Excellent recovery
I've reduced from 5 starts to 4 stars because there was a problem. But the solution to the problem was definitely 5 stars.
I ordered a gazebo and it was duly delivered. Unfortunately it was too big to fit the space allocated to it in the garden. I contqcted Backyard Discovery and they quickly resolved the problem by delivering the coreect unit the next day.
Giuseppina was very helpful and a delight to deal with.

I recently got the Sarasota pergola and I love it! The quality is great, was easy to assemble, and the customer experience has been brilliant! I also found that the pergola was reasonably priced in comparison to comparators. The pergola has transformed my garden and it means I can also enjoy my garden even when it’s raining. I would definitely recommend this product and the business.

Fantastic Pergola
Website was easy to use..
Delivery company were in regular contact with updates.
My pergola was well built and easy to construct and you can't fault a company that gives you a few more of each fixing and washer etc than you need in case of damage or loss..

Good quality product but one vital flaw
It was really simple to order and the delivery was quick and well organised. The delivery company kept in communication and even delivered slightly earlier than expected. My new "smoker house" was fairly easy to put together although the nuts and bolts are slightly overwhelming as there's hundreds. They are all labeled though. What stood out was how good quality everything was. All the parts fitted together perfectly and the smoker house looks amazing finished. There is one vital flaw with the flashing. The instructions tell you to screw the flashing over the corrugated metal, however when it rains, water finds it way under the flashing and you end up with a water fall at the back, which got my smoker wet!! I'm going to have to take the roof off and move the flashing underneath the corrugated roof. Not really what I expected for nearly £900.

Delivery was on the day
Delivery was on the day, and between the times quoted, placed in a position of our choosing.
The product itself is still in the boxes as we are preparing the base, but it looks a well built, quality unit, and the reviews are favourable from owners, so expecting the pergola to be really nice
