[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!

This Gazebo is engineered well, packaged great and if you follow the written instructions you will not have a problem. Now with that said, please put the 10 hours of intermediate assembly time out of your head, it takes much more that that. I consider myself advanced when it comes to assembly of something like this and other than needing help to raise the roof panels and adding the side trim I built it myself and I am 64. The roof panel install took 1 1/2 hours with three people and you will need that many in my opinion. Follow all the tips and instructions in the manual. I really recommend spending the time to open every box and remove everything. Keep all the hardware in their bags so you can reference the part number. Organize the wood, hardware and other misc. parts. Regarding the kit I received, nothing was broken or missing. If you are following the instructions everything fits together as intended. If you are finding yourself wanting to rework something you are probably building it wrong. All bolt locations and pilot holes were where they should be. I built this Gazebo on a new paver patio. The 4 x 4's shown in the picture were squared and spanned using the drawing in the manual to support the Gazebo and are buried in concrete 30" down. I did not want to anchor the Gazebo to the pavers or pour separate slabs but instead wanted to use Lag Bolts through the Gazebo columns which I knew were hollow into the 4 x 4's. Again in my opinion this how I wanted to support lateral forces and wind load. When you first open all the boxes and see all the parts the project looks overwhelming. But in truth it's not and if you take your time you will be happy with the build. This is a very robust, well designed and manufactured product that in no way looks cheap sitting on your patio.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took 20 years of begging husband for a pergola. I found this one in early spring and we ordered it. Mind you, I’d been researching cost, style, and overall ease of assembly for a really long time. I found this one and we pulled the trigger! Perfect we think. We live were we get a lot of wind and snow and so far it’s held its own. So do all of our neighbors, friends and the delivery guys. Absolutely love it. It’s beautiful and looks like it will last a long time. Very highly recommend.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I bought this gazebo and put it together in stages. Great instructions and excellent quality. We do recommend looking up a YouTube video for tips before beginning. It takes time and patience but definitely worth it. Highly recommend. We’re so happy with it and love it.

Our recent purchase of this gazebo has made the perfect addition to our patio. It has brought us from inside to the great outdoors more than before we had it. Our friends and neighbors comment on how great it looks. It’s the best addition to our home. We added lights for evenings and WOW it makes the perfect place to sit outside at night with friends. We love it! My husband and I wished we did it sooner. Great addition to our home!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this as a cover over my Hot Tub. It’s very solid and well built. Used the service to have it built. Many parts and instructions are complex. I highly recommend professional assembly and installation.

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.

My husband and I are newly retired and decided that this Gazebo would be our first handyman project to begin our retirement with. The Gazebo instructions ALONG with the app worked very well. We were able to put the Gazebo together in about three days. We only needed help on the fourth day, when we installed the roof panels onto the Gazebo rafters. We were very impressed with how sturdy and strong the structure is. We had looked at other gazebo kits and most of them do not have wooden rafters. We think that this Gazebo Kit is top of the line and highly recommend the purchase of this kit, you will be thrilled!!!

We bought this gazebo a few months ago and had it assembled. We are very happy with it and have received a lot of compliments. It is sturdy and looks great. We stained it with a transparent stain and wiring for a ceiling fan and lights. We spend a lot of time on the patio now and love our new setup!
