It was very easy to set up just take your time and follow the directions. Make sure you have at least two more people to help you get the roof up. With two more people it makes it a lot easier. Very very satisfied with this gazebo. Me and the wife have spent many hours in the summer sitting out underneath it would highly highly recommend this. Very sturdy very well made.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Birthday present to myself, wish I had got it sooner than September! So relaxing sitting under the metal roof when it rains. I am not going to miss taking down the fabric top from old one! Can't wait for it to snow and have a protected area.

After researching every available gazebo model on the market, we chose this one and couldn’t be happier with our decision. We live in the CA desert where wind gusts in our area can regularly reach up to 75 mph. This model said it could withstand 125 mph winds, which no other product claimed, so I selected this one for that very purpose. Prior to the gazebo’s arrival, we had a contractor pour cement and add steel brackets to the post locations. We opted to pay the additional money to have the gazebo built by the company and we’re so glad we did as it took three men, several hours to do it. They did a wonderful job and were very friendly. Once they finished, our contractor added steel bolts to the posts, securely attaching them to the brackets, thus ensuring they would withstand our crazy, erratic conditions. Our contractor also added string light bulbs and a ceiling fan/light. He then hooked up a waterline to the gazebo and installed a misting system. Finally, he hung interior mosquito netting curtain panels and outer heavy privacy curtains, both of which are tied at the four corners when not in use. We LOVE our new outdoor space! Our friends and family have also marveled at it. We love that the structure is built from beautiful wood beams, rather the aluminum like many of the models we see. We have a day bed couch, two chairs and a coffee table under it, and since it has extra electrical outlets, we regularly bring a lightweight TV outside to watch while snuggled up on the couch. This gazebo has allowed us to enjoy our backyard more fully now. And every time I gaze out to our backyard and see it, it makes me happy. My husband says that makes this the best purchase ever.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This took us 4months to complete by ourselves because we only had help on weekends from family it took 3-4 people to put together so if I had it to do again I'd pay to have it assembled by a contractor It still isn't finished because we need to put the trim on

After looking at this gazebo for a long time, we finally made the purchase and love it! It did take us longer than 2 days, but we were not in a hurry, took our time and made sure we had all pieces put together correctly. We highly recommend to read the printed directions and to watch the videos. Use the specifically coded boards and hardware that are listed in the directions and everything should work and come together. To install roof panels, definitely need a minimum of 3 strong men. We did have a couple of pieces that were damaged in shipment and had to be replaced, with one being a main column. We called customer service and they shipped both pieces in a very timely fashion (also we were within the 30 day warranty). It is well worth the time and money we invested. Now we’re ready to enjoy and share great times with friends and family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been wanting to have a gazebo for our backyard and I'm happy I did buy this Backyard Gazebo 10×14, it is perfect and sturdy! Assembly is fairly easy, it took us 2 days to put it up with the help of our friends! Now we can enjoy eating out more by the backyard with this beautiful gazebo!

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.

Bought this in the summer and couldn’t be happier with the result! It was so great to have this during the hottest months in Texas to cool off, as well as more recently during the rainy days to keep my patio area dry, especially with two little doggies who love it as well! We wrapped it in lights thanks to the plug it comes with, which made it easy to have the electrical access and the lights make my backyard so fun and homey!! Thank you Backyard Discovery!!

It took us a few days to put together and I am not handy at all. I was concerned about sturdiness but once it’s complete, it’s solid! I love the look of it. I would highly recommend this gazebo! All the parts were in the boxes, make sure you pre-drill the holes like it says in the instructions. Great product. Please make a mosquito net and sun screen for it Backyard!

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.
