Very well planned out kit. Kudos to the designers and fabricators. One thing I would like to point out are the markings for the parts. It was a little difficult to read the numbers on the wood pieces. Dark ink on dark stained wood. Just had to match the image and measurements from the manual. Also some of the markings on the bags were a little hard to read as well. One thing that I am not really happy about is the edge trim for the roof. It is installed on top of the sheeting which means the runoff goes in behind the edging and can cause premature rot to the outer rafter boards. I suggest using a wood sealer on the rafters as well as foam closure strips under the roof sheeting BEFORE installing the edge trim. I look forward to this summer and setting up our outdoor theater while smoking a brisket!!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased a 16 x 12 gazebo; it was delivered in 6 well packed boxes; most holes were pre-drilled (accurately); hardware was first class and extra pieces were included for most items; everything was well marked; the instruction book was well designed and easy to follow; even came with an electrical panel; everything went together nicely and assembly was easy. I would recommend this item to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this gazebo in memory of my sister. She always sat in the shade, while I always seek the sun. This gazebo will give my family and friends a place to choose where they want to be, sun or shade, close to the lake.

I received this a week ago. Nearly have it complete. Directions pretty good. Pretty apprehensive about weather asm. parts would fit. Everything does, amazing with the amount of predrilled holes all being right on. Only issue was 2 roof rafters on 14" side had purlin holes off location, wasn't a big deal. Can't wait to start using.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this to finish out our newly remodeled backyard pool and patio reno. Absolutely 💯 recommend Backyard Discovery. The app for you to assemble yourself was amazing and not one bolt or screw didn't match up they all went as it was designed. My wife and I both over 60 did this ourselves and are very pleased with the build and quality of it. Fit as expected and we love it!

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought and assembled my gazebo 5 months ago and it was pretty simple to assemble. Everything could be put together by yourself if you want (I'd still recommend 2 folks) except for putting the roof panels up. Your gonna want to get one or two stronger folk to help you with that, but still wasn't to bad. Two members were damaged upon delivery but the company was pretty quick with sending replacements with no questions asked. Overall pleased with the gazebo, looks great, is quite sturdy (I live in a windy area and it doesn't budge), and the electrical power outlet attachment is definitely nice (especially for straining lights up).

Bought this gazebo July 2021. Assembly was… intense. You may want to pay for assembly unless you have a couple of strong people around. Love this so much. Still looks wonderful. Great size. We mounted a tv in one corner and even installed ceiling fans. We spend much more time outside because of it.

We just built two Backyard Discovery structures and we absolutely love them! The instructions were very clear for both, especially the emphasis on critical steps that would terribly difficult later on if missed. Some of the online reviewers, who praised your products and were quite detailed, recommended treating all of the pieces before assembly. We did so. Yes, it added some time to the project. But we want this to last for a very long time and consider that extra investment of our time to be worth it. I am not sure if you want to mention such an undertaking or not. Perhaps if you had been doing some studies and could offer some insight? In the meantime, we'll have to see how well Olympic Transparent Waterguard works over the years.
