It took us a few days to put together and I am not handy at all. I was concerned about sturdiness but once it’s complete, it’s solid! I love the look of it. I would highly recommend this gazebo! All the parts were in the boxes, make sure you pre-drill the holes like it says in the instructions. Great product. Please make a mosquito net and sun screen for it Backyard!

Really enjoyed putting this together. Instructions and Bilt app. were spot on. Just take your time and it will be a breeze. Tip would be to get the main structure up and the roof supports built then stain/seal entire all the wood. Then install metal to roof and install the roof.

I've had this gazebo for about a month now and it is by far the most superior gazebo you can buy right now. The stain, wood quality, and metal materials are stunning. The heat rejection in the 90+F sun is great!!! This build is very strong and feels absolutely solid. Now the building process... first of all, delivery is super expensive but I understand why. It's VERY heavy. I didn't want to spend more so I opted to build it myself. With the help of my wife, and 4 other family members, we were able to finish it in 4 afternoons. It is a lot of work. The process is quite simple due to all the predrilled holes. But the sorting all the materials, drilling in hundreds of screws, lifting the roof up to the top... the instructions say 2 people are good but I think that's if you're a professional. Make sure you have people that are willing to dedicate time to help. BUT it is all so worth it. It's beautiful. Just make sure you get clear oil to seal the wood! I wish i had done it prior to building it (you need to do it to stay in warranty) but I realized afterwards.

[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.

We purchased our gazebo and you could smell the quality of the cedar before the box was even opened Our family loves the look, the sturdiness and the fact the food keeps the “insides” underneath cool on hot days. My son likes to do pull ups while we are out enjoying the time outside Having the electric box is also a great help for the lights we set up and keeping the phones and speakers charged for our all day events This gazebo is a home run in all aspects

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with the construction of this gazebo. When all the pieces were put together, I had a few neighbors help put those pieces together. Very sturdy and ready for all the abuse Iowa weather will throw at it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We did our research for the best patio cover and hands down it was Backyard Discovery! From the professional, knowledgeable phone rep, to the ease of the fast and seamless delivery and finally to the beauty of the wood and details. It is built solid and makes our backyard so much more enjoyable for gatherings with friends and family!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very satisfied with the quality. Don’t be intimidated. All parts are very well marked and organized. My husband put it all together by himself. Only needed a second pair of hands at the very end to put on patio. Would buy again and again. Great price!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased with how this looks. we put it over our outdoor kitchen and it is perfect. It covers it well so we can grill in the rain. I think we had to use a little silicone on a couple spots but after that, no leaks. Some Technical difficulties and frustration getting the missing pieces and then getting the workers back to complete the job, but overall very pleased.

I bought this as a 50th Anniversary present to us. It was a Very Rough Year for my husband and I. I was diagnosed with breast cancer end of August and before I could plan my recovery, my husband and I got Covid and the day after Thanksgiving he had a stroke. There went my Caregiver! After 12rounds of Chemo and 20 rounds of radiation and 17 infusions which ended exactly one year our children put this beautiful Gazebo together for us before we headed down to Florida for the winter. We haven’t had a chance to enjoy it yet but hope to do so starting this Spring. The kids had a few issues on the metal top but it all worked out.
