This build went extremely easily. I did it by myself over 2 days. About 5 hours each day. I did go slightly out of order. After assembling the rafters, I secured the roof on the gazebo before installing the roof panels. This made it easier to lift the roof up. make sure you recheck for square before adding panels.

I purchased this so I have some protection from the weather in northern New York. I grill all year round snd thus will be great. I am adding a back wall for more wind/snow protection as well as lights for night grilling. Good addition to our 10x14 Cordova gazebo.

This product is great. The gazebo was very easy to assemble with 2 people, with the exception of 2 steps where we did need a third person to help. My husband describes it as putting together a giant lego set. We sealed all the wood prior to assembly which I would recommend. We love this gazebo. It was a great purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased our grill gazebo and it was installed in August 2023. Besides being a great addition to our patio, we just love looking out at it through our patio doors. It provides the perfect amount of shade and is the perfect size for us!

My partner and I built this grillzebo over a couple of weekends. The video directions and the booklet made the assembly process very clear given the complexity of the design. My husband originally wanted to build something from scratch, but I’m glad we went with this tried and true design. It is worth the added cost. The individual pieces are cut in such a way to make them not so heavy or unwieldy. The only difficult part was getting the roof on but my partner who is over 6 ft was able to do it with the help of 2 friends. There were a few boards that arrived with small cracks in them, but they didn’t compromise the integrity of the structure and is not that noticeable. I’m interested to see how soon the cedar starts to gray and needs to be stained, but hoping we can get away with doing that next season.

This 20x20 carport kit arrived in 11 boxes. When we opened them, there was hundreds of boards and several hundred bolts, nuts, screws, washers and brackets. This could all be intimidating! But, my wife (age 71) and I (age 75), sorted out the lumber and applied an outdoor stain to all of the pieces. We also sorted out the hardware. Luckily, my 75th birthday party coincided with the need to erect the nine vertical posts, so we had help. You really do need extra people for this step. After that, it was all on my wife and I. Took us about three days to finish, working short days because of the heat. A few things to note: Every drilled hole was exactly in the right place. However, on some occasions, boards had to be flopped to align the holes, otherwise you'd think the holes were drilled in the wrong spots. Try not to leave the untreated boards out in the blazing sun. They will twist. Be careful on opening the bags of hardware to keep all of the pieces in their bags, and to be able to read the numbers on the ripped-open bags. You cannot spend too much time squaring the roof. We must have measured it 20-25 times as we went along, before putting up the metal panels, as each time we worked on plumbing the posts and installing the rafters required a slight adjustment. As it was, we were 1/4 inch off, and that 1/4 inch did show up when we put on the metal panels. We installed this carport onto a concrete barn floor laid about 100 years ago. They made concrete tough in those days. Several of the screws we drilled into the concrete snapped off just as they were getting tight. (This also happened with concrete screws we bought at Home Depot, so not necessarily the result of low quality screws by the company.) While the instructions say not to get on the roof, unless you have long, long arms, you do have to either sit on the roof beams or lean way over to screw in the metal roofing panels. But I never felt any weakness from the structure when doing so. Oh, I was lucky and had a dental procedure this summer which has limited my eating. Consequently, I lost about 20 pounds. You need to be lean to fit through the holes between rafters in order screw in the panels from above. By following the instructions (and reading ahead a few pages) this project was very do-able for us. It turned out so beautiful that even our neighbor, who is a building contractor and perfectionist, has complimented us. It does the job of keeping our car and other vehicles dry and is a wonderful addition. We would recommend this carport.

Just bought this gazebo for our backyard - delivery was fast, the assembly looks reasonable, and the quality is AMAZING! I like the idea of the built-in PowerPort - it’s something I didn’t find on other gazebos - and I think it will definitely come in handy for our first grill date night! I can’t wait to use it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually bought this cover for a side porch and it is a great fit! This is my second Backyard Discovery purchase. I loved the quality of my 20x12 Norwood gazebo so much that I purchased this one while my other was being assembled. A neighbor saw both while passing and stopped to say how nice they looked. I've received quite a few compliments on both! And they really do cut out some of the summer heat, a definite plus! No regrets on this purchase! I have one more area to cover and it will definitely be one from Backyard Discovery.

I opted for this size gazebo because it is just small enough to not require a permit in our municipality. The quality of construction is outstanding and it very, very solid. We paid for the installation at the time of ordering. The guys were quick and efficient and did in 2-3 hours what would have likely taken me 2-3 days! The only thing to be aware of is that the packages where delivered to our driveway and where EXTREMELY heavy to move to a more secure location while we waited for our install appointment. Plan on having some very strong people around to move them!
