10 ft. x 14 ft. Cedar Pergola

This pergola looks so expensive. Even my snobbiest of friends were genuinely impressed. Don't rush with assembly, and everything will go smoothly. I left the hardware out in the rain & elements for a month, and not a spot of rust. You will definitely need a helper, and a cordless impact driver is worth the investment.

This pergola more than met our expectations. The only issue we had was that it was delivered earlier than the estimated delivery date and we were out of town but they left it where we wanted and in the end we’re glad to get it earlier than predicted.

I left a 1 star review a couple weeks ago because after a month and a half, I hadn't received my pergola. After weeks of being told 'tomorrow' by the shipping company, I went and picked it up myself. The pergola is beautiful and the cedar smells wonderful. It took me about 6 hours to assemble everything except the 1x's on the top. Is give this a 5 if it wasn't for the shipping fiasco.

My husband put this together and he had no problems at all. It probably took him a few hours on a Friday night. We got it to go over our hot tub and it fits perfectly. This has stood up in all seasons in NY and we do not have it anchored to the pavers. It does peel but we haven’t sealed it yet so I highly recommend. We’ve had extreme winds and even with it not being anchored its extremely strong, heavy and sturdy.

The wood is beautiful. It took my husband about 6 hours to build by himself. He said it was super easy to do! We love the look of it and it makes our patio more inviting!

Our home is always changing--inside & out; & every change creates a new "pop":. This time we added a room!! It all started after switching out the last section of old board decking to brick, matching the rest of the existing bricked deck--improving both the look & function of our yard. But, looking out at the expanse of this all brick deck, even with colorful furniture & our usual riot of plants, something was missing. Somehow, we needed to frame that section, a place where we entertain and also shelter a lot of plants. (I'm a gardener). It's Florida; summer sun is merciless on human skin and, more importantly, all of our plants shriveling in our summer heat; they can't hop up and escape into the AC. What we needed was a pretty shelter from direct sun; we needed a pergola! And this baby is a champ. Ordering was easy, the perfect size for our spot, delivery on time; my husband Bill added 2 applications of weather coating, we hired the brick guys to assemble it (we are old :-)). And now we have more than a pergola; it is a ROOM-- partly nestled under our old magnolia, decorated by our happy shaded plants, and furnished by our colorful furniture (I am a painter), the pergola frames it all and creates the perfect space whose form is lovely and which functions to give us what we needed: a solid, sturdy, shade-providing structure. We already have subprojects planned: our copper pelican perches on the top corner; to add even more shade, we are installing lattice panels over the widely spaced roof slats, and we are adding electric outlets for some good old Florida fans, also hanging solar lights to line the top structure. That's for starters. You never know what might come next! It never ends. Thank you, Backyard Discovery!

I bought my pergola directly from BYD and shipping was seamless (as described). I had my handyman assemble it for me, and he didn’t have any complaints. The color is beautiful, it is solid and sturdy. I think it’s a great value!

It's a good value and quality compared to other brands. Putting it together was not easy, but it was well worth it. It looks great and it feels very solid. I haven't felt the need to attach it to the ground as it is heavy and will not blow over.

We got our pergola as promised and the pergola went up well. No flaws in the process. Just follow the directions. Does need at least two people for help.

[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.
