The Backyard Discovery 10' x 10' cedar pergola is a traditional shade structure built from 100% natural cedar — pre-cut, pre-drilled, and pre-stained for straightforward assembly. Four 5.5" cedar posts anchor sculptured crisscross beams tested to withstand up to 100 MPH winds, while the open lattice roof invites vines, roses, and climbing plants to fill in naturally over time. A 5-year limited warranty is included.

Product Highlights
100% Cedar Construction
Cedar is one of the few wood species that resists insects and decay naturally without requiring chemical preservatives. The four uprights are 5.5" on a side — heavier than the 4x4 posts used in most entry-level wood pergolas — giving this structure the visual weight and long-term durability appropriate for a permanent outdoor installation.
100 MPH Wind Rating (Pro-Tect Tested)
This pergola has been tested under Backyard Discovery's Pro-Tect standard and proven to withstand winds up to 100 MPH when properly anchored. The sculptured beams crisscross in both directions, distributing load across the structure rather than concentrating stress at single connection points.
Pre-Cut, Pre-Drilled & Pre-Stained
Every component arrives cut to final dimensions, with holes already drilled and a stain coat already applied. There's no measuring, cutting, or raw wood finishing required on-site — just follow the assembly instructions, connect the components, and anchor the posts. The pre-stained finish gives the structure a consistent, finished appearance from day one.
Arbor Roof for Living Plants
The open lattice arbor design was built specifically to support climbing plants. Install it in spring, plant climbing roses, wisteria, or jasmine at the base, and within a season or two you'll have a naturally shaded canopy that no fixed-roof pergola can replicate — fragrant, seasonally changing, and completely organic.
Decorative Foot Covers & Ground Anchors
Hidden ground anchors secure the four posts to the ground or patio surface, with decorative foot covers concealing the hardware for a clean, finished appearance at the base of each post. A secure anchor point also contributes directly to the 100 MPH wind resistance of the assembled structure.
5-Year Limited Warranty
A 5-year limited manufacturer warranty is included — longer than the 1-year coverage common on most outdoor pergola products at this price point, reflecting Backyard Discovery's confidence in the material and construction.

Important Information
Assembly is required. Components are pre-cut, pre-drilled, and pre-stained — no cutting or finishing required. Two people are recommended for assembly and post anchoring.
The 100 MPH wind rating applies to the fully assembled and properly anchored structure. Unsecured or partially assembled units will not perform to this rating.
Cedar will naturally weather to a silver-gray patina over time if not periodically re-stained. The pre-stained finish provides an initial coat — reapply stain or sealant as desired to maintain the original color.
This pergola uses an open arbor roof — it is not waterproof. It is a shade and plant support structure, not a rain shelter.
Contact Backyard Discovery for warranty claims within the 5-year coverage period.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this pergola waterproof?
No — this is an open arbor lattice design intended for shade and climbing plant support, not rain protection. It will reduce direct sun exposure significantly but will not block rain. For waterproof coverage, consider a louvered or solid-roof pergola.
Does cedar require treatment or sealing?
Cedar is naturally resistant to insects and decay without chemical treatment, which is why it's one of the preferred woods for outdoor structures. The unit arrives pre-stained. Over time, cedar will weather to a silver-gray patina if not re-stained — apply a wood stain or sealant periodically if you want to maintain the original color.
What climbing plants work well with this pergola?
Climbing roses, wisteria, jasmine, honeysuckle, clematis, and ivy are all popular choices for arbor-style pergolas. Select plants based on your climate zone and desired bloom season. Most climbing plants establish within 1–2 seasons and will fill the lattice roof progressively each year.
How difficult is assembly?
The kit is pre-cut, pre-drilled, and pre-stained — no material prep is required. Assembly follows standard instructions and does not require special tools beyond basic hardware. Two people are recommended, particularly for upright post anchoring.
Can I anchor this to a concrete patio?
Yes — the hidden ground anchors are designed to secure the posts to both ground and patio surfaces. The specific anchoring method for concrete may differ from ground installation — refer to the assembly instructions for the correct hardware and approach.
What does the 5-year warranty cover?
A 5-year limited manufacturer warranty is included. Contact Backyard Discovery directly for the full warranty terms, coverage scope, and claims process.
The Backyard Discovery 10' x 10' cedar pergola is a structure that improves with time — the cedar develops character as it weathers, and the climbing plants you establish in year one become the canopy you enjoy for years. If you want a shade structure that looks like it grew there naturally, this is it.
