Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Backyard Discovery Cedar Pergola is the entry at number 10 in this guide, listed at £999.00 with a rating of 4.3 from 198 reviews. It is the one product here that the listing itself calls wood rather than aluminium: the Item Highlight reads "100% Cedar Wood" and the Item Type Name is "Wood Pergola". The product title makes the same claim, naming cedar, a trellis roof and a 3.7m x 3.1m footprint.
The contradiction sits inside the spec sheet. The Floor Area field states 5.9 square metres. The Item Dimensions field states 3.66L x 3.05W x 3.66H metres — multiply the first two figures and you get 11.2 square metres, close to double the floor area the same listing quotes. Those dimensions also give a height identical to the length, which the 3.7m x 3.1m title does not. The listing separately records 172 kg in weight, a 5 year limited warranty, and no UV protection alongside water resistance.
Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for this pergola. None of it comes from a test of ours.

Questions people ask
Is the Backyard Discovery Cedar Pergola made of aluminium?
No. The listing describes it as 100% Cedar Wood in the Item Highlight, and its Item Type Name is "Wood Pergola". The uprights are given as 5 1/2" cedar posts with diagonal braces.
How big is the Backyard Discovery 6214A pergola?
The title gives 3.7m x 3.1m (12ft x 10ft), the Item Dimensions field gives 3.66L x 3.05W x 3.66H metres, and the Floor Area field gives 5.9 square metres. Those dimensions multiply out to 11.2 square metres, so the listing does not agree with itself on floor area.
How is the Backyard Discovery Cedar Pergola assembled?
The listing says assembly is handled through a step-by-step interactive BILT app, with videos and images guiding each stage. The uprights are supplied with decorative foot covers that conceal the anchors.
What warranty comes with the Backyard Discovery 6214A?
The Manufacturer Warranty Description is a 5 year limited warranty.

The listing states "No UV Protection" under Ultraviolet Light Protection, while separately listing the pergola as Water Resistant.
What does the roof of the Backyard Discovery Cedar Pergola do?
It is an open multi-level trellis roof, described as supporting climbing vines and roses rather than as a solid cover.
