[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this prior to Memorial day, knowing it would be a great addition for our backyard and pool. I purchased professional installation as well. The only drawback to the installation was the gazebo set in my garage until late July waiting for the installers to arrive. I had an early June date originally and they cancelled on me. Once the gazebo was erected it was everything I though it would be. I added a ceiling fan, roller shade to one side and towel rack for pool towels. It provides nice shade for hot days and cover for my backyard grilling. Overall a great investment.

We purchased our Cordova 14X10 Gazeebo in July and had it installed on our pool deck on four foot deep concrete footers. One of the main reasons we went with Backyard Discovery was the ability for the structure to withstand heavy winds. I live in the Tampa area and we just went through Hurricane Milton last night. I had major concerns about the metal roof and when I woke up this morning, the entire structure was completely intact. Apart from the being a beautiful structure, it’s amazing to see that it withstood 90 mph gusts and sustained winds of 75 mph for several hours. If you want a well built and beautiful pavilion, I’d highly recommend Backyard Discovery. We couldn’t be more pleased.

Our daughter and grandson helped build it, along with a few extras to help lift the roof sections. It replaced a canvas topped gazebo that flapped constantly in the wind. We added lights for evening enjoyment, and are looking forward to a relaxing time this summer.

We purchased this through Sam's Club. The main reason we went with this brand is that it is rates for 100mph winds. The other brands were farliwe, often only in the 40mph range. We live in Florida so this is especially important. My husband built it largely by himself, got some help from a friend to lift certain sections. The one downside is that there are no accessories sold specifically for this model, such as a bar counter or screen kit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this over the summer, took us a while to put it together since there was a lot of pieces and we would work on it after work. But after we finally got it all together, it was perfect ! We get so many compliments on it !

We got ours about 5 months ago and our whole backyard is transformed.! We have an outdoor kitchen under the gazebo and have been using it non-stop! The cypress is so pretty and all of the little details make it worth every penny. We love this gazebo and highly recommend it!

I just finished assembling this gazebo last weekend. I agree with the other points people have said in these reviews. The 10hr assembly is definitely not realistic unless you have two people experienced with this particular gazebo. I'm 53yrs and it took me 22hrs.. Plus another 6hrs combined from another person who helped me the 1st day and 2 more for about an hour to get the roof panels in place. Biggest advice... Pick the bilt app Or the written directions (they are slightly different) and follow it carefully! Once the roof panels are in place and secured by the 1st bolts it's easy to get ahead of yourself seeing what comes next and not look closely at directions. I was missing one piece from one of the 10ft "A" frame pieces (which backyard discovery shipped me 2day express with no problem or hassle) So we put up the other 3 roof panels and secured them. When we finally put 4th and final roof panel in to place I ended up having to loosen almost all the bolts to the other panels and nudge over panels to get all the holes to align... The manuals clearly say do not tighten until they are all in place and bolts started. So again.. It's easy to get ahead of yourself, don't skip something thinking you can come back to it, it's in that order for a reason. Also.. Pay attention to when you have to drill pilot holes! The pieces come with probably 95% of the pilot holes already there for you, but then the instructions will say fasten such and such drilling a pilot hole.. And if you read over it quickly you can think the pilot hole is already there.. Happened to me and wood started to split so backed out thinking I was using wrong screw,... Looked at instructions more carefully, and was like oh... I was supposed to drill pilot hole. Other than that it was pretty straight forward, a couple of the wooden roof cross pieces were warped making holes kind of a pain to align but nothing too bad. I definitely recommend taking the 2-3 hrs before you start and unboxing everything and sorting it, put bags of screws /bolts and washers in numerical order so they're easy to find, and be careful tearing open the bags, don't destroy the markings on the bag identifying what part# they are.. Some washers you'll use a lot of.. Then come back to them hours later and need more of the same part #. Raising the roof panels instead of putting a person on ladder in the middle we had person stand on ground, they used a 2x4 about 6 feet long as a pole to help guide peak of roof panel in place under roof cap, just had to remind them don't put 2x4 against sheet metal roof... Keep it on one of the cross wood frame pieces, it worked well. Bolted all together and tightened down its a very strong structure. It should last a long time and withstand the changes in weather here in Wisconsin and occasional heavy snowfalls.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this on Sams club website took a few weeks to get delivered. Took us a week to put together working on it in the evenings after work. It takes at least 3 adults to put on the roof. Very happy with the end product.

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.

A lot of help, sometimes is hard to zoom in the actual part of the item that you need to take a look even closer, I found a mistake on one of the last steps, they missed called a piece of wood, I was able to find the right piece thanks to the paper instructions that came with the gazebo, but overall it would save you time thanks to the clear 3D instructions.
