[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this last spring and were very surprised at how it's built for a kit. Took about 8 hours for three of us to assemble. Would say it was easy, but I've had a lot of experience with building and remodeling. Is a very sturdy building. Stands up to thunderstorms and has a a foot of snow on it in the last month.

I bought the Cordova 14x10 about a month back. My skills are electronic...I'm a handyman, but not a skilled carpenter. What was really apparent was this is a USA MADE product and the documentation was, too. It was hands down the best assembly document I've ever seen for any product. Bought it direct from Backyard Discovery...price better than other kits out there and it was perfect for my 14x12 patio (with 2' roof overhang). Some things that stood in my way of completion...1 - a lot of rainy days before I could start...2 - given the time lapse, discovered just a few slightly warped rafter boards along the way...totally useable...missing one upper post bolt and one pair of roof panel brackets for the 14' sections. Now, here's where I'll give HUGE kudos to their support. The first call was for the upper bolt missing. Not a deal breaker for time. I called and I got it two days later. However, closing in on roof panel completion...I needed the missing roof brackets and there was a threat of heavy rain in two days. The standard response would get it to me in 2-3 days. I replied that it would set me back a week due to rain...even willing to pay extra for overnight. Well...the person emailed the warehouse/manufacturing location...I had one in my hands the next day...no extra charge! THAT was service! The impressive part? Everything lined up well (I did need to drill a few offset pilot holes ion the perluns due to a few warped rafter boards...but all is just fine!). Now, at 63, I assembled all of it myself and some help with my sister-in-law (grabbing parts, holding a tape measure and moving roof panels). It took me longer than most due to high humidity an upper 80's to upper 90's heat & heavy humidity. (Not to mention rain delays.) I had a good friend and my son to help hoist the roof panels. You can raise panels with two, but I highly recommend three for the 14' sections. Here's a couple hints: Placing close to your home...keep in mind that you may not be able to push the metal roof lock-in trim from the bottom on the house-side. So...I did the two small 10' panel raises first...then, the 14' section closest to the house. Couple that with the fact that I did not install the roof hip until just before installing the last panel so it wouldn't chance getting battered moving panels into place -and- I installed the house-side metal roof panel joiner from the top-side down because the 'house got in the way being so close to it. After that, we installed the last panel...loosely bolted...then tightened in the order dictated by the manual. One more issue...tightening the roof panels. Well, this brought in the metal roof channels really close where the roof panels meet on the diagonals. So close that the metal joining strips would tend to pop out sliding them up. What to do? Well, they're already bent at an angle along the ridge going up...all I had to do was squeeze them tighter working my way up. It held really well. After completing it...we love it! (Just finished today.) Only question in my mind is the flashing at the bottom of the panels. Instructions say to install the metal panels flush to the bottom. Then, the flashing trim over the top and down. But, won't that be conducive to water rolling along the side of the roof panel lower frame? I'll be installing gutters on this, but that fact has me perplexed a bit. I'll figure it out...or, if someone has their own solution, please respond. Overall, I'll still give this a 5 based on how impressive the instructions were, accuracy of of hole & pilot locations and the beauty of it installed. Installing in the heat was taxing, but well worth the savings...even at my age! ;)

[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 !

Nice precut unit they have it figured out very well, if you build it yourself pay a lot of attention to the instruction as they are written. When they show you those high lighted instruction in red don't blow them off it will hurt you at the final step. Customer service was very helpful had a few pieces that had warps and they sent new ones right away. We bought a 12x20 and it has a lot of parts and big panels so have at least 3 to 4 people it sure makes it easy. We give it a 4 star because they have no 4.5 can't give it a 5 some of the instruction can be a little bit of a head scratcher and the film on the trim is super hard to get off so start early on working it off. All in all very happy with Gazebo it will surely be enjoyed by the family, material is good quality and packaging was very professional.

We purchased this in 2022 and I assembled it in the late summer. It has proven to be a focal point for the family as we can still sit outside in all conditions rain or shine. It would be a lot easier to put together with more than one person but it can be done. The Gazebo was well made just follow the instructions and use the bilt app for added clarity.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it this spring. Assembled by myself in approx 14-16hrs. Very good quality, great assembly instructions. This gazebo has very high wind resistance, up to 100mph. In my area we have high winds and this is was very important to me.

We love this gazebo - it is very sturdy/solid and provides great shade from the heat of New Orleans. The customer service and installation were very professional and exceeded our expectations. The built in electric panel lets you charge phones or power a radio or TV - I ran outdoor lights under the roof along with a small outdoor fan. I highly recommend - nice addition to our patio!

I bought the Gazebo online about a month ago, and had the professional team come to install the product. From day one the company kept me informed with the shipping status and the scheduling of the assembly. The day of assembly the company reached out to ensure I was satisfied with the installation and received excellent customer service from the caller and their assembly team. Happy customer and the Gazebo is awesome, I am ready to enjoy the summer!!!

This piece is beautiful. The style brings any start or addition to what you are trying to achieve with your backyard oasis. Very modern, the coloring of the beautiful wood really accents my home. Was easy to put together and my family thanks you for having something so beautiful and affordable for all to enjoy! Come on over!

We love our gazebo! We had the installer team build it and it was well worth it. They had it put together in two and a half hours. They did a great assembly job. We can now enjoy our patio and it seams bigger. Many of our neighbors have stopped by and complimented us on our backyard makeover.
