The addition of this gazebo has created a nice outdoor living space on our deck. The deck was way too open and hot prior to adding this. It provides shade and keeps out outdoor furniture dry. It is also sturdy enough to hadle 2 feet of heavy wet snow in MA. I hang a hammock chair from the perimeter beams and added some outdoor curtains to manage the sunshine. My only complaint is that the perimeter roof trim installs over the roof panels which prevents snow from sliding off and directing water runoff onto the wood. This detail could be better. Assembly is time consuming, but the instructions are good and hardware is high quality.

I picked this product because of its high weight rating (we get snow), and its beautiful style, and it's good price compared to the competition. The best part I found out after the freight company damaged some of the product during delivery and I got to work with customer service. The rep I got was Mae Donovan and she was outstanding! Very friendly, very helpful and very fast. It only took 2 minutes for her to pull me up in her system and tell me she could exchange any parts no problem, no questions asked. It could not have been easier. She sent me an email so I could add part numbers and send it back. The new parts were immediately ordered for me and shipped quickly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Every piece was well marked and instructions easy to follow. My husband and I only needed extra hands to put on the roof panels. It looks great, and is so sturdy! I'm sure it will provide shade and wonderful memories for many years to come.

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.

Our new gazebo has turned out to be the perfect gathering spot for coffee in the morning, pizza or barbecue on the weekends, or just for hanging out and enjoying our garden. Adding a few amenities to the already perfect and beautiful gazebo has made it even more enjoyable. We added shades to block the sunlight, string lights to light up the evenings, a speaker to listen to music, a hammock to nap, a fan with a light, a thermometer, and a bottle opener. Our desert oasis sits on top of decorative patio pavers. It was a great purchase and a wonderful addition to our back yard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wonderful gazabo. Exceptional craftsmanship and instructions for assembly with the BILT app made this a no-brainer. We did have someone assemble for us; however, no issues were noted. We loved this product so much, we purchased another for our pool, and the large grill gazebo. Should the need arise, I will not hesitate to purchase this product again for other areas. Don't hesitate, buy it. In my opinion, you won't be sorry!

The Gazebo did take longer than stated, but that is to be expected with the amount of hardware that is needed to put this together. It was difficult to see the numbers on the boards with the darker stain, but by process of elimination, we were able to figure it out. The customer service has been fantastic and both agents I have spoken to about stain have been absolutely accommodating and wonderful. Thank you.

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.

BUY THIS NOW! we bought this gazebo about a month ago and wish we had years ago. In our subdivision there is little shade, this gazebo gives us the perfect back patio with coverage from the sun! Delivery, instructions, parts, wood quality, video step by step instructions were great, everything packaged and presented nicely! Another great feature is the electric outlet box, very helpful and convenient for hanging lights or phones/ music. We are very pleased and happy we purchased. **only one issue, I’m trying to find a sunshade/ misquote black net for this gazebo. I see other brands have their own made for their products but I’m having a hard time finding one that would work with this particular one. **

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.
