Love how this turned out! Built very well. Only difficult part putting it together was the roof which was expected. We have loved sitting underneath it in our backyard! My only complaint(suggestions?) would be to look into the design of the add-on mounted plug-in. Our first thing to plug in were programmable string lights and the plug doesn’t allow the cover to shut over the plug. We are now looking at alternative options to plug things in.

Was in need for shade on my patio. I ordered it on a Sunday and had it by Friday. I’m a 59 year old female. a friend of mine who’s older helped me pre assemble what we could (the beams and roof). We had never ever done a project of this size. We consider ourselves handy but a little bit of construction knowledge would have helped us. We made lots of calls to guys we knew and her husband helped a bit too. Instructions were easy to follow and at the end it all went together fine. If I did it again would take 1/2 the time. Definitely watch your critical measurements. Also take the time to make sure the trim pieces on the roof are secure prior to installing it. I did not put the trim on the beams where it attached to the roof. We have our periods of lots of moisture in Nebraska a thought it was a catch for moisture. Looks great though. It’s only been done for less than a week.

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.

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 structure seems very strong and was straight forward to assemble. The roof panels were the most challenging to lift into position. This required enough people and planning to do safely. One design change is needed. The metal band that goes around at the bottom of the roof should go UNDER the roof pieces instead of over them as instructed, because it catches leaves and debris. My leaves caused visible stains on the wood. After it was too late I saw blogs mention how the instructions should be revised.

I’m so thrilled with my new gazebo! So much better now that we have great shade to make the yard more comfortable! I paid someone to build it and he did a great job, and it did take some time to grade it properly, pour thr concrete and anchor everything!

First bit of advice is don’t print using dark ink on a clear plastic bag when the contents of the bag are the same color as the ink. Second, the manifests detailing what each box contains should all be accessible without having to open each box. This would allow people to strategically unpack things and organize them. I just started assembling today so I will update the review as I progress.

We bought this a month ago and assembled it ourselves. It was a large job but the instructions were very clear. If you are not familiar with tools and larger projects I would recommend paying to have it assembled. The finished product is beautiful and we love it. It is very sturdy and is perfect for our pool side area. We look forward to using it for years to come. I could not be more pleased with this product.

This Gazebo has been an absolutely beautiful addition to our backyard outdoor patio! I could not LOVE it more! It arrived in several boxes and was packaged very carefully! All hardware was labeled and easy to find! The assembly does take some time however, the app (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!) was tremendous! It was step by step instructions with CLEAR directions! This avoided any confusion with assembly! Again, the app is fabulous! The roof panels were in excellent shape and easily assembled however, you will need at least 3 strong men to lift and hold the panels in place in order to assemble the roof! It took about 2 days from start to finish (we completed assembly in a weekend). Once we finished the gazebo, my husband went the extra mile and used pavers to create a pillar around each post. We added solar lights and bought a round table with 6 chairs to complete the space. I absolutely LOVE this gazebo and how it turned out! The quality of all the pieces is superb! I highly recommend this product!!

My gazebo was assembled this week. I absolutely love it. It provides a great hardcover roof and is the perfect accent for my backyard. It covers the maple tree stump that has a cement table top, we refer to it as our wine table. We enjoy relaxing and sitting outside around the table and now under the gazebo.
