68 year old couple with right tools and meticulous attention to the instructions completed construction of our 14X12 gazebo in 15 hours working time. Print and internet directions were both helpful. 900 lb project came in 6 boxes, so tip the delivery guys extra to place the boxes close to the construction site! We only had one significant boo boo that required retracing a step to correct (and a few mild swear words helped). I am amazed how square the gazebo was during construction; this is paramount in achieving a good result for all the components to fit together. Highly recommend two cordless drills/drivers, two ladders, and good neighbors to help the two times we needed to lift panels of the roof onto the frame. We never ran out of pieces/parts as most bags were overfilled with components, however this led to sometimes wondering if we missed a step. Overall, a good experience and great result. Although, peeling the protective plastic film from the trim pieces was a pain and took a full hour to achieve. We also spent an hour inventorying everything due to wife's accounting background (and found everything was present). I highly recommend this company and this particular project.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Placed our gazebo on our deck instead of attaching a pergola to our full log home. It provides protection from the elements and is just what we were looking for. It appears that it will require little maintenance and withstand the elements.

We love this gazebo! The construction is beautiful and provides a great little space for family conversations and relaxation. We have spent every spare moment under in our new patio area. No regrets here! I keep joking with my husband that we don’t need vacations anymore because the most relaxing vacation is in our own backyard!

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.

I love a good project and the Cordova Gazebo was just that. I took my time and enjoyed every minute. Every piece went together perfectly and nothing was missing. There was extra hardware on each type screw and bolt so I had no problems to work out at all. It looks great and we have enjoyed immensely it since day one.

This piece is beautiful. The style brings any start or addition to what you are trying to achieve with your backyard oasis. Very modern, the coloring of the beautiful wood really accents my home. Was easy to put together and my family thanks you for having something so beautiful and affordable for all to enjoy! Come on over!

I bought this to add to our concrete patio by our pool, have had so many compliments after hosting 2 party’s so far. The shade is perfect for most of the day, until the sun moves down further. I bought a sun shade and installed that to the side for additional shade towards the end of the day. Gazebo can be installed in 1 day if you have at least 5-6 helping and a couple of people that know what they are doing. Organizing wood pieces and hardware is a must for smooth installation if doing yourself. Overall very solid wood structure, a few wood pieces were delivered warped with a small bend but they still installed and worked fine. Would recommend and consider buying another one in the future.

After seeing what a great addition my sister had added to her home, it was a no brainer. I bought the exact Gazebo to add to my patio which was the 14-10 Cardova. Like my sister I plan to add a Hot Tub to complete this addition. I would highly recommend this or any ther product Backyard Discovery has available. The price, quality and setup are all 5 stars….

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.] Very happy with our pergola. So much better than an umbrella on our deck by the pool. The wind can get kind of gusty here. No more dealing with umbrellas and we have a nice place to get out of the sun.
