[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought our Backyard Discovery Gazebo in June of 2023. So far it has been a great entertaining area for both friends and family! I think Backyard Discovery gazebos would make a fun addition to anybodies backyard. As someone who has bought one and have enjoyed it very much, I would suggest having a slab poured and plan out exactly where you may want to add a future dedicated electrical outlets or even possibly running water. We learned the hard way….lol I also suggest putting a nice good quality sealant on it soon after it’s built as well as think about adding gutters to it. For no other reason other than just to protecting your investment. Here are a couple pics for inspiration ideas…

I spent countless hours researching gazebos. I searched all over for a very high quality gazebo that would last a long time and that looked great on the new patio I just installed. I stumbled on this gazebo on display at a store by me and I was really impressed with how well the structure was made. Even though it is a dark walnut stain, it had an ever-so-slight hue of red color on a couple of the posts while my wife and I were looking at it in the store. Also, we were looking for something that had a black roof as opposed to a dark brown. So my wife and I decided to keep looking for another option. We looked at other brands which was aesthetically exactly what we were looking for (natural light wood tone with black roof). However, the quality was no where near this. From the max snow load to the wind certification of 100mph, and the impressive quality of the steel roof and cedar, there really was no competition. As you can see from the pictures, there is no red hue at all and it really looks awesome against the gray paving stones I have. CONS: There was a couple nicks and scratches, as well as some waviness in the roof. Also, it comes with screws to bolt into the ground, which is an optional step. The screws to anchor it to the ground were not as high quality as the rest of the structure, so I bought concrete screw anchors (1/4” DIA. x1-3/4” L). They worked out great. Lastly, I love the electric hookup, but the cord was a little short for where we needed it to go by a foot or two. It would be great if the cord length could be adjusted. There are workarounds for this like placing the electric panel lower, so it’s not the end of the world. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase!

I purchased this back in March and got it last Wednesday. I completed it today ,with everyone trying to go cheap on their product I was very impressed with the quality of the material. The instructions are very easy to follow I laid out the material as instructed and everything went smoothly.The only thing I needed help on was installing the roof pieces.I was only short 14 1/4 flat washers which is impressive considering the number of pieces with this product. I called and they are sending me some flat washers, I went to the hardware store and got some and painted them black I. Order to complete it today the person I spoke with was very knowledgeable and courteous.

We bought this a little over a month ago and couldn't be happier. Everything about this gazebo is above and beyond expectations. To begin with it is absolutely beautiful and looks amazing in our space. The quality is outstanding, It is made solid cedar and the craftsmanship is excellent. we had it installed on a16x18 slab with the angled roof it fits nicely under the soffits of the house. We also feel that this was a excellent value. This will add beauty to our backyard for many years to come

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Added a 16X30 deck in the back yard, and then topped it off with the 14x10 Gazebo. Took a weekend with a couple of friends to put together but very happy with this. Added an outdoor fan and light and makes for a great place to get out of the sun and relax. Would buy Backyard Discovery products again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this to cover a portion of our back patio and absolutely love it! I would say the directions are relatively easy to follow however multiple pieces of the roof were warped causing me to get the saw out to correct the overhang specifications. Roof assembly is without question a 4 person job - unless you are really trying to risk safety (I build all the time and am good with carpentry). Other than the building concerns the finished product is excelllent, looks excellent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We did our research for the best patio cover and hands down it was Backyard Discovery! From the professional, knowledgeable phone rep, to the ease of the fast and seamless delivery and finally to the beauty of the wood and details. It is built solid and makes our backyard so much more enjoyable for gatherings with friends and family!

Assembled this gazebo mostly by myself, with 3 helpers to lift the roof panels into place. The printed instructions are very well written and easy to follow. I had a few questions during the build and customer support was wonderful.All the parts fit together nicely and are high quality. Great product overall and everyone who sees it is quite impressed.

We bought the 14x10 Cordova gazebo. From purchase, to delivery, to resolution of a broken piece in shipment…customer service was excellent. In fact, it reminds me of the “good ole days”, when you were actually able to speak with a live person by phone who cared, resolve the issue or provided info and after the call, made sure that what was promised actually happened. The shipment comprised of 6 boxes, all well packed and contents marked. The delivery team (three guys and a truck) went out of their way to accommodate delivery up a steep driveway to the house. Now, we decided to tackle this project ourselves. For two folks in the mid 60’s, we took our time and followed both the instructions in the manual, but mostly relied on the online video, which was excellent. The only challenges were…placement of the four roof panel onto the structure. Even with 3 men, it was a challenge. No way, two people could have done it. The second challenge was that while most all of the pre-drilled holes lined up, the sawdust residue inside the holes prevented a clean installation of the structure hardware. We ran a drill bit thru the holes as we went. After installation of the power port, we decided to go ahead and install a ceiling fan. Are we happy? You bet we are! From start to finish, this is a first class company to do business with. If you don’t have the time to go thru the process step by step, or don’t care to read and follow the instructions (which will take you longer to complete), then purchase the professional installation package. But, if you are like us and have lots of free uninterrupted time, this is a fun project to tackle together. Please look at our photos!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Backyard Discovery Cordova Gazebo completely transformed our deck into a beautiful, comfortable and desirable outdoor oasis. Now our deck is covered and protected from the elements! This season, we have been able to utilize our deck every day. The gazebo has added an additional room to our home for the warmer months. We couldn’t be happier with our purchase.
