We are incredibly satisfied with not only how the Cordova looks on our pool deck, but how sturdy this gazebo it is as well. It took a while to put together, but instructions were straight forward and packed well. We went back and forth about having one built, but decided to go with this one after a suggestion from a friend and we couldn't be more happy! We look forward to many gatherings...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] we actually bought 2 - the 10 x 20 gazebo as well as the extra large kitchen gazebo - we are very happy with both! They are solid and well made. We added plastic sides to the 10 x 20 to use it all year round. its a great addition to our deck.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the BIG 10X14 Backyard Discovery Cordova Gazebo and it's absolutely stunning! Holds our ceiling fan underneath as well and the party lights rock too! Thank you guys for everything even the extra planks for better drilling support and for such fast delivery! We had it professionally installed and it's like having a room outdoors!

I picked this product because of its high weight rating (we get snow), and its beautiful style, and it's good price compared to the competition. The best part I found out after the freight company damaged some of the product during delivery and I got to work with customer service. The rep I got was Mae Donovan and she was outstanding! Very friendly, very helpful and very fast. It only took 2 minutes for her to pull me up in her system and tell me she could exchange any parts no problem, no questions asked. It could not have been easier. She sent me an email so I could add part numbers and send it back. The new parts were immediately ordered for me and shipped quickly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this at the beginning of the summer. It is exactly what I envisioned. It's is the perfect area for grilling or just for sitting. It provides the shade needed on a hot sunny afternoon. All materials and parts are of the highest quality. The instructions were easy to follow. The whole project went together easily. We plan to enjoy our Cordova Gazebo for many years to come.

We love our gazebo. We added lights and a fan. My husband and I come out in the evenings just to sit and relax. It's like a staycation. We had a graduation party yesterday and got so many compliments on it. We plan to add a shade on one side for the sun for longer hours of enjoyment!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this gazebo about 6 months ago, and it has truly changed how I feel about my backyard. The family certainly wants to spend time outside while dad grills and even on the cold West Virginia winters we are hanging outside. The gazebo was priced well and the wood smelled beautifully when we opened the boxes. It took my husband and neighbor 3 full days to put up but it was bonding bro-time, so they took it slow while sipping beers and eating pizza. The gazebo is really heavy which is great for the wind gusts of WV, and we have mounted a fan, and some sun curtains to enjoy the time outside all year round. I 100% recommend this brand. No pieces were missing or broken and the instructions were thorough. It was a cool experience for everyone, even the neighbors come hang out in our little concrete pad of heaven.

Let me start off by saying the Gazebo looks amazing and is very sturdy. I used both paper and the app directions while putting this together and I thought they were very clear and easy to follow. A big lesson learned was to set every little baggie of screws, bolts and washers in a way that makes them easy to find. Do the same with the boards. That is the most time consuming part. Finding which board, screws and washers go together can be super difficult if you aren't organized. Now for the bad: my set came warped. I haven't seen wood this warped before. Having to ask for them to send me replacement boards cost me DAYS putting this together. Luckily they have great customer service. It was a major frustration of this project. Some of my roof panels didn't seem to line up even though they were square. This was do to warped boards not aligning with the purlins. I'm happy with the end result… once i get my new ridge cap because i had a bent one…

Backyard Discovery 14' x 10' Cordova Gazebo Review This is a well-designed and organized kit for simple construction with minimal experience. It is packaged and labeled well. The instructions are clear except for a couple of places I'll note below. Delivery: The order arrived in Houston about a week before the estimated delivery date but was not delivered to us until a week after the estimated delivery date. The packages were all in good condition. They are heavy to move around. Assistance & Assembly Time: I was able to do the assembly completely by myself except for two times I needed a few assistants for about ½ hour each time. [Step 7 (Attach 14-ft beams to posts with 10-ft beams attached), Step 12 (Installing roof support), and Step 30-35 (Attach roof panels).] It is a lot of bending over, moving parts, and using a drill to install connectors. I worked on it for about 5 days for about 4 hours each day. Tools: It would help if the Screw Setter H100764 was magnetic to hold screws while lining up with the holes. A hammer drill and 3/16” hammer drill bit are needed for installation on a concrete slab. I used firring strips as spacers between roof panels during construction so they could lay on top of each other during assembly. Positioning: Layout and mark final post positions. We put the gazebo next to our house with a 6” gap between the house gutter and the gazebo roof edge. This was barely enough to pass the roof section up between the gap and took some extra hands to support this during installation. It also made installing the Corner Ridge Cap in Step 40 difficult as this is intended to slide onto Ridge Cap Channel from the bottom. We used pliers to bend open the Corner Ridge Cap on one side to allow this to clip over the Ridge Cap Channel and then bend back in place as best as possible before sliding into position. Assembly Notes: Recommend doing Step 9-11 before Step 7-8 so assistants can help with Step 7 and Step 12 at the same time. I did all roof panel framing before attaching sheeting. (Step 14-18 twice, Step 22-26 twice, then Step 19-21 twice and Step 27-29 twice.) IMPORTANT NOTES: Step 20 & 28 Ridge Cap Channel Assembly – Ensure the bottom end of the channel is above the bottom roof joist to allow space for installation of the Edge Trim Corner Splice in Step 38. THIS IS NOT MENTOINED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. Step 38 Edge Trim Corner Splice Assembly – Ensure Edge Trim Corner Splice is UNDER the Ridge Cap Channel. THIS IS NOT CLEAR IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. This is needed to allow installation of the Corner Ridge Cap in Step 40.

Instructions were very informative, recommend, reading thru all steps and understanding each will facilitate the assembly. Parts fit nicely together. Had a part damaged in shipping, but called the 800 number and they had the part shipped out that day. Very Happy with purchase. Now I will be tackling Backyard Discovery's Swing set for my grandchildren. You make great products. Thank You (by the way this way the second Gazabo I have purchased and the third one I have Built).
