I'm really happy with the gazebo. I hired a friend to put it together. Kudos to any homeowners who can do the installation themselves for the gazebo. Probably pergolas are easier. It looks so nice. I look forward to going outside each day to spend time sitting in it.

We ordered this after deciding to add a 20x20 concrete pad out back to get us away from the house and have an outdoor room. It went together easy enough. Its not an exact science and it does help to have an additional person for the wood construction and yet another person to get the roof sections installed. Its gorgeous and we love being outside. We have started adding more concrete for an outdoor kitchen right next to it.

Excellent instruction. Only installing the trim, the video shows the wrong pieces for the 14 foot side. The 14 pieces should be on the 12 foot and the 12 should be on the 14. The right pieces are showned in the manual. This is something that should be addressed. Other than that,great instructions.

We purchased the 12x14 gazebo as well as the XL BBQ Gazebo. Both are made of same materials. They looks modern with the black hardware and the wood is a very nice stain. The wood is a little soft so it does show some scuffs and sings from the packaging and shipping, but it is not too bad. Love the power bars that come with both of these. We installed heaters and a fan on the larger gazebo.

This gazebo is beautiful. It has easy to follow instructions, all the birds and hardware are numbered and every piece was there. I’m very impressed with this company. My husband and I mostly did this project with the exception of people helping hold. And we’re still married!!!

Started a few months ago on building my a little oasis in my backyard. An extension of my house! Searched and researched so many Gazebos and finally decided on this brand. Could not be anymore happy with the look and quality. Took longer to put together so I would recommend using the installers. Well worth the money.

10x14 gazebo. Went up well with just me except for setting up post beams and roof panels where I needed help. Took me a couple weeks working 4 hrs a day. Parts of the instructions aren't clear and you've got to pay attention. I installed the facia trim UNDER the steel roof panels to act as a drip edge as I didn't want water running off the roof onto support beams. The power port could use a couple usb-C ports. Parts were all there but a couple wood parts had cracks and needed glue and screws. Overall, it's a good kit. I'd give it 4.5 stars.

I just finished building the gazebo. All the parts (wood & metal) arrived undamaged then inventoried. Everything was there. My 10' x 10' gazebo is sturdy and beautiful. The company ensured that all the material is top grade and built to last. I'm more than happy that I chose Backyard Discovery and their gazebo. No regrets. One suggestion - the four ridge caps slide up, so ensure that there are no obstructions (e.g., trees, buildings, etc.) that would block their initial installations.

Beautiful gazebo, sturdy, and will last forever! I love sitting under it in the rain with our gas firepit. My husband, son and I assembled it in 2 days. We are pros now and could assemble them much faster now that we know what we are doing. LOL Follow the directions to the tee as far as measurements when assembling the roof to make sure it is square. All the holes lined up, the pieces were marked. The one thing I would have liked is a touch up pen. Some of the wood was scratched and the really light color shows through under the roof- would be nice to cover those up. You need an impact drill for concrete slab and a tall ladder at minimum. We used a scaffold which was amazingly helpful for all aspects of assembly- instead of moving a ladder around all the time. The metal roof drains under the trim, though, which I thought was weird- to have it all go down metal, then under a metal piece that is placed over the wood edges. It seems like that might wear own the wood all around the roof.

Follow the instructions very carefully. Have all required tools and an organized assembly area. Have at least 3 adults for placing roofing sections in place. The gazebo is awesome. We have had it up for a week and spend every night enjoying our new peaceful place in our backyard. I highly recommend this product.
