Just what we needed.

I bought this a couple months ago and it took about 2 days to build and 3 people at times and wasn't too difficult. Love the power feature so we can add lights around it soon. It completes the back yard perfectly and provides shade at a reasonable price since patio covers are so high. Materials seem nice and sturdy and look quality.

Very Sturdy and Beautiful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought and assembled this Gazebo in the middle of summer. I did the vast majority of the assembly by myself. I just need help lifting the four roof sections to the top of gazebo. My Dad and My son also helped me remove all the blue plastic that was protecting all the roof sheet metal parts. That would have taken me an extra day if I had to do that on my own. It is very sturdy. We also added an indoor-outdoor fan to the top of the gazebo. We also added lights and mounted a TV with an outdoor cover. The only think I can say negative about this gazebo, is that it really needs gutters. If we have rain and it is windy too, everything under the gazebo still gets soaked.

Very cheap material and a nightmare to assemble

Save yourself a lot of time and money and build your own. This is all cheap 1" wood. You have to spend an hour finding 5 different numbered boards, numerous numbered nuts and bolts, to bolt them all together to make what should be just a 2x6x14 to save them on shipping costs. Wood scratches and mars easily when assembling making it look terrible before it's even up. Sheet metal is cheap and thin and arrived dented. Nothing lines up like it's supposed to cheap 1" wood warped and bowed immediately after short, which took an hour to sort into numerical pikes of wood and hardware. I am amazed at all the 5 star reviews, they must be fake. I'm a contractor and could have bought nice redwood and sheet metal and been done eith my own in a two days. 6x6s are fake and hollow inside, pre drilled holes don't line up, metal sheets don't line up. This was a mistake.

Cordova Gazebo Exceeds Expectations!

I bought this a surprise for my wife a few months ago. She was looking at gazebos in stores and always wanted one. I saw this gazebo and never saw anything like it before! The size, sturdiness, and with outlet! So i purchased it along with professional builder plan to have it built for her as well. She was so surprised when she came home and it was already built (only took two installers a few hours). She couldn't believe how beautiful it looked, she told me that she has never seen anything like this in stores. Let me give you the most honest feedback…This gazebo exceeded all mine as well as her expectations! We have hosted a few family gathering and got do many compliments on it. I even referred a couple of family members to the website to purchase one because they loved it so much.

Absolute Paradise

Our new gazebo has turned out to be the perfect gathering spot for coffee in the morning, pizza or barbecue on the weekends, or just for hanging out and enjoying our garden. Adding a few amenities to the already perfect and beautiful gazebo has made it even more enjoyable. We added shades to block the sunlight, string lights to light up the evenings, a speaker to listen to music, a hammock to nap, a fan with a light, a thermometer, and a bottle opener. Our desert oasis sits on top of decorative patio pavers. It was a great purchase and a wonderful addition to our back yard.

Great addition to our poolside patio

We bought this gazebo to provide some much-needed shade for poolside seating. Our patio is in full sun all day and we decided on the 16x12 Barrington to give us the largest seating area that fit the space. We have a huge patio set underneath it where it feels 10 degrees cooler on the hottest days. I built this myself, and only required help at 2 points in the build. I needed help at the beginning to get the posts stood up and then again at the end to get the roof structure hoisted and installed. Setting up the post sections were pretty simple and 2 helpers made that an easy task. Setting up the roof panels was definitely more complicated, the smaller 12' sections weren't too bad with 2 helpers and a few clamps. The 16' roof sections were a bear, 3 helpers (4 ladders) were needed - one at each post, one in the center of the posts and me up at the peak. Also needed 4 clamps once in position and then having the right hardware and tools ready was necessary. I personally wouldn't try it with less than 4 people due to the safety risk. Everything else about the installation went exactly according to the manual. Everything was cut, pre-drilled and lined up without any issues. Everything squared up pretty easily and the hardware was pretty high quality, and you get extra of everything because inevitably you will lose or strip some of the hardware. Installing the posts anchor bolts into my patio were probably the hardest part. I used a hammer drill with a carbide bit and still some of the anchor bolts snapped. I went out and bought some blue tapcons and painted them black after installing. All in all, for the price this is probably the nicest Gazebo on the market. The snow and wind ratings are what sold me and I'm happy in the decision. I would have liked the choice of a darker stain on the wood, but when it comes to re-stain I will go darker. Otherwise we love it. I had to contact customer support for a question on a Sunday, and they were available on chat and quickly helped me resolve it. Someone even ran out to check one they had pre-built on site to confirm a measurement question. Really appreciate that!!

Perfect Addition to my Patio

We needed shade on our patio and had a hard time finding something because our space was so large. So we decided to purchase (2) of the Cordova 14 X 10 Gazebos which fit perfect on one side of our space. Now we have a perfect shaded space and a sun space to enjoy the summer months.

Love this gazebo!

We're so happy we purchased this particular cedar gazebo. It is beautiful and sturdy. We chose this one for its durability and the ability of the steel roof to handle snow accumulation. Our GoConfigure two-man crew completed assembly in just four hours!! They were very knowledgeable and professional. This gazebo is a backyard statement- very inviting and the cedar smells wonderful. We are totally satisfied with our purchase. It's our new three season hang-out space!

Great purchase from day one

We got delivery in October and enjoyed it from the first day it was completed. My son, son-in-law, and a friend put it together. The parts are well marked making the build much easier than expected. Cedar is good quality making the Back Yard Discovery Gazebo a beautiful addition to our property. The only drawback is winter! 🥶 Can't wait until spring so we can get back to enjoying our Back Yard Discovery Gazebo!

It's TOTALLY worth it in the end...

Let's be honest during this review. You will go to YouTube for advice, you will probably reach out to the vendor where the product was purchased, BUT this will be an EXTREMELY HONEST but brief review (from my personal experience). 1. Pleaseeeeeeee, have at LEAST (3) people to help if you opt to DIY. As an FYI, my husband only had myself (and the use of (3+) ladders) 2. Take your time, and don't skip steps. 3. Once completed... take the time to ENJOY your new space! We celebrated immediately with wine and cocktails. :) 4. This gazebo is BEAUTIFUL! It has changed the whole dynamic of your backyard. Even our neighbor (from across the street) had to tell us how nice it is! We are VERY HAPPY with this gazebo!
