I bought this for afternoon shade on my deck and it’s been perfect. Don’t be intimidated by the unboxing. Take your time and the instructions are very clear and everything is labeled clearly. When you’re frustrated just walk away, I promise it will fit together. It’s solid and looks great.

[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.

Let me start off by saying the Gazebo looks amazing and is very sturdy. I used both paper and the app directions while putting this together and I thought they were very clear and easy to follow. A big lesson learned was to set every little baggie of screws, bolts and washers in a way that makes them easy to find. Do the same with the boards. That is the most time consuming part. Finding which board, screws and washers go together can be super difficult if you aren’t organized. Now for the bad: my set came warped. I haven’t seen wood this warped before. Having to ask for them to send me replacement boards cost me DAYS putting this together. Luckily they have great customer service. It was a major frustration of this project. Some of my roof panels didn’t seem to line up even though they were square. This was do to warped boards not aligning with the purlins. I’m happy with the end result… once i get my new ridge cap because i had a bent one…

Did a lot of research before purchasing this gazebo since the market has several to choose from. But my family and I decided on this one, and so far we are very pleased with our purchased. The instructions were very easy to follow, these gazebo took me and my son 3 days to build. But to stand it up it took 4 of us but for a few minutes. The only issue I had with the gazebo was some of the wood pieces were warped and didn’t line up correctly. That’s the reason for the 4 stars but it more like 4.5 starts. But I would definitely buy more products form Backyard.

[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…

This gazebo is built like a tank. Took about 12 hours to install, but definitely worth the effort. We now have a focal point in our backyard that everyone is asking about, and could not be more excited to use it all Summer! A bit bummed it is not pre-sealed but other than that no complaints.

We live in Indiana- strong winds sometimes. So we did our research and saw this Gazebo first time in Sams Club. We compared it with various Gazebos from other companies but every time it came out as a winner. Very solid build and of high quality. We recommend taking the professional installation service as well. Two people came to install this- it took them 5 hours. They also shared people with some handyman skills have started it and then have called them to complete it.

We have had trouble finding a nice gazebo to put on our deck. Where we live, we tend to have wind even when it is not a windy day. Last month, we had a wind storm with gusts up to 75 miles per hour. This gazebo is still standing. Not only is this gazebo very durable with weather, it is very beautiful to look at. We are very happy with our purchase. Putting the gazebo together could be a challenge for some. Basically you are building this yourself except everything is already cut and drilled to put together. Directions are very good and all the pieces had holes drilled correctly. It will take at least 3 people to install the roof. Expect to take more than one day to put this together. We have no complains with our purchase of this gazebo. I would recommend this for its beauty and durability.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Big project in backyard with pavers, firepit & bench, with this awesome looking Gazebo. The cedar wood is beautiful! Love it, almost finished with the project phase, then will add a bar next summer.
