I’m glad I purchased this gazebo. It was tedious to put all of the parts together and I only had problems with a few parts. I had to really clean the pre drilled holes in the posts. The first few times I tried to put the bolts and nuts through, I kept catching some residual saw dust. I only had problems with the posts though. I did like that an app was available to look at the pictures a little better. The app and paper directions do not match completely. I primarily used the paper copy. I watched several videos on cedar gazebos like this one and I did not appreciate the difference between the Backyard Discovery Gazebo and the Yardistry Gazebo until I put the roof on with help. Backyard Discovery uses a frame to attach the roof panels to and the videos for other cedar gazebos do not have a frame. The benefit is evident when placing the roof panels. We put up one at a time instead of trying to hold up three panels before bolting them together. It came together so much easier than the videos. I purchased the Backyard Discovery Gazebo because of the look and the anchor plates. We get a lot of wind in my back yard sometimes and I didn’t want to worry about it during a wind storm. I wanted to use the biggest concrete anchors that would fit in the pre drilled holes. The wind ratings and snow loads were higher than other products. I’m very happy with how it turned out. I only finished it two weeks ago. I’m not going to disclose how long it took me to put together because I was doing it by myself for the most part except for installing the beams between the posts and the roof. It seems very solid and it is attractive which are my main concerns.

My gazebo was assembled this week. I absolutely love it. It provides a great hardcover roof and is the perfect accent for my backyard. It covers the maple tree stump that has a cement table top, we refer to it as our wine table. We enjoy relaxing and sitting outside around the table and now under the gazebo.

Our new gazebo has turned out to be the perfect gathering spot for coffee in the morning, pizza or barbecue on the weekends, or just for hanging out and enjoying our garden. Adding a few amenities to the already perfect and beautiful gazebo has made it even more enjoyable. We added shades to block the sunlight, string lights to light up the evenings, a speaker to listen to music, a hammock to nap, a fan with a light, a thermometer, and a bottle opener. Our desert oasis sits on top of decorative patio pavers. It was a great purchase and a wonderful addition to our back yard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] we actually bought 2 - the 10 x 20 gazebo as well as the extra large kitchen gazebo - we are very happy with both! They are solid and well made. We added plastic sides to the 10 x 20 to use it all year round. its a great addition to our deck.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this at the beginning of summer, and it is a relaxing place to share with my family. My backyard is relatively small, but this Cordova Gazebo (14x10) is the perfect size for a small table and our hammocks. The fact that it includes electric and usb connections is awesome.

We bought this a month ago and assembled it ourselves. It was a large job but the instructions were very clear. If you are not familiar with tools and larger projects I would recommend paying to have it assembled. The finished product is beautiful and we love it. It is very sturdy and is perfect for our pool side area. We look forward to using it for years to come. I could not be more pleased with this product.

This gazebo is every bit as beautiful as the pictures. We love the charm and warmth of the cedar. The only downside was the company hired to erect the gazebo (recommended by Backyard Discovery) did not secure it to the patio. They cited 'liability' issues. We had to do it ourselves.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got my gazebo installed last summer and I am in love with it. It is my favorite spot to sit and relax with my girlfriend and my dog and it compliments the patio furniture well. I may get the covered grill portion next!

Did a lot of research before purchasing this gazebo since the market has several to choose from. But my family and I decided on this one, and so far we are very pleased with our purchased. The instructions were very easy to follow, these gazebo took me and my son 3 days to build. But to stand it up it took 4 of us but for a few minutes. The only issue I had with the gazebo was some of the wood pieces were warped and didn’t line up correctly. That’s the reason for the 4 stars but it more like 4.5 starts. But I would definitely buy more products form Backyard.

This gazebo is built like a tank. Took about 12 hours to install, but definitely worth the effort. We now have a focal point in our backyard that everyone is asking about, and could not be more excited to use it all Summer! A bit bummed it is not pre-sealed but other than that no complaints.
