This definitely is alot of work. it says it takes 3 people 10 hrs. I'd say 2 & both should have tools. it's not difficult to build. I did most of it myself (I'm a 45 yr old woman) with help from my son & his friend with the roof. the only negative I have is the clamp that it comes with is not strong enough & the one we received was broken. overall I love the gazebo & have been enjoying it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this Gazebo for our very small backyard and it instantly become a focal point. Since placing in our backyard, we have spent so many days and evenings enjoying its shade and cover. We now enjoy rainy days!

Last weekend I lost my beautiful Backyard Discovery to a falling tree. I only had it 2 years and I am heartbroken. Couldn't believe this gazebo took the brunt force of a large tree yet it remained standing and prevented any major damage to my deck. And more importantly no one was injured. I will be replacing it with the same gazebo. I would never buy anything besides Backyard Discovery.

Not going to lie-this thing is a beast to out together. The directions could be a tad clearer for the average person. There are very specific ways to attach things and if anything is backwards it’ll mess up the whole thing. We ended up having to drill a few additional holes to assemble the roof panels. It’s not perfect, but it’s sturdy and looks great! Take your time and have 2-3 people to help. :)

The gazebo is beyond our expectations. My husband easily put it together over a weekend and only needed a few friends to help when it came time to “raise the roof.” Between the printed instructions and the app called “Bilt” he didn’t have any trouble at all. It is a great space for our large family to relax in the shade or to listen to the rain on the metal roof. We love our gazebo. It’s well worth it.

overall the only gazebo I've seen that should handle Buffalo NY snow.\nThe Bilt app is a real help. part numbers stamped on board edges are nearly impossible to read. Removable stickers would be a big help.\n99 % of pre drilled holes line up. overall would recommend, but installed myself because the installation company (Go Configure) stiffed twice. \n built roof panels in garage and had 4 adults install roof sections.

We’re so happy we purchased this particular cedar gazebo. It is beautiful and sturdy. We chose this one for its durability and the ability of the steel roof to handle snow accumulation. Our GoConfigure two-man crew completed assembly in just four hours!! They were very knowledgeable and professional. This gazebo is a backyard statement- very inviting and the cedar smells wonderful. We are totally satisfied with our purchase. It’s our new three season hang-out space!

My family and I bought this piece for my mom for Mother's day. We assembled it this past Friday (May 5, 2023) after buying it Wednesday (May 3, 2023) everything seemed to be going fine with assembly, but one of the panels will not line up the way it should because 2 boards are warped. With that being said, there are 2 major gaps in the roof, and we don't know how to fix this. Really disappointing because of how much money, time and frustration was spent with just that one panel. Like I said everything else fits together fine, just the one 14' panel has bad boards. You can't expect perfect, but for that kind of money it's a little disappointing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are enjoying our gazebo very much! My husband and I were able to assemble it over the course of a weekend. We did need a third person to help with one part of the wood assembly and when we had to raise the roof pieces. The wood foundation was a pretty simple and easy install. The roof was a bit harder - directions could have been a little clearer. Overall construction is solid.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m very happy I purchased this gazebo. It’s very nice and it will be wonderful when warm weather returns. I would love to add photos once roof is on, but I’ve got to find some help to push it up there. We’re too short! 🤣
