We were excited to install this gazebo and optimistic of the promised two man, 10 hours assembly time. That was a very unrealistic timeline to assemble. It took us all day Saturday, Sunday and every day after work for almost a week to complete which included running electricity for several outlets, lights and a ceiling fan. This included the help of two neighbors to lift the roof pieces into place. I recommend when you open the boxes, put all like lettered pieces together. It will make it easier to locate later. The same is true for grouping the bags of bolts and screws numerically. We are building a bar underneath and a wall around our pool equipment and grills but it's the perfect gazebo to provide shade this summer.

I bought the Gazebo Cardoba a few days ago and had it professionally installed just yesterday it looks great in my backyard it's on a concrete slab what I would really love to know is if I can get mosquito netting and if so where also my 2nd question is I saw where you said you need to put ceiling on the wood what type of ceiling do you recommend Thank you for your prompt response

Love our backyard discovery gazebo. Definitely big task to put together tho. I put it together by myself and took me 2 weekends to get it done (95F degree days, many breaks were required). I did have to get help from a neighbor to lift the roof panels into place. But otherwise we are very happy with it.

I had an aluminun and steel gazebo for 15 years. The roof leaked, the poles were splitting and it needed to be replaced. I purchased this with assembly and am very pleased. The unit is super sturdy, does not leak. It has withstood several windstorms with 40 to 70 MPH wind gusts. We had a heavy snowfall over the winter and it did not bend the roof panels and it still does not leak. The assembly was worth it and well built

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were so impressed with the Backyard Discovery pergola that we purchased last summer, we purchased the 14x 10 Cordova Gazebo last fall to compliment our new pool. The quality is just as nice s the pergola (even better with the thicker corner posts). The instructions we simple to follow and my husband and I assembled this together without any difficulties or confusion. The company kept us informed regarding the shipping logistics when we had questions about the delivery. The shipment arrived undamaged and complete. This gazebo is a game changer for our backyard and provides much needed relief from the Gulf Coast sun!

I had been searching for a gazebo to fit out poured patio and this one fit the bill. It was installed in October and I had wondered how it would handle an Iowa winter. Heavy snow, winds, sleet and everything in-between this structure held up. The gazebo is very well constructed and looks great. This is a low-maintenance solution to providing shade and definitely improves the aesthetics of the back of our house.

My family and I bought this piece for my mom for Mother's day. We assembled it this past Friday (May 5, 2023) after buying it Wednesday (May 3, 2023) everything seemed to be going fine with assembly, but one of the panels will not line up the way it should because 2 boards are warped. With that being said, there are 2 major gaps in the roof, and we don't know how to fix this. Really disappointing because of how much money, time and frustration was spent with just that one panel. Like I said everything else fits together fine, just the one 14' panel has bad boards. You can't expect perfect, but for that kind of money it's a little disappointing.

We live in Indiana- strong winds sometimes. So we did our research and saw this Gazebo first time in Sams Club. We compared it with various Gazebos from other companies but every time it came out as a winner. Very solid build and of high quality. We recommend taking the professional installation service as well. Two people came to install this- it took them 5 hours. They also shared people with some handyman skills have started it and then have called them to complete it.

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.

Went to Sams club saw this and new it would be perfect for our new pool we were installing. It was sold out when we went online to buy but as soon as it was available they sent me an email and we bought it immediately. Glad we did because the next day it was out of stock again. My husband and a I put the roof together in our garage. It took about 8 hours. He was able to do the base himself. Roof took 3 men and my 2 11 year olds to put on. It is very heavy. Great sturdiness once it is all up and we love it.
