Last year I saw a display of the Gazebo 14 x 10 "Cordova" in a store and wanted one. I was told they were sold out so I tried online direct to Backyard Discovery. I was told that they were back ordered so I put my name on a list and was thrilled when I was called and told it would ship in about 3 weeks. My husband and I decided to wait on having the gazebo assembled because after taking down our 16 year old pergola we thought it deserved a new patio to stand on. We thought at first it would be a simple replacement project but "no" we decided to get a contractor out to re do the patio and stone surface and the landscaping which we plan on finishing this Spring. After the patio was installed in August we had a company come out and put the gazebo together. It was a company that was referred by Backyard Discovery for our area.They did a fantastic job, we were so pleased. The gazebo went through the winter months with no issues, no movement so now we are trying to get ready to plant some new shrubs and flowers this Spring season. We love our new patio with our Cordova gazebo. Sorry my picture doesn't have the flowers and landscaping finished but we highly recommend your product.

I needed replacement parts on 2 items. I spoke with Payton and she asked what I needed and where to send them. How great that is where I was not challenged on what happened. It is rare today to talk to da friendly and helpful customer service agent who I'm sure is reflecting the attitude of the entire company. I would highly recommend products from Backyard Discovery.

I just finished assembling this gazebo last weekend. I agree with the other points people have said in these reviews. The 10hr assembly is definitely not realistic unless you have two people experienced with this particular gazebo. I'm 53yrs and it took me 22hrs.. Plus another 6hrs combined from another person who helped me the 1st day and 2 more for about an hour to get the roof panels in place. Biggest advice... Pick the bilt app Or the written directions (they are slightly different) and follow it carefully! Once the roof panels are in place and secured by the 1st bolts it's easy to get ahead of yourself seeing what comes next and not look closely at directions. I was missing one piece from one of the 10ft "A" frame pieces (which backyard discovery shipped me 2day express with no problem or hassle) So we put up the other 3 roof panels and secured them. When we finally put 4th and final roof panel in to place I ended up having to loosen almost all the bolts to the other panels and nudge over panels to get all the holes to align... The manuals clearly say do not tighten until they are all in place and bolts started. So again.. It's easy to get ahead of yourself, don't skip something thinking you can come back to it, it's in that order for a reason. Also.. Pay attention to when you have to drill pilot holes! The pieces come with probably 95% of the pilot holes already there for you, but then the instructions will say fasten such and such drilling a pilot hole.. And if you read over it quickly you can think the pilot hole is already there.. Happened to me and wood started to split so backed out thinking I was using wrong screw,... Looked at instructions more carefully, and was like oh... I was supposed to drill pilot hole. Other than that it was pretty straight forward, a couple of the wooden roof cross pieces were warped making holes kind of a pain to align but nothing too bad. I definitely recommend taking the 2-3 hrs before you start and unboxing everything and sorting it, put bags of screws /bolts and washers in numerical order so they're easy to find, and be careful tearing open the bags, don't destroy the markings on the bag identifying what part# they are.. Some washers you'll use a lot of.. Then come back to them hours later and need more of the same part #. Raising the roof panels instead of putting a person on ladder in the middle we had person stand on ground, they used a 2x4 about 6 feet long as a pole to help guide peak of roof panel in place under roof cap, just had to remind them don't put 2x4 against sheet metal roof... Keep it on one of the cross wood frame pieces, it worked well. Bolted all together and tightened down its a very strong structure. It should last a long time and withstand the changes in weather here in Wisconsin and occasional heavy snowfalls.

This is an extremely well engineered item. I was contemplating building a gazebo from blueprints but I opted to get the Cordova. I was expecting to sacrifice some quality for the reduced amount of time that I would have to spend assembling and constructing it. What a surprise! The quality of this unit far exceeds my expectations. It is really a fantastic unit and worth every penny.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The gazebo was easy to put together as long as you followed the instructions. Finished mine up and friends seen it and purchased one too. theirs was even easier to assemble after putting mine together

Unfortunately I do not have the gazebo up some issues that I am trying to clear up has held up the assembly. I did see this gazebo in person set up in Sams club and I fell in love with it immediately and it is so sturdy and so well designed I knew right away that i had to have it. Again I cannot take pictures or video until I have it assembled, but be rest assured that I will share many pictures and video as soon as that happens. Thank you Backyard Discovery for an amazing gazebo!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice looking gazebo! I built the whole project myself using only the instructions supplied. I did download the video, but the instructions were good enough to complete the project. The project is forgiving enough that you don't have to be exact on your measurements or squareness, but the closet you are, the easier it will go together for you. I poured four concrete pads for the legs and got those nice and level and I made them 24 inches square and that have me plenty of room to make adjustments to the awareness of the base once I started the assembly of all the component pieces. I would recommend at least two helpers when putting the roof pieces up because they were too awkward for me to get them in place by myself. My only complaint is that one piece of structure was damaged by a tomorrow fork, but it turned out to be hidden once the project was completed and I didn't have to wait on getting a replacement part. Overall, great looking gazebo at a fair price! I'm glad it is finished and we can enjoy it. It took me about a month to finish it from sight prep to completion, but I did work alone on 95% of it, so a helper would save you a lot of time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wonderful gazabo. Exceptional craftsmanship and instructions for assembly with the BILT app made this a no-brainer. We did have someone assemble for us; however, no issues were noted. We loved this product so much, we purchased another for our pool, and the large grill gazebo. Should the need arise, I will not hesitate to purchase this product again for other areas. Don't hesitate, buy it. In my opinion, you won't be sorry!

Once we finally got through the rough patch of getting my service rescheduled after a rainy day. Purchased Feb 2023, assembled April 2023. The technician was very detailed and professional. The dynamic dual (2) technicians finished my gazebo assembly in rapid time. I am very pleased with the outcome. This was a tedious job that I could not have done myself. Please be patient and trust the process. I love the look of my backyard with our new Gazebo.

Great kit. All items were unpacked, sorted, and stacked for ease of finding/using when called for in the directions. The best part was the individual bags of screws, bolts, nuts, etc. that were easy to find once sorted and placed on a table for ease in finding when needed. The hardest part was pouring the concrete footers to ensure a solid anchoring of the assembly. Assembling the frame was simple and made it easy to pre-place at the footer locations to ensure everything was in its proper place. Once placed and temporarily anchored, the assembly of the roof panels was simple. You will most definitely need a minimum of two people to place the panels, but three would be better. Finishing up was easy and only required tightening all the remaining bolts and completing anchoring the assembly permanently.
