[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this in March to satisfy my desire for a covered deck. I wanted to hire a contractor to build a covered add on but it was way to expensive. I'm so glad I found this gazebo. I have not one thing to say bad about this product. It came in 4 or 5 boxes- earlier than expected which was a plus. The first thing I recommend is to find the box with the instructions and follow them from start to finish and you will not have any issues. It will start with telling how to unpack the boxes and lay everything out... yes guys, this is important. This product came with 4 clamps, drill bits, just about all you need to get the job done. You will be amazed how quality this product is. All the boards were pre-cut, pre- notched, pre- drilled, everything fit just as it was supposed to. We did have to change the order up a tad bit since we were building it on our deck up against the roof on the house, but it still worked great. It was designed to be built in the open. We also added guttering to ours to help keep the splatters down. (something to be considered as an add on maybe- it looks great) We have gotten so many compliments on it and everyone in agreement with how solid it is and well built. I hope this review lets you know just how much you need one of these. I don't think we've ever made a better purchase or have been happier than we are with this one. Don't think twice - just buy it. You won't be sorry. It''s now November and we still love it. I tell myself every day what a great investment this was

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were so impressed with the Backyard Discovery pergola that we purchased last summer, we purchased the 14x 10 Cordova Gazebo last fall to compliment our new pool. The quality is just as nice s the pergola (even better with the thicker corner posts). The instructions we simple to follow and my husband and I assembled this together without any difficulties or confusion. The company kept us informed regarding the shipping logistics when we had questions about the delivery. The shipment arrived undamaged and complete. This gazebo is a game changer for our backyard and provides much needed relief from the Gulf Coast sun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this in the Spring of 23. Everything about this product has been OUTSTANDING! Starting with ordering and ongoing into the future. Packaging (see picture) was efficient and unpacking/sorting/staging a breeze. Each part was individually and accurately marked. Instructions and assembly also a match! It really enhances the beauty and usability of our yard. We cannot recommend Backyard Discovery's products to anyone! (We do regularly) Our friends have consistent called attention to the beauty of the interior roof. We have our eye on a Grillzebo for the coming Spring!.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Cordova from Backyard Discovery in late spring 2023 and it's been fantastic! It is so well built, sturdy and it totally transformed the look of my deck and backyard. There is enough space for a table seating 8 underneath and still room to walk around. I chose it because compared to every other brand, the build quality and ratings for wind and snow were better. Plus it looks beautiful! You can't build one this good, this safe, and looks this nice on your own for the price. I added some fans with remotes up inside and some lights around the edge. I get nothing but compliments on it. So glad I chose Backyard Discovery brand. Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this last summer and built it over a week doing a few steps at a time. The most difficult step was installing the roof segments. It was definitely necessary to have at least 3 more sets of hands to help. We store a golf cart underneath but also use it for our pellet smoker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kit was complete and had extra parts for the hardware and fasteners. The Directions were in two languages, the important one for me being "English"! It took three men to perform the roof install as you needed to be about %' 10" or taller. I am a semi professional modeler and am used to hard to follow Building directions...these we hard to follow. Study the pictures very closely, every little detail tells a story of assembly. It helps if more than one person look at the directions. But we figured it out! The attached picture shows the final outta the box Gazebo! I put Clear Large Christmas Lights around the inside roof edge for subdued night lighting and it looks great! Am going to buy for set of "magnetic screening" panels that can be let down or tied back to control breeze and some direct sunlight as well as bugs. I recommend a good buy. If the directions were more clear it woulda been a "Five Star" product!

This Gazebo is engineered well, packaged great and if you follow the written instructions you will not have a problem. Now with that said, please put the 10 hours of intermediate assembly time out of your head, it takes much more that that. I consider myself advanced when it comes to assembly of something like this and other than needing help to raise the roof panels and adding the side trim I built it myself and I am 64. The roof panel install took 1 1/2 hours with three people and you will need that many in my opinion. Follow all the tips and instructions in the manual. I really recommend spending the time to open every box and remove everything. Keep all the hardware in their bags so you can reference the part number. Organize the wood, hardware and other misc. parts. Regarding the kit I received, nothing was broken or missing. If you are following the instructions everything fits together as intended. If you are finding yourself wanting to rework something you are probably building it wrong. All bolt locations and pilot holes were where they should be. I built this Gazebo on a new paver patio. The 4 x 4's shown in the picture were squared and spanned using the drawing in the manual to support the Gazebo and are buried in concrete 30" down. I did not want to anchor the Gazebo to the pavers or pour separate slabs but instead wanted to use Lag Bolts through the Gazebo columns which I knew were hollow into the 4 x 4's. Again in my opinion this how I wanted to support lateral forces and wind load. When you first open all the boxes and see all the parts the project looks overwhelming. But in truth it's not and if you take your time you will be happy with the build. This is a very robust, well designed and manufactured product that in no way looks cheap sitting on your patio.

We purchased this in 2022 and I assembled it in the late summer. It has proven to be a focal point for the family as we can still sit outside in all conditions rain or shine. It would be a lot easier to put together with more than one person but it can be done. The Gazebo was well made just follow the instructions and use the bilt app for added clarity.

Love the look of this gazebo. Does take some time to put together but well worth the work. Everything matched up perfectly. We had a couple parts missing out of the boxes. Luckily was some of the last pieces needed. Called customer service and they jumped on it quickly. That was extremely appreciated!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This took my son and I 2.5 days to build. I had a concrete slab poured to place it on prior to the build. Follow the assembly instructions and you will be fine. We are really happy with the outcome. We live in a windy area and haven’t had any issues. Very sturdy
