We love our gazebo! We had the installer team build it and it was well worth it. They had it put together in two and a half hours. They did a great assembly job. We can now enjoy our patio and it seams bigger. Many of our neighbors have stopped by and complimented us on our backyard makeover.

Absolutely love my gazebo now that it is together. Assembly however was extremely challenging. There is probably 100 pcs of cedar boards and 500 plus screws and other parts. The markings on the boards are small and faint on the ends of the board. It took me two hours of unboxing and relabeling each board with painters tape and a permanent marker. This up front work saved many many hours searching for parts. It took quite a bit longer than the suggested 3 people/10 hours. You need at least 3 strong people for the roof assembly but the more the better. The end result however is an excellent quality gazebo that I believe will last a very long time. This is much nicer than the ones you typically see in the big box stores. My husband did say he would hire out assembly if there was a next time, lol!

I spent countless hours researching gazebos. I searched all over for a very high quality gazebo that would last a long time and that looked great on the new patio I just installed. I stumbled on this gazebo on display at a store by me and I was really impressed with how well the structure was made. Even though it is a dark walnut stain, it had an ever-so-slight hue of red color on a couple of the posts while my wife and I were looking at it in the store. Also, we were looking for something that had a black roof as opposed to a dark brown. So my wife and I decided to keep looking for another option. We looked at other brands which was aesthetically exactly what we were looking for (natural light wood tone with black roof). However, the quality was no where near this. From the max snow load to the wind certification of 100mph, and the impressive quality of the steel roof and cedar, there really was no competition. As you can see from the pictures, there is no red hue at all and it really looks awesome against the gray paving stones I have. CONS: There was a couple nicks and scratches, as well as some waviness in the roof. Also, it comes with screws to bolt into the ground, which is an optional step. The screws to anchor it to the ground were not as high quality as the rest of the structure, so I bought concrete screw anchors (1/4” DIA. x1-3/4” L). They worked out great. Lastly, I love the electric hookup, but the cord was a little short for where we needed it to go by a foot or two. It would be great if the cord length could be adjusted. There are workarounds for this like placing the electric panel lower, so it’s not the end of the world. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a well built product and the directions are very detailed with all parts labeled. All of the metal roofing is protected by plastic film to reduce scratches during shipping. There are 5 boxes of parts which took me a weekend to assemble by myself with the exception of lifting the roof up. I used different anchors in my concrete to fasten instead of the screws that came with the kit. I also did not put the metal roof trim over the top of the roof panels like instructed, I put it under the roof panel which is more like a drip edge. The reason I did this was to avoid leaves, sticks, and acorns from getting stuck between the roof and the roof trim. The trim did not have to be cut to install this was, I will include a picture.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the several months ago and had it installed as well. That was a great decision as there are so many parts to assemble. The crew that came out was friendly and very expeditious in the assembly process.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had spent years running out during high winds or thunder storms, climbing on a ladder to pull the cover off my old lightweight patio gazebo. I desperately wanted to upgrade but the cost of building my own was crazy expensive. Then comes the Cordova! What a huge upgrade! Unit looks great even like I built it myself (well I did!). It was a lot of work to build but I’m very happy with the outcome. Be sure to give yourself time to build it. It does take time and extra help. Don’t rush and layout all of the parts. You’ll need extra help lifting the roof panels into place. They are not light. Plan ahead, take your time and it will be well worth the effort. They also gave one or two extra of every fastener. No missing parts! That all said, I did have a number of chipped or warped boards. Careful planning allowed me to cover or straighten most of them. Backyard Discovery did offer to send me extra stain (which was nice!) but haven’t seen it yet. Will be adding my own electrical and ceiling fan in the next week. Just in time to enjoy the summer!

After researching every available gazebo model on the market, we chose this one and couldn’t be happier with our decision. We live in the CA desert where wind gusts in our area can regularly reach up to 75 mph. This model said it could withstand 125 mph winds, which no other product claimed, so I selected this one for that very purpose. Prior to the gazebo’s arrival, we had a contractor pour cement and add steel brackets to the post locations. We opted to pay the additional money to have the gazebo built by the company and we’re so glad we did as it took three men, several hours to do it. They did a wonderful job and were very friendly. Once they finished, our contractor added steel bolts to the posts, securely attaching them to the brackets, thus ensuring they would withstand our crazy, erratic conditions. Our contractor also added string light bulbs and a ceiling fan/light. He then hooked up a waterline to the gazebo and installed a misting system. Finally, he hung interior mosquito netting curtain panels and outer heavy privacy curtains, both of which are tied at the four corners when not in use. We LOVE our new outdoor space! Our friends and family have also marveled at it. We love that the structure is built from beautiful wood beams, rather the aluminum like many of the models we see. We have a day bed couch, two chairs and a coffee table under it, and since it has extra electrical outlets, we regularly bring a lightweight TV outside to watch while snuggled up on the couch. This gazebo has allowed us to enjoy our backyard more fully now. And every time I gaze out to our backyard and see it, it makes me happy. My husband says that makes this the best purchase ever.

Love it!! Had to hire through another company because GoConfigure is NO good in Las Vegas. Had to replace one of the wood parts because it was warped. I was on a time schedule so couldn't wait for a replacement. But love our backyard oasis. Unable to add photo says too large.

A lot of pieces for sure. Packed very tight. Finding the right numbered piece took some time until you got into all the boxes. All pieces went together good. One man picking parts two men screwing together. If time allows find and separate pieces according to part you are working on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are enjoying the gazebo when weather permits. One problem: one of the columns has rough wood around knots that should not have made it past QA. It will require some careful work to make it presentable.
