Ratings & Reviews for Backyard Discovery Stratford 12-ft W x 14-ft L x 7-ft 10-3/4-in H Black Metal Freestanding Pergola with Canopy

Excellent product - couldn't be happier!

We ordered this pergola for our backyard to go over our hot tub. It arrived more quickly than I anticipated, and in perfect condition. Having assembled many different things, I knew what to expect but.....no parts missing, no scratches or dents, instructions included, instructions were understandable, no missing holes or ill fitting parts. It was perfect in every way! We truly could not be happier and would recommend this to anyone.

I am very happy with the product.

Perfect! Just as described!

This pergola is exactly what we needed for our very sunny backyard! The inside cover works great for sunny days! It was fairly straight forward to put together also!

Great doing business with Backyard Discovery

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is as advertised. The canvas included was undersized and didn’t fit. We contacted the company and they immediately sent the correct one…..they said it was their error and no charge…….

The fact that it's steel very low maintenance..

We have had many people asked about this and were surprised that it is steel, not wood! We have recommended everyone to go with this as we live in hot Arizona, don't have to repaint it every year! We love it! Makes our yard look inviting!

Nicely finished metal Pergola kit

I bought this for a patio in my back yard. I wanted it to be the same height as my roof on my house and shop, so I built concrete columns on which to erect the pergola, covered in stone veneer (see pictures). In the process now of adding a light at each corner (not included in kit) (see pictures). I haven't even pulled the AC power center out of the box yet and probably won't end up using it. Overall, this is an easily assembled kit that really looks quite nice, attested by my neighbors' co...

An amazing pergola at a great value.

Visiting Sam’s Club, I saw a wooden pergola and asked the associate if they came in different materials, colors, and sizes. I was told to look at the pergola section on the website as there was a wide variety. Upon reviewing I was pleasantly surprised and immediately made the purchase. The arrival of the pergola was timely. While I didn’t go with the Sam’s installation team as the date was too far away, I got another team to install and the outcome exceeded my expectations when the pergola w...

Just WOW!

I bought the 12X10 Ashford steel pergola and am so happy I did! I hesitated on the steel vs wood but once it got built, I knew I made the right choice! It is beautiful! Assembly was easy and everything went together with no issues. Other than a few minor scratches (touch up paint is on the way) there wasn’t any missing or damaged parts. I am beyond pleased with my new pergola! It is the perfect addition to my new backyard makeover and I’m looking forward to enjoying it with family and friends ma...

Beautiful Party or Relaxation Place

I love this maintenance free pergola. I can sit in my hot tub and watch TV. It is super sturdy with no trouble withstanding our high wind storms. Husband and 2 others were able to put it together in one day. I think it adds to my property value. Would buy metal pergola over the wood as it is so maintenance free. What a great addition to my patio!

quality and installation

Good quality and easy to install

14x10 Hawthorne Pergola

Purchased last summer after months of searching. This one is exactly what we wanted, beautiful finish and look, and super sturdy. I put it together myself in about 8 hours, but would have been easier with a second person. Get loads of complements from guests. Love it!

Hawthorne pergola

We absolutely love this pergola! This company was so nice to work with, in ordering, delivering, instructions to assemble, everything.

Perfection

Bought my pergola a year ago. This will be our second summer with it. It arrived ahead of schedule in 4 boxes. I was surprised at the condition of the boxes coming across country but they were in great shape. All parts were included. We took one day to open the boxes and lay out the pieces. The next day we put it together in about 2 hours! It is gorgeous. And the powder coated steel is great for our Pacific NW climate Won’t rot or rust. I love it. And the price was good too. A lot less tha...

Beautiful design and easy to assemble.

We bought this pergola as a replacement for a "big box store" pergola that we had for several years. The difference is design, quality, ease of assemble and customer service is amazing. We upgraded to a bigger size than we had. The canopy is a much better design than the drape over models. Very happy with the purchase and are considering an attached pergola for our back porch.

GREAT FEATURES ANMD VERY EASY TO INSTALL.

Very pleased with the shade cover and the power center that came with it. Added some side curtains rof morning and even shade.

Love my new backyard!

The pergola is a beautiful addition to our backyard. The crew of three that built our deck put it together in a few hours, they said it was the easiest pergola they have built and that it was the only one that they have built that wasn't missing parts and wasn't broken or dented upon arrival. Plenty of room for a sofa, loveseat, chairs, and a fire table. Can't wait to enjoy our outdoor living area this year.

Nice to buy from an American company

Just like the old days, when what you bought is what you expected. Couldn’t be happier with the quality, instructions, and overall results. Will buy again.

Great buy!

I bought this about two months ago. It arrived sooner than what they said it would. Durable and great quality material. Took a while to put it together. Make sure you read through all the instructions before beginning to assemble. Also, don’t screw in the screws too tight until you get them all in. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase.

Great so far!

My 13 year old son and I were able to put this together a couple days. I love the way it turned out. Hopefully the steel will hole up in the Florida weather.
