The gazebo is beautiful. I have received a lot of compliments on it. The built in power strip is a great feature. It has held up through some pretty intense storms so far. The dimensions do make it difficult to find netting to go around it. I was trying to find something to keep mosquitos out but no luck. I did purchase set up with the gazebo and that was a real pain. It took quite a long time to get someone out and I had to call back and forth several times with the company they use. If you can put it up yourself or know of a company who can I would use them instead. I was pretty frustrated with that situation. My gazebo sat in boxes for at least a month after having it delivered because they couldn’t get anyone out to set it up.

Backyard Discovery 14’ x 10’ Cordova Gazebo Review This is a well-designed and organized kit for simple construction with minimal experience. It is packaged and labeled well. The instructions are clear except for a couple of places I’ll note below. Delivery: The order arrived in Houston about a week before the estimated delivery date but was not delivered to us until a week after the estimated delivery date. The packages were all in good condition. They are heavy to move around. Assistance & Assembly Time: I was able to do the assembly completely by myself except for two times I needed a few assistants for about ½ hour each time. [Step 7 (Attach 14-ft beams to posts with 10-ft beams attached), Step 12 (Installing roof support), and Step 30-35 (Attach roof panels).] It is a lot of bending over, moving parts, and using a drill to install connectors. I worked on it for about 5 days for about 4 hours each day. Tools: It would help if the Screw Setter H100764 was magnetic to hold screws while lining up with the holes. A hammer drill and 3/16” hammer drill bit are needed for installation on a concrete slab. I used firring strips as spacers between roof panels during construction so they could lay on top of each other during assembly. Positioning: Layout and mark final post positions. We put the gazebo next to our house with a 6” gap between the house gutter and the gazebo roof edge. This was barely enough to pass the roof section up between the gap and took some extra hands to support this during installation. It also made installing the Corner Ridge Cap in Step 40 difficult as this is intended to slide onto Ridge Cap Channel from the bottom. We used pliers to bend open the Corner Ridge Cap on one side to allow this to clip over the Ridge Cap Channel and then bend back in place as best as possible before sliding into position. Assembly Notes: Recommend doing Step 9-11 before Step 7-8 so assistants can help with Step 7 and Step 12 at the same time. I did all roof panel framing before attaching sheeting. (Step 14-18 twice, Step 22-26 twice, then Step 19-21 twice and Step 27-29 twice.) IMPORTANT NOTES: Step 20 & 28 Ridge Cap Channel Assembly – Ensure the bottom end of the channel is above the bottom roof joist to allow space for installation of the Edge Trim Corner Splice in Step 38. THIS IS NOT MENTOINED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. Step 38 Edge Trim Corner Splice Assembly – Ensure Edge Trim Corner Splice is UNDER the Ridge Cap Channel. THIS IS NOT CLEAR IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. This is needed to allow installation of the Corner Ridge Cap in Step 40.

We bought one of these a year ago and just love it! We don't have a garage so when the weather is bad I pull my SUV under it. This spring we had two different days of 80 mph straight line winds. It blew a healthy mature tree over, uprooting it. The gazebo is just fine with absolutely no damage. My husband and grown sons put it together and although it took a while it wasn't too bad. Lots of boxes/pieces but if you get them organized before you start it helps.

Bought this gazebo July 2021. Assembly was… intense. You may want to pay for assembly unless you have a couple of strong people around. Love this so much. Still looks wonderful. Great size. We mounted a tv in one corner and even installed ceiling fans. We spend much more time outside because of it.

The gazebo itself is beautiful and very sturdy. But it took way longer to build than the directions stated, and more people than recommended to "slide" the roof into place. Also, there was no template for the eletric box. The Bilt directions differed than the printed directions, which was confusing, and we ran out of screws for the roof because of it. Overall a great product, just the directions were done poorly.

overall the only gazebo I've seen that should handle Buffalo NY snow.\nThe Bilt app is a real help. part numbers stamped on board edges are nearly impossible to read. Removable stickers would be a big help.\n99 % of pre drilled holes line up. overall would recommend, but installed myself because the installation company (Go Configure) stiffed twice. \n built roof panels in garage and had 4 adults install roof sections.

So it took me about three weeks to do during the hot summer days that we had, I actually did about a weeks worth of work on it in between resting from the heat with over hundred degrees temperature several days in my area. Everything went together fairly well, I was a little worried about the measurements for the four roof panels, but once I got it up there and all bolted together, it turned out great. I recommend just following the instructions page by page and don't jump ahead and you should have no problem at all.

It is nice looking and sturdy. The color of the wood is slightly lighter than pictured. There’s also a ton of imperfections on the wood and for how much I spent, it is a bit bothersome. Overall, it’s a high quality product. I really liked the option to pay extra for installation. The guys did a good job setting it up overall, though it did prevent us from noticing the imperfections prior to setting it up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I assembled the gazebo over a period of 3 days. Watching a video with organization recommendations was very helpful. As noted in the very thorough instructions, positioning the roof panels requires additional help. In the end, you have an extremely attractive and rugged structure. It’s a bargain if you are comfortable with the assembly, or if you can contract the assembly for a reasonable price.
