Ratings & Reviews for Backyard Discovery Sarasota 16-ft W x 10-ft L x 8-ft 2-in H Black Metal Freestanding Pergola with Canopy

POOR GRADE ANCHOR BOLTS

Less than a month after my pergola installation I noticed many anchor bolts connecting it to my concrete patio were broken off. My installer & myself questioned the strength of the bolts before installing, they were definitely not what you'd expect to use in securing the pergola to concrete. I had to purchase concrete blocks to put on the 4 pole flanges in case of bad weather. Hopefully, we can find better grade concrete anchors. I love the pergola, but am skeptical about it withstanding a Nor...

Beautiful

Super sturdy and put it together in a few hours with help from my family. Looks amazing

It has great features

I bought this a month ago and I’m very happy with it

Perfect cover

It’s the perfect cover over our hot tub. It shades during the day and we can still see stars at night. We love it . It’s one of the best purchases we have ever made. It was a little tricky putting it together but it got done

Very solid unit1111

Very well constructed and easy to assemble We use our deck a lot more now Since we Erected our pergola The Sarasota model 10 x 14 . Very solid unit .

Solid extended patio area

I installed this in my backyard in Florida, and it gives great shade in sunny hot days and keeps us dry in the rain. Great for my table chairs and barbecue grill. Solid up to 150 miles per hour winds during hurricanes. Electric and gutters for rainstorms in florida. Just love the finished Product!

Louvered Pergola

This pergola is very useful for our church patio. It provides great protection from both the sun and rain, and we can easily open or close the roof whenever needed. We are very happy with it! I also recommend having it installed through Sam’s Club’s third-party installer for a professional installation.

Awesome Addition!

At the advice of my contractor, I bought This and couldn't be happier . It's a beautiful addition To my wooden deck And provides A sturdy And stylish shaded area . I absolutely love it The added ability to open and close The top Gives me a lot of versatility When I want to let in some sunshine and breeze. It’s both beautiful and functional.

Great Product. Louvers should be prefab

Great product, Louvers are tedious and should be pre-assembled. Took two people to put it together. The assembly time would be cut in half if the louvers were put together upon arrival and would provide a better customer experience.

Great features!

We love the addition to our new deck! We integrated the pergola with the railing.

Great features

Product is high quality and instructions easy to follow.

Great Quality, looks like it should cost way more!

I bought this a month ago and got it installed. Backyard Discovery did a great job with the instructions, really made building it go smoothly. The Pergola itself is awesome, the finish looks great on it and it feels like something way more high priced than we paid for. The quality of the steel is great on it and the opening and closing of the top works really well. We did struggle with the some concrete anchors breaking during the drilling and that was with using the recommended pilot hole and ...

Pergola

Very sturdy but took me 8 hours to put together and built in gutters on one side leak

Love this Pergola

Love how this looks in our backyard. Took my family and I about 4-6 hours (3-4 adults) to put up. It really was easy and only had a couple steps where you really need more than 2 people.

Very Happy with purchase

We bought this and love it. It seems to be very sturdy and looks good. Would recommend to anyone.

Pergola review

We’ve now had our pergola installed a few weeks! My favorite part of our new deck! The ability to have shade or partial sun is awesome! We were also able to implement this 10x16 pergola into our new railing so it looks awesome! With the rug and furniture it makes our deck life so comfortable and cozy! We added an 8x10 shade to the west side to block the evening suns which is a great addition. We love it!

Everything about this experience was Top Knotch!!!

This Sarasota Pergola was and is incredible! Instructions were perfectly explained and the parts are of complete quality and fit very nicely together!!! Very nice job Backyard Discovery!!! I have been a fabricator my whole life and this was executed beautifully!!!!!!!!

Great quality

Extremely pleased with the quality of the pergola. It was simple to install and has greatly improved our backyard.

Great Pergola

I looked at serveral of this style of pergolas. The instructions were great. The best set of instructions I've used actually. We built it from start to finish in 3 hours. It works just as I expected. Great Product.

Beautiful

Beautiful 16x10 steel pergola. Sturdy and easy to open/close the louvers. Do yourself a favor and purchase the offered installation when you buy the pergola. It’s a beast to assemble and you don’t know who you’re getting as a contractor if you try to find one on your own. Also you have to be very careful not to scratch the pieces. Like other reviews, the task of anchoring into our patio was the biggest problem. Discovery’s customer service was hands down the best service from a company that we’v...
