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.

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.

Glad we read all the reviews and advice. It all came in handy! It took my husband and I longer than some but we took our time. We had every piece and extra. Hanging the roof was definitely a 3-4 person job because it was heavy. The only hiccup was putting it close against the house but we worked it out. It’s a quality gazebo and hopefully well built by us.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My review is on the 14x10 cordova gazebo.Showed up on time. Was delivered to my driveway, about 6 boxes. My wife and I carried them to the garage no problem. Everything went together easily. Would recommend the 3 people to assemble. Instructions were on the app. I used the book that came with it. Nothing was damaged. We broke up the install over 3 days. Did prep work in garage and carried pieces around back. We added lights and sun shades. We love it!

The instructions were very easy to follow, with the app it makes it very easy to see how everything is supposed to be. It was very convinient to have extras for every hardware piece that was included. I would recommend this product and the use of the BILT app to go along with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought and installed this a month ago, the install process is lengthy so I recommend packaging with an install. The only real issue is the kiln dried wood dried warped over time, so try and keep the product out of the sun If installing over multiple days. As with most kits, the most time consuming process is sorting parts. Overall I have gotten lots of compliments and would recommend this product.

My husband and I have been wanting a gazebo for so long. We finally purchased one and it has been the BEST addition to our home. We host a lot of parties and family get-togethers, the gazebo brings everyone excitment when they see how well built and beautiful this structure is in our backyard. My husband and I eat dinner almost every night under our gazebo while watching the sunset. This gazebo has brought nothing but happiness into our lives. Also, this gazebo protects my two Frenchies from the sun. I LOVE THIS GAZEBO! I definitely would love having another gazebo over our hottub one day!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this in the spring and had it put together in one weekend. Attached to our patio with the provided brackets. We made it our own by adding a ceiling fan and patio lights!!! It's almost like being on vacation in our own yard. Thanks

The addition of the 14 x10 Cordova Gazebo to our back deck has been an outstanding addition to our backyard. It has given us living space on our back deck that we never had. The purchase, installation, quality and overall experience with Backyard Discovery has been a pleasure. Recommend them highly.

I purchased this gazebo, then realized we needed something bigger. So,instead of sending it back, we order a 2nd one. We placed them side by side. They look great! We’re very pleased and receive lots of compliments on them. Wish we had done this years ago! I do recommend hiring someone to assemble it.
