Bought and built this last spring (2022) so it's now gone thru its first CO winter. This is tougher and even more stylish than I expected! Set up takes time and several people if done yourself, but instructions are clear; there's an app with 3d guides and vids which helped immensely, and every piece of hardware was clearly packaged and labeled. We get strong winds and this doesn't creak or move (and we don't have it attached to the concrete). The electrical box is icing on the cake, perfect for lighting etc. I would say if we did it over again, we probably would have paid for assembly as we'd not built anything of this magnitude prior so it took a string of weekends to build. BUT if you enjoy building things like this, and have the time, it will be worth it.

overall the only gazebo I've seen that should handle Buffalo NY snow.\nThe Bilt app is a real help. part numbers stamped on board edges are nearly impossible to read. Removable stickers would be a big help.\n99 % of pre drilled holes line up. overall would recommend, but installed myself because the installation company (Go Configure) stiffed twice. \n built roof panels in garage and had 4 adults install roof sections.

This is the best labeled well built product I've come across it took a little longer than instructions said but still not bad for someone with a little help pick a couple of good weather days lay it all out use the BILT app and you will have no problem. Don't worry it will tighten up and go together in the end just pay attention you have all pieces turned the right way when constructing

A lot of help, sometimes is hard to zoom in the actual part of the item that you need to take a look even closer, I found a mistake on one of the last steps, they missed called a piece of wood, I was able to find the right piece thanks to the paper instructions that came with the gazebo, but overall it would save you time thanks to the clear 3D instructions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought and assembled my gazebo 5 months ago and it was pretty simple to assemble. Everything could be put together by yourself if you want (I'd still recommend 2 folks) except for putting the roof panels up. Your gonna want to get one or two stronger folk to help you with that, but still wasn't to bad. Two members were damaged upon delivery but the company was pretty quick with sending replacements with no questions asked. Overall pleased with the gazebo, looks great, is quite sturdy (I live in a windy area and it doesn't budge), and the electrical power outlet attachment is definitely nice (especially for straining lights up).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a large project but with it went together with good preparation. There were very good instructions. I will add I do have good construction/ wood working skills. I was able to get help of one or two people as needed. We are proud of the results and many of my neighbors are also impressed. We would strongly recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I assembled the gazebo over a period of 3 days. Watching a video with organization recommendations was very helpful. As noted in the very thorough instructions, positioning the roof panels requires additional help. In the end, you have an extremely attractive and rugged structure. It's a bargain if you are comfortable with the assembly, or if you can contract the assembly for a reasonable price.

I purchased this Gazebo last summer and had them assemble it too. They contracted semi-local contractors to actually assemble it and they did a phenomenal job. The gazebo itself is very sturdy (held up perfectly to very strong winds and heavy snows this winter) and visually pleasant and inobtrusive. I did install a misting system to the outside perimeter which works wonderfully and keeps a large patio/pool deck very comfortable. I highly recommend this gazebo!

Just finished constructing the Backyard 16x12 gazebo. I found the design to be very good, the quality to be excellent with high quality cedar and metal roofing material. I now understand why it has a 100mph wind rating. Assembly instructions were easy to read, and I really appreciated the ability to pre-assemble the roof sections on the ground by myself prior to recruiting help for the final assembly, which took less than half a day! You get what your pay for!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I bought this gazebo and put it together in stages. Great instructions and excellent quality. We do recommend looking up a YouTube video for tips before beginning. It takes time and patience but definitely worth it. Highly recommend. We're so happy with it and love it.
