[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…

[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.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this at the beginning of the summer to put beside our pool. Best decision! Instructions we very clear on how to assemble. My husband and I assembled it over the course of a few days. We enjoyed it all summer and have enjoyed the shade. We also liked it electric box that comes with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this over the summer, took us a while to put it together since there was a lot of pieces and we would work on it after work. But after we finally got it all together, it was perfect ! We get so many compliments on it !

Bought this from Sam’s Club a few months ago to put on our back patio. The size is perfect. The quality of the wood and the engineering is outstanding. It’s not a simple assembly, but if you’re familiar with hand tools and have a friend or 2, it can be done in a day or two.

We bought our 16 x12 gazebo last spring. The installer showed up promptly and had the job done including clean up by 6pm the same day. We have had quite a few gatherings and everyone has been amazed with the look, quality and price of this product. And I love the fact that no Wisconsin weather can ever blow this to the ground like the last two home improvement store gazebos we purchased. We've recommended it to friends and two have purchased them so far! Thank you also for the military discount and all the years of enjoyment we will have. Thanks BD!

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.

We bought the 14x10 Cordova gazebo. From purchase, to delivery, to resolution of a broken piece in shipment…customer service was excellent. In fact, it reminds me of the “good ole days”, when you were actually able to speak with a live person by phone who cared, resolve the issue or provided info and after the call, made sure that what was promised actually happened. The shipment comprised of 6 boxes, all well packed and contents marked. The delivery team (three guys and a truck) went out of their way to accommodate delivery up a steep driveway to the house. Now, we decided to tackle this project ourselves. For two folks in the mid 60’s, we took our time and followed both the instructions in the manual, but mostly relied on the online video, which was excellent. The only challenges were…placement of the four roof panel onto the structure. Even with 3 men, it was a challenge. No way, two people could have done it. The second challenge was that while most all of the pre-drilled holes lined up, the sawdust residue inside the holes prevented a clean installation of the structure hardware. We ran a drill bit thru the holes as we went. After installation of the power port, we decided to go ahead and install a ceiling fan. Are we happy? You bet we are! From start to finish, this is a first class company to do business with. If you don’t have the time to go thru the process step by step, or don’t care to read and follow the instructions (which will take you longer to complete), then purchase the professional installation package. But, if you are like us and have lots of free uninterrupted time, this is a fun project to tackle together. Please look at our photos!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my dream Oasis. I wanted a place to heal and meditate. Everyone who has seen this design loves. We had concrete poured in the front yard. The contractors wished they had one. I would recommend the gazebo and Backyard Discovery.
