[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When we first decided to install a gazebo a few months ago, we did our research thoroughly and decided on the Cordova Gazebo for style, strength and stability. We were not disappointed! The overall experience and completed result was amazing. It has since provided comfort, relaxation and a place for our family to enjoy being outdoors. The installation was simple and we had no issues. We added lighting, fan, blinds and seamless gutters to match. Thank you Backyard Discovery for a wonderful product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We did our research for the best patio cover and hands down it was Backyard Discovery! From the professional, knowledgeable phone rep, to the ease of the fast and seamless delivery and finally to the beauty of the wood and details. It is built solid and makes our backyard so much more enjoyable for gatherings with friends and family!

Overall a very quality product. The assembly time in some of the reviews I read were very aggressive. Pros: Quality wood and hardware. The instructions were great, very detailed and offered many good guides throughout the assembly. Cons: I was missing three boards, all rafters. Two of the rafters were detailed with miter cuts and a rabbit. I am a retired carpenter so instead of waiting for who knows how long to get these, I fabricated these. I only had one other helper, also a retired carpenter. The panel assembly took the longest. I had two other friends help in raising and fastening the roof panels. I still gave it a 4 star because it looks great, is of high quality and the packaging was good. Expect to spend a couple of hours peeling off the protective wrap off the roof panels and drip edges.

I am very pleased with the beauty of this gazebo! The parts were labeled very well thank God because there were alot of bags and all parts were there too! The directions were a bit hard to follow and alot of pre-drilled holes didn't match up but my husband is in construction so that was no problem.

I purchased the Grill Gazebo XL as well as the 14’X10’ Cordova for our newly renovated back yard space. The Grill Gazebo XL, I put together by myself and just had a friend help me lift the roof section onto the frame. With the Cordova, I had 2 friends help and we had a pretty good system down by the end. Had it not started to rain it would’ve only taken us about 6 hours in total. Still, with the rain delay, it only took about 8 hours total time. We added a few accessories to each structure such as lights, a ceiling fan in the Cordova s well as a couple roll-up shades on the Cordova to help shield against the harsh sunlight when it’s low in the sky or a brisk wind. Between the included instructions and the app, assemble was pretty straightforward. Once you complete on section, it’s mostly all repetitive but don’t get carried away. Read the instructions and stick to them. All-in-all, I’m thoroughly impressed with the look and quality of both products. Time will tell how they hold up to the Midwest winter months but I don’t anticipate and issues.

We have been very happy with our gazebo. It's already made it through a low grade hurricane too. It is certainly a project to get it built but the instructions are clear. My husband and I did the initial structure ourselves over a couple weekends and then called our high school age nephew over to help us put on the roof. We worked over 3 weekends in May 2023 to get it completed and have enjoyed it daily ever since.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a complicated build. Be sure you have friends and/or family to help. Take the time to label all parts and it is helpful to put all hardware in separate containers that are clearly marked. You will need minimum of 3 and better to have 4 people to place the roof sections. Have quick clamps ready. There are several sub assemblies that can be done ahead of time to expedite the process (14’ beam and top frame assemblies).

Putting together this gazebo is a large project, it took several weekends to put it all together. 95% of the work can be done by two people, but getting the 14' roof panels up and secured needs 3-4 people. You need patience to put together all the pieces accurately. You will need a hammer drill to secure it to your concrete. At the very end putting the roof trim on using the self tapping screws do not work by themselves, you need to pre-drill holes in order for it to secure. Overall it turned out very nice.

My husband is quite handy so he decided to build a similar structure from scratch. When I saw this on display at our Sam's Club, I brought him back to take a look because I loved it and it was a larger size than we thought we could afford. He was impressed with the truss system and all around durability.... After some comparison analysis, we bought the Cordova for far less than it would have taken my him to build. Not to mention the time this kit saved us from having to find the lumber and hardware, and then having to cut, stain, and assemble! I got what I wanted in a quick and easy weekend project, and my husband was thrilled at this being real a time saver for him!! It is a perfect relaxing place along side our firepit!! We are getting so many compliments on this sturdy attractive gazebo!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I assembled this by myself, with the exception of lifting the finished roof panels up at the final stage. It was a few hours a day, for 4-5 days to get the job done, and the instructions were very clear. There was an appropriate amount of extra fasteners provided - if you drop a washer or two, it's ok - there are a few extra. The finished product looks great, and has been a great addition to our new back patio and fireplace.
