Just as it looks in the pictures!

Bought this during the summer and love it. We bought the installation package also. Imagine our surprise when one person showed up to put the pergola together. Imagine our greater surprise when he did a top-notch job in less time than the two of us could have done it. It looks great and made our outdoor area bearable this hot, hot summer.

Great looking and functional

Would Recommend

I bought this pergola 10 months ago. I installed it myself in a day with the help of my grandson. Installation was fairly simple and instruction manual is very helpful. Make sure to follow steps as installig some parts out of oreder can mean taking it back apart. Love the louvered roof as you can enjoy the outdoors when weather is good and stay covered in wet or hot conditions. Only problem I have dad is with the power strip that comes with it. Love the convenience of plug-in availability but it...

Shade galore!!

Would Recommend

Purchased the Pergola for our deck and simply LOVE it!!! We can now use our deck more often in the afternoon and just love the tremendous amount of shade it offers. The louvers are perfect to adjust for more or less light and/or breeze to let in.

POOR GRADE ANCHOR BOLTS

Would Recommend

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...

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.

Great Product. Louvers should be prefab

Would Recommend

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 Quality, looks like it should cost way more!

Would Recommend

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 ...

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.
