FAQs
Does the pergola come with anchoring hardware?
Yes, it includes anchoring plates designed for securing the structure to a solid foundation.
Can the louvers be closed tightly to be 100% waterproof?
The louvers are designed to provide significant weather protection, but they are not airtight, so some moisture may pass through during heavy rain.
How many people are needed for assembly?
It is recommended to have at least three to four people to safely handle the steel components and frame elevation.
Is the electrical system weather-rated?
Yes, the PowerPort™ is specifically designed for outdoor use and includes weather-resistant covers.
Can I install this on a grass lawn?
No, for safety and structural integrity, this unit must be installed on a level, hard-surfaced foundation like concrete or a reinforced deck.
What is the warranty coverage?
Backyard Discovery provides a limited warranty; please check the specific documentation included with your unit for current terms and registration details.
Troubleshooting
Louvers are difficult to adjust or feel stiff.
Check the pivot hinges for any debris or obstructions and ensure the tension bolts are not over-tightened.
Water pooling on top of the louvers.
Ensure the louvers are tilted at the correct angle to allow water to run into the integrated gutter channels.
PowerPort™ is not providing electricity.
Verify that the main outdoor GFCI outlet supplying power to the pergola is active and that all internal connections are fully seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning assembly, ensure you have a level concrete pad or composite deck that can support the structural weight of the steel frame. The installation process is streamlined using the BILT® app, which provides 3D interactive, voice-guided instructions to help you identify parts and align hardware correctly.
Care Instructions:
- Periodically inspect the gutter system and remove any leaves or debris trapped in the gutter guards to maintain drainage performance.
- Use a soft cloth and mild soap-and-water solution to clean the steel posts if they collect dust or pollen.
- Check the ground anchors annually to ensure the structure remains securely fastened to your mounting surface.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure power washers, as these may compromise the powder-coated finish.
