My partner and I built this gazebo and get many compliments on it! We love this gazebo! The first two days my partner sat under it for 15 hours. The instructions were pretty straight forward and the app helped a ton! I don’t know what we hesitated two years before making this purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Read some reviews did 95% on my own, thought the tin was cut wrong, thought of cutting it, laid out with some help holding in place,was cut perfect just had to move tin down a little bit lower than spec.really just three of us installed the roof panels. Took probably 2 days in all. But worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been wanting to cover our patio f or some time. After manh years of research, we decided on the Cordova. Not only did it come in the size we needed, it can withstand snow, hail and wind up to 100mph!!!!! It also had the option for assembly, which is well worth it. Overall our Gazebo is more than we expected! We raved about it so much, that my Sister bought one too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was fairly easy to put together by myself. I needed help with the roof. This company thinks of everything, I love that there were extra screws as well. The cedar is nice touch and the ceiling is lofted a bit. I love it!

I've had this gazebo for about a month now and it is by far the most superior gazebo you can buy right now. The stain, wood quality, and metal materials are stunning. The heat rejection in the 90+F sun is great!!! This build is very strong and feels absolutely solid. Now the building process... first of all, delivery is super expensive but I understand why. It's VERY heavy. I didn't want to spend more so I opted to build it myself. With the help of my wife, and 4 other family members, we were able to finish it in 4 afternoons. It is a lot of work. The process is quite simple due to all the predrilled holes. But the sorting all the materials, drilling in hundreds of screws, lifting the roof up to the top... the instructions say 2 people are good but I think that's if you're a professional. Make sure you have people that are willing to dedicate time to help. BUT it is all so worth it. It's beautiful. Just make sure you get clear oil to seal the wood! I wish i had done it prior to building it (you need to do it to stay in warranty) but I realized afterwards.

I purchased this gazebo a few months ago. To protect us from the Florida Sun. Large enough to have a good group relax and get together. I purchased because of the high weather rating for Florida. Was very concerned that it would last during high winds. Looks great and family are enjoying time spent outdoors.

ALL components are well labeled and easily identifiable. Even the metal roof components are film covered to keep it protected until installation. I think removing the film is the actual hardest part, patience is needed, but you figure out tricks as you go along. Assembling sections on a painter's tarp will help minimize scratches and scuffs to wood finish. One main builder and an extra set of hands can complete the project, but a couple extra sets always helps speed things up. Great investment, because after anchoring it, it is SOLID!

So it took me about three weeks to do during the hot summer days that we had, I actually did about a weeks worth of work on it in between resting from the heat with over hundred degrees temperature several days in my area. Everything went together fairly well, I was a little worried about the measurements for the four roof panels, but once I got it up there and all bolted together, it turned out great. I recommend just following the instructions page by page and don't jump ahead and you should have no problem at all.

The assembly of the product has very little tolerance for error and field conditions. Roof panels do not overlap with wide seams. I have a concern for when it rains that water will drip through the seams. Further the fact that the entire process requires assistance of others to install is a downfall in my opinion. Assembly of the roof in four units that each require lifting is not a good idea. The units are very heavy and lifting is awkward and not safe for a 16ft section. The roof should be considered to be assembled in place. Hardware is a low grade steel and should be replaced/ upgraded in key areas such as where the roof sections combine. Overall the unit has a nice look but could benefit from another person or review assembly by a single person.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this Gazebo to cover my hot tub. The Gazebo looks great and I have received several compliments on it. The wife loves bot the look and the additional hot tub use with rain and cold (surrounded with curtains in cold weather). Instructions were fairly clear and it was more or less easy to put together with only a little bit of confusion or potential misalignment of pieces. The only assistance I required was lifting of the roof panels in place, with the 14' sections requiring 3 people. The only real problem I had was that a few cement anchors snapped while attaching to the concrete columns even with a impact driver....bought a new set from Lowes that were a little thicker to properly secure. I did have to slightly modify by cutting about a foot from 2 pillars as the area is on a slight hill. My neighbors that helped with the roof panels, were pretty impressed by the quality of the gazebo. They could see how sturdy the gazebo was, how the pieces were fit together close up, the weight of the roof, etc. basically the things you don't see from far off looking in someone else's back yard. I do not normally submit reviews, but there was a chance to win...so that is why incentivized review is marked, but everything I am saying is true, I am just lazy :) This is a great product and I am very happy to have purchased.
