now provides a lot of shade. It was relatively easy for my husband and brother in law to put together with only one issue with the instructions where one of the pictures wasn't clear but didn't cause too much of a problem.

Excellent service and tracking the order all the way up to delivery. My wife and I assembled this in less than 10 hours. Nothing really hour just time consuming so lay it all out before beginning and between the instructions and the assembly phone app it's a piece of cake.

The pergola was well packaged, directions were good, and all parts were there. It went together well with only a couple bolt holes difficult to thread. Overall it went well with two people assembling, except a third person was needed to erect the main frame.

The pergola is just what we dreamed of! The instructions using the app were clear making it easy for my husband and I to put it together over the weekend.

Seemed difficult to put together but once we got going it went very well. Took two people about 7 hours. It is beautiful and perfect for our area! Excellent quality

I have problems with carpenter bees boring into wood structures around my home so we chose the powder coated steel in white. Beautiful design, sturdy construction and ease of assembly makes this pergola a winner.
