To start, I am not a carpenter but am handy with tools. I was a little concerned that I was taking on a little too much with this 24x12 Gazebo. I could not have been more wrong. The directions were direct and detailed but simple to understand. The hardware was well marked and separated into small bags. All parts were well marked and in good condition. The sheet metal parts were sturdy and arrived without bends or scratches. My wife and I built this unit in about 2 weeks. It could have been less but we only worked 3 hours per day. I purchased this to enclose my well water reverse osmosis system. I am extremely pleased with the quality of the parts and materials. All direction were right on and the parts were all cut perfectly. I honestly have no negative comments. It was a pleasure to build, the price was reasonable and the result was exactly as I expected. I have even recommended this unit to my friends and family with the hope that they will invite me to help them.

I purchased this gazebo a few weeks ago. It was very well built, and I'm very happy with the product. I decided to make it a permanent screen house by adding walls to the gazebo. I think it turned out very well.

Beautiful gazebo, sturdy, and will last forever! I love sitting under it in the rain with our gas firepit. My husband, son and I assembled it in 2 days. We are pros now and could assemble them much faster now that we know what we are doing. LOL Follow the directions to the tee as far as measurements when assembling the roof to make sure it is square. All the holes lined up, the pieces were marked. The one thing I would have liked is a touch up pen. Some of the wood was scratched and the really light color shows through under the roof- would be nice to cover those up. You need an impact drill for concrete slab and a tall ladder at minimum. We used a scaffold which was amazingly helpful for all aspects of assembly- instead of moving a ladder around all the time. The metal roof drains under the trim, though, which I thought was weird- to have it all go down metal, then under a metal piece that is placed over the wood edges. It seems like that might wear own the wood all around the roof.

Excellent quality and service. Kit came in on time and went together with ease. Lots of detail to parts alignment and manufacturing. We had one roofing board with a broken lap joint that Backyard Discovery promptly replaced (the process to order replacement parts was seamless). Very happy with the purchase and look forward to ordering future Backyard Discovery parts. Swing Set is next :)

I'm really happy with the gazebo. I hired a friend to put it together. Kudos to any homeowners who can do the installation themselves for the gazebo. Probably pergolas are easier. It looks so nice. I look forward to going outside each day to spend time sitting in it.

The gazebo came on time and the boxes were in perfect condition. We ultimately decided to use an outside installation company after realizing the roof was more complex and heavier to build than we first anticipated. We are thrilled with the completed project though we continue to look for ways to add mosquito netting.

We ordered this after deciding to add a 20x20 concrete pad out back to get us away from the house and have an outdoor room. It went together easy enough. Its not an exact science and it does help to have an additional person for the wood construction and yet another person to get the roof sections installed. Its gorgeous and we love being outside. We have started adding more concrete for an outdoor kitchen right next to it.

We are super pleased with the quality and appearance of this gazebo. Assembly was easy thanks to the excellent and clear instructions, and all the parts fit together perfectly. The gazebo is attractive and enjoyable, and we get frequent compliments on it from visitors.

Follow the instructions very carefully. Have all required tools and an organized assembly area. Have at least 3 adults for placing roofing sections in place. The gazebo is awesome. We have had it up for a week and spend every night enjoying our new peaceful place in our backyard. I highly recommend this product.

All the boxes came very quickly and had no damage. Assembly was straight forward and the instructions were clear. I had one issue and Backyard sent a new part within 3 days,. Great customer service! The metal roof panels were slightly bigger than the instructions stated, but everything went together well. Pay attention to the instructions that say you need 3 people for lifting up the roof. The gazebo looks beautiful!
