Love these CAD based tutorials. Only critique - none of the part numbers on roof sheet metal pieces matched those listed in these directions. I was able to use judgement and process of elimination to figure it out however this did cause a bit of stress and confusion which translated to additional unnecessary build time.

After researching every available gazebo model on the market, we chose this one and couldn’t be happier with our decision. We live in the CA desert where wind gusts in our area can regularly reach up to 75 mph. This model said it could withstand 125 mph winds, which no other product claimed, so I selected this one for that very purpose. Prior to the gazebo’s arrival, we had a contractor pour cement and add steel brackets to the post locations. We opted to pay the additional money to have the gazebo built by the company and we’re so glad we did as it took three men, several hours to do it. They did a wonderful job and were very friendly. Once they finished, our contractor added steel bolts to the posts, securely attaching them to the brackets, thus ensuring they would withstand our crazy, erratic conditions. Our contractor also added string light bulbs and a ceiling fan/light. He then hooked up a waterline to the gazebo and installed a misting system. Finally, he hung interior mosquito netting curtain panels and outer heavy privacy curtains, both of which are tied at the four corners when not in use. We LOVE our new outdoor space! Our friends and family have also marveled at it. We love that the structure is built from beautiful wood beams, rather the aluminum like many of the models we see. We have a day bed couch, two chairs and a coffee table under it, and since it has extra electrical outlets, we regularly bring a lightweight TV outside to watch while snuggled up on the couch. This gazebo has allowed us to enjoy our backyard more fully now. And every time I gaze out to our backyard and see it, it makes me happy. My husband says that makes this the best purchase ever.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought it and had it installed. After watching the guys put it up, that was money well spent. We love the extra room it provides with cover, and the dogs and our cat who believes he is a dog spends many hours there.

We purchased the product in March, however it took forever for the professional assembly team to get us on their schedule. The wood seemed to be a little worn in some areas. Not sure of the build quality 100% The product itself looks great. I’m looking forward to many evenings under it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the BIG 10X14 Backyard Discovery Cordova Gazebo and it’s absolutely stunning! Holds our ceiling fan underneath as well and the party lights rock too! Thank you guys for everything even the extra planks for better drilling support and for such fast delivery! We had it professionally installed and it’s like having a room outdoors!

Great kit. All items were unpacked, sorted, and stacked for ease of finding/using when called for in the directions. The best part was the individual bags of screws, bolts, nuts, etc. that were easy to find once sorted and placed on a table for ease in finding when needed. The hardest part was pouring the concrete footers to ensure a solid anchoring of the assembly. Assembling the frame was simple and made it easy to pre-place at the footer locations to ensure everything was in its proper place. Once placed and temporarily anchored, the assembly of the roof panels was simple. You will most definitely need a minimum of two people to place the panels, but three would be better. Finishing up was easy and only required tightening all the remaining bolts and completing anchoring the assembly permanently.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We installed our gazebo with the help of 8 family members. We took our time but got done in about 4 days. Installation took a lot longer than we expected. Instructions were so so and we did use the app BILT with step by step walk through which helped us in some situations. Installing the roof panels was definitely the hardest and definitely needed some extra helpers at that time. We are definitely very happy with the Gazebo and have spent many hours enjoying family time under it and look forward to many years to come.

It is nice looking and sturdy. The color of the wood is slightly lighter than pictured. There’s also a ton of imperfections on the wood and for how much I spent, it is a bit bothersome. Overall, it’s a high quality product. I really liked the option to pay extra for installation. The guys did a good job setting it up overall, though it did prevent us from noticing the imperfections prior to setting it up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Read some reviews did 95% on my own, thought the tin was cut wrong, thought of cutting it, laid out with some help holding in place,was cut perfect just had to move tin down a little bit lower than spec.really just three of us installed the roof panels. Took probably 2 days in all. But worth it.

This installment was easy. Took some time due to weather constraints, but we were able to accomplish the gazebo with no issue. Mind you, it does take some arm work for other tasks when accomplishing the big post and framing structure part of it. As for the roofing, that also took someone with longer arms than normal, if that person is available. I’m 5’7” so anyone can do this!!!
