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.

We purchased our Cordova Gazebo almost a year ago and it truly has sustained our Colorado winds, our most recent winter heavy snow. Even our most recent heavy rains without any problems at all. It was absolutely one of our better purchases and wish we had purchased it sooner. My husband Rick, our son and our neighbor all helped with putting the roof on as it did need 3 people. The lower part of 4 posts and sides my husband pretty much did it himself with an extra ladder. He’s very creative! So the roof was the part that did require the assistance of a few more hands. We enjoy using our new outdoor space for many outside events in our yard day or night. It looks beautiful. We did hang lights for sitting outside in our cool Colorado evenings. My husband and I enjoy just sitting under it in the morning drinking our coffee. My sister and her husband were so impressed with our Gazebo that they are ordering one for themselves. So we would highly recommend this purchase to anyone considering purchasing or having one built. It is a great price, quality is 5 star.

So I will start with this review in regards to our first gazebo. The first one we put it together, it took about a day or so, definitely is do able with 2 people that have very little experience. I absolutely loved it we had the lights around the inside carpet down it definitely set the tone for a relaxing backyard. But, I skipped a step and own 100 percent of this. I failed to secure this monster gazebo into my stamped concrete patio and it was a costly mistake. With that being said, we loved it so much that I of course had to purchase another one. Same size, same location. The second one we put up I had paid for the company to install it. This was money WELL spent. This team of guys came in and blasted this thing up in about 5 hours. The one thing the installation company doesn’t do is secure it to the patio. (WHICH IMMEDIATELY DID). So this summer we look forward to enjoying this. I can’t stress it enough since I have purchased 2, well worth it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love our new gazebo and look forward to many wonderful family gatherings and cookouts. It is a very well made quality product that I would happily recommend to anyone looking to buy a gazebo.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this last spring and were very surprised at how it's built for a kit. Took about 8 hours for three of us to assemble. Would say it was easy, but I've had a lot of experience with building and remodeling. Is a very sturdy building. Stands up to thunderstorms and has a a foot of snow on it in the last month.

The instructions were easy to follow along with the bilt app 3D views. Considering the amount of parts and pieces of material nothing was missing. In most cases there were extra nuts, bolts and screws. I was really impressed with the simplicity of the installation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this for our backyard as we needed shade for parties we often host. We get compliments all of the time. It looks great and is well built. Took one person 12 hours to build which I think was quicker then expected.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After careful deliberation and having helped my neighbor erect an identical product over the course of a weekend, we were extremely impressed with the quality, speed, and customer service provided by this group. Well worth the fee!!!

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this unit just before July 4th and was able to put the unit up almost by myself. The instructions were easy to follow, all parts were properly labeled and pre drilled. If I had room I'd buy a second one
