This is a very solid gazebo. I love it! It did take an experienced person about 14 hours with a helper to put it together. Pieces were well marked but mixed in 6 different boxes so it took time to find needed parts. Extra hands were needed to lift the roof pieces into place so as not to scratch the pieces. Overall, I couldn't be more satisfied.

What a great gazebo! Very solid and well designed. Every pre drilled hole lined up and there are many many bolts and screws. Took me about 24 hours to assemble this in the garage and another 2 hours with help to install the roof panels. I down loaded the manual and read it many times before I received the gazebo which made the job much easier. Very pleased with this Gazebo!

Really love this gazebo! Absolutely beautiful. Assembly took much longer than the 10 hours. We organized all items in advance and set items out in numerical order to help make the process faster and easier. That process took 2 people 4 hours alone and I'm not including that in the 10 hours. The boards were not all labeled and very difficult to read. Many boards severely bowed and cracked, but the manufacturer says that is normal and not replaceable. That made final assembly of roof very difficult. Instructions were hard to follow at several points. The instructions on the video on the Bilt app were different than the paper instructors. It says assembly should take 2 people 10 hours. It took 4 adults with building experience twice that. You definitely need at least 3 people to lift the roof panels. Once it is all done, it is beautiful! Just be prepared...get enough help...and give yourself plenty of space, time, and patience.

Awesome Gazebo. Word to the wise. Sort all boards and parts first. You will find strong clamps are an immense help when assembling the roof panels. The time estimate might be possible If you do this for a living. It took four of us the best part of a Saturday plus part of Sunday to assemble. Make sure you have a good cordless drill and impact driver plus three 8 foot step ladders. The end result exceeds expectations.

Overall, very happy with the Gazebo. Definitely worth the little bit more than buying the small 10x10. Very skilled at assembly of items and this Gazebo took a lot! We had 3 people and took a solid 10 hours. Literally around 1000 pieces with screws, fasteners, brackets and actual item. Be prepared. Definantely want an impact drill to screw in large screws and for connecting brackets and sheet metal roof assembly. There were 3 metal pieces damaged in deliver...roof cap and metal roof side cladding. I will be reaching out to the company for new pieces. Delivery was not very impressive. Driver only had himself so I had to help lift off the truck.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] High quality product,excellent instructions,ease of assembly. All holes lined up with the use of Phillips screwdrivers for the roof sections then insertion of bolts were easier. The roof sections were raised and balanced on a 10 foot step ladder. The final position was done rope to raise the sections to the ridge line.

Bought this item to put up next to my camp. Seems very sturdy and looks fabulous. We get a lot of wind next to the water so we bought it for the wind rating. Directions were not so were good. The blue film on all the metal pieces was a nightmare to peel off. I think that's what took us the longest peeling off the blue film. Overall after many hours of construction I am very happy with my purchase. The price was right and all the pieces were cut to size already.

Well built. Only mistakes were ones I made. If you're having trouble fitting boards review the build because you probably have the wrong board in the wrong place. Looks great and definitely keeps the temp down. Plan on spending more time outdoors this summer. The sun gets really hot here in Texas. Very happy. Customer service was great

shipping went well they were able to unload the gazebo onto my trailer so I could take it to my cottage to put it up. For the most part the instructions for assembly were clear with a couple of minor exceptions. It did take two of us way more than the 12 hours stated in the directions (closer to 30 hours) but it went quicker as time went on. Overall a good experience to build and it looks great finished.

My husband and I bought this gazebo last month and are very happy with it. We put it by our pool with a bar under it. Now have a lighted ceiling fan in place. Our contractor and two other guys put it together, and they were very impressed by how strong it is.
