[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very well-designed gazebo with sturdy cedar wood pillars and an aluminum rooftop. Perfect for our salt-air environment. Although we had to hire a company to put it together because it was too complicated for the two of us, we would purchase it again,.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this item about 8 months ago. I was a little hesitant in assembly it, but once I got started, it was fairly easy. The roofing was a little tricky, but overall, it was very user friendly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and sons assembled this two weeks ago & it looks great. They mounted an outdoor ceiling fan and lights to make it even better. We had some very strong winds over the weekend and were happy to see it didn't even budge the gazebo. Very happy with it so far!

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.] I bought my gazebo for its durability and great looks. As soon as it went up people have been stopping by to get a better look. I have it lakeside with a fire pit near by. It's been a grat place for neighborhood gatherings.

We purchased this to Zibo because of the overall style in the electrical seizures and structural integrity. We are so happy with it it looks amazing and living in Arizona I'm confident now that I've added three coats of Watco finishing oil; it will continue to look amazing. I can't believe my neighbor spent over 7K for an aluminum structure, wrinkly it looks like a complicated gutter system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love the gazebo ! It has made our outdoor living space so enjoyable not to mention it looks great.. assembly was a little challenging but the quality is very good... would recommend it to anyone.. great investment!

My husband and 2 friends took a day to put together this pergola. It came out beautiful, and it's exactly what we wanted! We live on the water, and it's heavy materials shouldn't be a problem with strong winds. Love it and can't wait for summer cocktails poolside under it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are enjoying the gazebo when weather permits. One problem: one of the columns has rough wood around knots that should not have made it past QA. It will require some careful work to make it presentable.

I bought this to add to our concrete patio by our pool, have had so many compliments after hosting 2 party's so far. The shade is perfect for most of the day, until the sun moves down further. I bought a sun shade and installed that to the side for additional shade towards the end of the day. Gazebo can be installed in 1 day if you have at least 5-6 helping and a couple of people that know what they are doing. Organizing wood pieces and hardware is a must for smooth installation if doing yourself. Overall very solid wood structure, a few wood pieces were delivered warped with a small bend but they still installed and worked fine. Would recommend and consider buying another one in the future.
