Beautiful Pergola very stylish and sturdy.

The price for something that will last us forever is great! Customer service has been so helpful twice! Once to send us a new piece and once to order another one! The top pieces would be more beneficial for shade if they they were taller, but we are getting sun drapes anyway.

Amazing find. Price is unbelievable for the quality of this pergola. Completely transformed my small backyard to an oasis. Took me and handyman 8 hours. We put it on piers to give the needed height. BILT app rocks. So pleased. Highly recommend!

I have purchased now a total of 3 of the Stratford pergolas by Backyard Discovery. I purchased 2 - 14x10 and 1 - 16x12 Stratford's; these are excellent pergolas. The quality is top notch, and they are easy to assemble. The BILT app makes putting the pergolas together quite easy.

Hi-Quality products, easy to install, but time-consuming took us, 2 men, 9 hours to complete, using the provided installation app. Highly recommended,

Definitely going to need two people to put this together. Very sturdy, stable and heavy. Instructions easy to follow.

Rarely am I 100% pleased by a product I order- this is an exception. Sturdy, beautiful and zero maintenance. No parts missing, no holes misaligned- everything fit perfectly. Not sure a tornado could knock it down. My son and I put this up leisurely over a couple days but if we were to do it all at once 10 hours is probably a good guesstimate. Nothing complicated , just a whole lot of bolts! Power unit is also a nice feature.

We bought this pergola as a focal point to a new paved patio in the middle of our backyard. We hired a landscape architect and landscaping company to completely redo our backyard. We ran out of budget to have a pergola built so bought this pergola instead. The company installed it for us and the crew said it was easy and components were high quality. The architect was very impressed and said she would recommend to other clients. It overwintered great. We wiped some dust off and it still looks brand new. Very happy.

The Pergola is awesome! It took two people ~12 hours to complete. All the steel pieces were individually wrapped in plastic sleeves. The printed instructions were exceptionally easy to follow. The design makes this a very sturdy pergola that should stand up over time. The only caution would to be careful not to over tighten the bolts as you could cause the nut-weld to fail. I added an 8 x 12 sail that is constructed specifically for pergolas to give more shade in the summer. Am very happy with my decision to purchase this pergola constructed from steel versus one made of wood, aluminum or plastic.

We put this pergola on our deck and it is a beautiful addition, adding just enough shade without closing in the area or blocking the outdoor views. The galvanized powder-coated steel is very sturdy and won't need maintenance with repeated staining or painting. It is much heavier than aluminum or vinyl and we feel it will hold up well to the wind and hail we have in our area. We didn't anchor it because it is heavy enough that it's not going anywhere but we still could add anchors if we feel we need them down the road. Construction definitely takes several people. There were some issues with attaching the joist assembly to the legs as the hex socket screws were hard to get into the opening and not have them fall into the leg and not be able to retrieve them. Definitely need some special tools for this part of assembly. So far we love our pergola and could not be happier.
