Save yourself a lot of time and money and build your own. This is all cheap 1" wood. You have to spend an hour finding 5 different numbered boards, numerous numbered nuts and bolts, to bolt them all together to make what should be just a 2x6x14 to save them on shipping costs. Wood scratches and mars easily when assembling making it look terrible before it's even up. Sheet metal is cheap and thin and arrived dented. Nothing lines up like it's supposed to cheap 1" wood warped and bowed immediately after short, which took an hour to sort into numerical pikes of wood and hardware. I am amazed at all the 5 star reviews, they must be fake. I'm a contractor and could have bought nice redwood and sheet metal and been done eith my own in a two days. 6x6s are fake and hollow inside, pre drilled holes don't line up, metal sheets don't line up. This was a mistake.

This gazebo was just what we needed to fully wnjoy our back patio!! We built it ourselves and you defeinlty need three people at minimum for putting the roof pieces up. However all the direction on the paper and the Bilt app, were clear and easy to follow! Highly recommed!

I originally gave a very poor review of this gazebo. Upon completion I'll bump it up to 3 stars. It does look nice once assembled. Assembly is a pain especially considering extra assembly is required to save them on shipping costs. Removing blue stickers from metal was a nightmare and the large amount of 1" lumber warped in the heat. All in all assembly wasn't the worst and it looks nice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my gazebo for its durability and great looks. As soon as it went up people have been stopping by to get a better look. I have it lakeside with a fire pit near by. It’s been a grat place for neighborhood gatherings.

The anchors could be improved as they were a pain to get in , I pre- drilled the Concrete and still had a problem with them. You should go with different ones as these never work out well. Overall I would highly recommend Backyard Discovery to everyone. Best Instructions ever. I want to thank you for all your help.

Very well planned out kit. Kudos to the designers and fabricators. One thing I would like to point out are the markings for the parts. It was a little difficult to read the numbers on the wood pieces. Dark ink on dark stained wood. Just had to match the image and measurements from the manual. Also some of the markings on the bags were a little hard to read as well. One thing that I am not really happy about is the edge trim for the roof. It is installed on top of the sheeting which means the runoff goes in behind the edging and can cause premature rot to the outer rafter boards. I suggest using a wood sealer on the rafters as well as foam closure strips under the roof sheeting BEFORE installing the edge trim. I look forward to this summer and setting up our outdoor theater while smoking a brisket!!!!!!

So far we love it. No issues whatsoever. The installation portion took me a little longer than expected, and certain parts of the process definitely require 2, or even 3, people but its all very doable. All of the parts/pieces seem to be good quality, and the instructions are mostly pretty easy to understand.

overall a great product! takes a little time and knowledge to build. instructions are great. will need an additional person to help! if boxes went in order of build it would have saved some time, bc finding the pieces amoung 4 boxes was a little time consuming.

My wife and her friend saw this gazebo at Sams Warehouse for $1600. Price was right so we ordered it right away. They let us know that Sams had ordered 6 of these and wasnt expected to come in for quite a while. So I got on to the internet to find it somewhere else. Now when I was doing this it was right before Mothers Day and this was going to be perfect for her in the backyard. In my search i found this same gazebo on your website Backyard Discovery. But at a substantually higher cost $2400. My wife didnt like it but I ordered it anyway knowing it was going to be here the following week. . Timing was perfect for her Mothers Day. I bought it and our sons came to put it together on Mothers Day. I have to say this kit was really well thought out. the instructions were so easy to follow. Even for this dum truckdriver. Thank you very much Mike

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this to cover a portion of our back patio and absolutely love it! I would say the directions are relatively easy to follow however multiple pieces of the roof were warped causing me to get the saw out to correct the overhang specifications. Roof assembly is without question a 4 person job - unless you are really trying to risk safety (I build all the time and am good with carpentry). Other than the building concerns the finished product is excelllent, looks excellent
