We lost our first gazebo (soft-top) to the harsh winters in the northeast, and knew we needed something better. Luckily, this seems to fit the bill nicely. Snow load ratings are one of the best around in the "kit" category, and the price was extremely reasonable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought the gazebo at the beginning of summer and have enjoyed it everyday. Great place to sit and spend time with family even when it rains without getting wet! Very detailed assembly instructions that anyone can follow.

Absolutely beautiful! Several of our neighbors have complimented the gazebo. It has plenty of room for our hot tub and a seating area. We purchased installation from Sam's, it took about 6 weeks for them to come out, but they did a fantastic job and had it up in 1 day! We love sitting out there for coffee in the mornings and watching sunsets in the evening.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this gazebo in memory of my sister. She always sat in the shade, while I always seek the sun. This gazebo will give my family and friends a place to choose where they want to be, sun or shade, close to the lake.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cordova 14×12 gazebo has completely changed the look and appeal of our backyard. Yes, there were a few warped boards but they pretty much straightened out once we tightened down the brackets. It took all of three days to assemble, don't try it alone! I recommend using the instructional video vs the hardcopy version. I also recommend applying oil based sealant for an extra layer of protection. It's been up for just a couple of months so time will tell how it stands up to Texas extreme weather conditions, but looks great for now. Note - don't forget to go back and tighten the screws/bolts that the instructions say to hand tighten at first!

I needed replacement parts on 2 items. I spoke with Payton and she asked what I needed and where to send them. How great that is where I was not challenged on what happened. It is rare today to talk to da friendly and helpful customer service agent who I'm sure is reflecting the attitude of the entire company. I would highly recommend products from Backyard Discovery.

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.

Not going to lie-this thing is a beast to out together. The directions could be a tad clearer for the average person. There are very specific ways to attach things and if anything is backwards it’ll mess up the whole thing. We ended up having to drill a few additional holes to assemble the roof panels. It’s not perfect, but it’s sturdy and looks great! Take your time and have 2-3 people to help. :)

The gazebo is beyond our expectations. My husband easily put it together over a weekend and only needed a few friends to help when it came time to “raise the roof.” Between the printed instructions and the app called “Bilt” he didn’t have any trouble at all. It is a great space for our large family to relax in the shade or to listen to the rain on the metal roof. We love our gazebo. It’s well worth it.
