My husband and 2 friends took a day to put together this pergola. It came out beautiful, and it's exactly what we wanted! We live on the water, and it's heavy materials shouldn't be a problem with strong winds. Love it and can't wait for summer cocktails poolside under it!

We love our gazebo. We added lights and a fan. My husband and I come out in the evenings just to sit and relax. It's like a staycation. We had a graduation party yesterday and got so many compliments on it. We plan to add a shade on one side for the sun for longer hours of enjoyment!

I bought this to add to my deck expansion. With the help of my sons. We got it assembled. Took longer than expected, but had limited time where my sons could come over & help. Instructions were very detailed. Only issue was a couple of the posts had holes drilled in wrong place for the corner brackets & had to drill new holes and it wasn't easy taking the plastic wrap off the metal parts. That's the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. We are loving the new gazebo.

We purchased this gazebo a few months ago and we are very happy with it. Everything was included that we needed to erect it. The lumber was pre-cut to the correct dimensions and the holes were all pre-drilled. Our sons helped us build it on a Saturday and we were finished by mid-afternoon. The only thing we didn't realize until after we purchased it was that we were strongly encouraged to apply a sealer to all the lumber before erecting it. While that required a little extra prep time, we're glad we did it. Other than that, everything was as we expected.

We purchased our Cordova Gazebo almost a year ago and it truly has sustained our Colorado winds, our most recent winter heavy snow. Even our most recent heavy rains without any problems at all. It was absolutely one of our better purchases and wish we had purchased it sooner. My husband Rick, our son and our neighbor all helped with putting the roof on as it did need 3 people. The lower part of 4 posts and sides my husband pretty much did it himself with an extra ladder. He’s very creative! So the roof was the part that did require the assistance of a few more hands. We enjoy using our new outdoor space for many outside events in our yard day or night. It looks beautiful. We did hang lights for sitting outside in our cool Colorado evenings. My husband and I enjoy just sitting under it in the morning drinking our coffee. My sister and her husband were so impressed with our Gazebo that they are ordering one for themselves. So we would highly recommend this purchase to anyone considering purchasing or having one built. It is a great price, quality is 5 star.

We purchased in the fall and it has held up very well in the harsh winter months and withstood 60mph winds like a champ in strong storms this spring. We get a lot of wind where we live and I am very pleased in how well it has held up. It's ready for our fireplace install and new furniture this spring.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I looked at a few cheaper options, but I am so happy to have spent a bit more and got a quality gazebo. The thing is a tank. I was impressed that all the pieces were marked and the directions were easy to follow. I would buy other products form Backyard Discovery.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this gazebo about 5-6 months ago. I put it together myself with help from family. Be patient with the installation. Take your time and follow the directions exactly and things will work out well. The gazebo looks great and is sturdy. I've had it up now several months and it is hasn't moved at all and I live in a very windy area. This gazebo really solved a problem for us - we couldn't use our back patio in the summer because of the direct sunshine. Now we can use the patio year round.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this at the beginning of the season and it was pretty easy to put together. Follow the instructions, get a friend to lift the two larger roof panels in place and don’t forget you have the included clamps which are an absolute LIFE SAVER. Overall this is a very heavy and very sturdy gazebo…

Our Barrington 16x12 gazebo went up two weeks ago and WOW! We love sitting under our gazebo and chatting with friends and neighbors. It's the natural go to place now and everyone loves it. It looks great and is the best yard addition we've made in years!
