Backyard Discovery Stratford 14x12' Galvanized Steel Pergola, Shade Sail Canopy, PowerPort

Wow! I was so impressed from the beginning when I received the 4 shipping boxes. Everything was so neatly packed and labeled as to which parts were in which box. This helped in assembling with the easy to follow instructions. The first day was spent putting together all the parts, because most of the long pieces had to be assembled before they could be put together as a pergola. The next day, two neighbors helped me put together the support frame and then everything else was a one man job. I was amazed at the quality of the material and its finish. The precision by which the bolts screwed into the nuts was outstanding. I have never assembled anything with so much accuracy. There was never a time where something didn't fit together perfectly. Since it has been up, I installed a wet rated ceiling fan with light and plan to add additional smaller lights to create a warm atmosphere. We will spend many days and nights in our outdoor retreat. Couldn't be happier.

We couldn't be more happier with our Steel Pergola. We decided to upgrade to steel due to the hot summers here in Texas and the zero maintenance. Assembly was very straight forward and was easy to follow with the instructions provided on the BILT app. You will definitely need 2 people for this job and possibly a 3rd when your ready to attach the top beams to the posts. Very sturdy and well made. The electrical box is a great plus as well. We are extremely happy with our pergola and look forward to enjoying it for years to come.

We set up this pergola a month ago and added a simple shade cloth pergola cover. It's perfect! Looks great and now provides a lot of shade. It was relatively easy for my husband and brother in law to put together with only one issue with the instructions where one of the pictures wasn't clear but didn't cause too much of a problem.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great addiction to our deck providing ample shade with a strong and complimentary appearance to the pool area. Part quality is top notch and assembly went flawlessly. Delivery was timely and boxes were undamaged. Totally satisfied with this purchase.

This was so straightforward of an installation for the most part. The only thing the instructions lacked was at which point to secure to our foundation. So we just did it when it felt right. We preassembled all the pieces that made sense prior to errecting. Since that was the most time consuming part of the whole thing. The installation took 2 people 4 hours total to complete. It looks AWESOME. We had 2 small setbacks, one missing bracket for the powerbox and one piece had some damage that basically wore the paint off a small fingernail size. The company promptly sent out a bracket and touch up paint.

Solid well made product. Installer mounted it in concrete footers on paver brick patio and commented on the good construction of the product. Looks great and included shade and box with electric and usb outlets a nice bonus. Have received many compliments about the pergola. Well worth the price. Highly recommend.

Excellent service and tracking the order all the way up to delivery. My wife and I assembled this in less than 10 hours. Nothing really hour just time consuming so lay it all out before beginning and between the instructions and the assembly phone app it's a piece of cake.

Absolutely perfect addition to our backyard. Fairly easy to put together with three people. Seems to be made of good quality materials. I'm very excited to see how this holds up over the next few years. My only complaint is that the sail shade that goes on the top does not stay in the clips very well, so we had to rig our own method of holding it on.

Everyone asks "Where did you get this?" We love this and I didn't realize how much it would add to our patio. It has created a poolside dining area with just the right amount of shade. I have a large round table that seats 8-10 people. There is plenty of room and I put a 10x10 outdoor rug under it. The electrical feature is perfect for plugging in blenders or phones. It is extremely heavy and well built. My husband and one helper put it up but could of used an extra hand! Delivery was easy and all parts were included in 4 boxes. Assembly directions were self explanatory.

Love this Pergola. It looks very nice and is very sturdy. We put this together on two separate days. For a total of 11ish hours. The directions along with the Bilt site were easy to follow. The hardest part for us was attaching it to our concrete patio because it had to be spot on. We live in Oklahoma were it can be very windy so this was necessary for us. We used 1/2 inch concrete screws which require perfect alignment on all for screws on all four corners. We would recommend using 3/8 inch screws to allow a little leeway for screw alignment. Other than that it went very smooth and we have already had many compliments on the Pergola.
