We built our gazabo in July 2022 and love it. I used the video tutorial along with the written instructions. The two varied a little, but we had no mistakes in construction. The project took about 5 partial days, (the days were very warm so we didn't over extend ourselves) for 2-4 "seniors", including my wife. We appreciate the extra hardware included and the well marked wood and hardware bags. We love our gazebo and used it frequently for evenings and small group gatherings before the winter weather set in. We installed multi-colored lights around the edges to enhance evening sitting. We purchased a set of furniture and fire pit to make it more comfortable.

I bought this to add to our concrete patio by our pool, have had so many compliments after hosting 2 party’s so far. The shade is perfect for most of the day, until the sun moves down further. I bought a sun shade and installed that to the side for additional shade towards the end of the day. Gazebo can be installed in 1 day if you have at least 5-6 helping and a couple of people that know what they are doing. Organizing wood pieces and hardware is a must for smooth installation if doing yourself. Overall very solid wood structure, a few wood pieces were delivered warped with a small bend but they still installed and worked fine. Would recommend and consider buying another one in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this item about 8 months ago. I was a little hesitant in assembly it, but once I got started, it was fairly easy. The roofing was a little tricky, but overall, it was very user friendly.

I spent countless hours researching gazebos. I searched all over for a very high quality gazebo that would last a long time and that looked great on the new patio I just installed. I stumbled on this gazebo on display at a store by me and I was really impressed with how well the structure was made. Even though it is a dark walnut stain, it had an ever-so-slight hue of red color on a couple of the posts while my wife and I were looking at it in the store. Also, we were looking for something that had a black roof as opposed to a dark brown. So my wife and I decided to keep looking for another option. We looked at other brands which was aesthetically exactly what we were looking for (natural light wood tone with black roof). However, the quality was no where near this. From the max snow load to the wind certification of 100mph, and the impressive quality of the steel roof and cedar, there really was no competition. As you can see from the pictures, there is no red hue at all and it really looks awesome against the gray paving stones I have. CONS: There was a couple nicks and scratches, as well as some waviness in the roof. Also, it comes with screws to bolt into the ground, which is an optional step. The screws to anchor it to the ground were not as high quality as the rest of the structure, so I bought concrete screw anchors (1/4” DIA. x1-3/4” L). They worked out great. Lastly, I love the electric hookup, but the cord was a little short for where we needed it to go by a foot or two. It would be great if the cord length could be adjusted. There are workarounds for this like placing the electric panel lower, so it’s not the end of the world. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase!

We purchased the Barrington 14x12, Arcadia 12x9.5 and Saxony XL. Arcadia as our main gazebo, Saxony for our kitchen, and Arcadia for our bar. I purchased some more cedar for the 4500K LEDs for each gazebo to match our deck theme; I connected them my deck's dusk till dawn lighting system. Everything looks great. Any parts that were missing or damaged they replaced very quickly. Very impressed with the construction and customer support. FYI, they made it through 3 strong TN storms with straight line winds from 60 - 95 mph.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my gazebo for its durability and great looks. As soon as it went up people have been stopping by to get a better look. I have it lakeside with a fire pit near by. It’s been a grat place for neighborhood gatherings.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our second gazebo purchase because we bought one for our previous home and it was so perfect that we added one to our new home. The kits are easy to assemble and are very durable which makes them an affordable option for backyard shade and protection for patio furniture. With the gazebo, we are able to spend so much more time outside!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First. there are many boxes of parts to organize. Secondly, there are many parts to assemble. Third, the film on all of the metal roofing must be removed. Plan on this project taking at least 3 days.

This gazebo was just what we needed to fully wnjoy our back patio!! We built it ourselves and you defeinlty need three people at minimum for putting the roof pieces up. However all the direction on the paper and the Bilt app, were clear and easy to follow! Highly recommed!
