This pergola kit is well worth the money and easy to put together. It is definitely a project that you need some time and patience because there are very detailed instructions and you need to read and follow them to the letter. The kit came in three very heavy boxes so be prepared to have help moving from the drop off point to your installation area. The pieces are not heavy individually but as you put them together they get heavier and you need at least one extra set of hands. My husband and I had a total of 24 hours in labor putting it together. We did it after work in the evenings and did not have any problems.The holes were all drilled exactly in alignment and we only had one small board on top that had a little natural warp but we hid it by placement. No other issues. The bolts are all shiny black and very nice looking. Compliments the light wood nicely.We had a contractor give us an estimate for the same size pergola and it was 15k. This kit was 2500.00 for the 10x20. No regrets and we have gotten so many compliments!!There is one comment in the reviews that I want to add to. Someone stated that the posts are not solid 6x6 posts. This is true, however, they are very sturdy and we have no concerns whatsoever. The week we put our pergola together was the week of the terrible straight wind storm in Tulsa Ok. Limbs were down all around us but this pergola never budged.If you are kit instruction savvy at all and enjoy completing your own projects this kit is for you!

One adult (this adult) can put this up solo in a weekend. Does go faster with help. I've assembled two of these now - one for my parents attached to a wood deck and one for myself attached to concrete. On both I opted not to use the plastic feet that came with it and bought OZCO metal feet. The are more expensive, but stronger and finish off the legs a little more stylishly. For mine I also added corrugated fiberglass panels from Home Depot to ass additional shade and keep the area dry. This comes pre-stained although we went over the whole thing with stain to seal it up. Great directions or use an app - very solid and well made.

Several items look the same but they have pre drilled holes that need to be in the proper placement. Easy to assemble. Once you get a corner built, that is why you need 1 more person, the rest is easy. Took me 14 total man hours. Mostly by myself. Love the look and smell. Two of the 4 boxes came damaged but the product was not damaged. Happy with my purchase, 12x20

My fairly handy husband put this together all by himself over about 2 days. He said it was pretty straightforward except the top most slats do not come with any guides or pilot holes for installation and that was very poky. We had 2 boards that were damaged and also appeared not to be appropriate for our kit. We were able to obtain new boards within a few days by reporting the appropriate part numbers to the company. My husband attempted to pretreat the boards with waterproofing before installation but that didn't work well for various reasons so now it still needs waterproofing. We have a pretty small city yard and the 10x10 size is great for our space.Another comment about the delivery process. It comes in 2 long large heavy boxes. Choosing a delivery time for your order is apparently meaningless. The pergola did arrive on the date I expected, however I chose an afternoon delivery time because I had an online meeting all morning. Thankfully I was at home. They called at about 8am to say they were on the way. I said don't come until the afternoon as requested. I was told all I could do was reschedule to another day and I could not expect them to deliver during the time I had specified with my order. They had no response when I asked why buyers could choose a delivery time window if this was meaningless?? The delivery guys themselves were great. Just not the delivery process. Overall, we are really happy with our new pergola that I had wanted forever. We can't wait to create our garden space with this as a centerpiece!

This is a beautiful and sturdy pergola...so glad I took the plunge on it. It took 3 people 6 hours to build it. But it ALSO took me 2 part-time days just unpacking and sorting all the pieces and applying wood sealant. The wood sealing WAS time consuming. Knowing what sealant to use was confusing for a newbie, and the company doesn't give any recommendations as they say it depends on your climate. First I tried a paint-on spar urethane product that the hardware store recommended (we live in the SF Bay Area). But it took hours just to coat one side of all the pieces. So I switched to Olympic Waterguard clear exterior spray and wish I had started with that. So DO plan for 1-2 days of prep before building. I had a few questions for the company and, wow, they are open every day and pick up the phones! They even planned to FedEx us what I thought was a missing part, until I realized I had the part. Great experience overall! Very reasonable price for such a solid, beautiful piece if you're willing to put in a little sweat equity!!
