[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this in March to satisfy my desire for a covered deck. I wanted to hire a contractor to build a covered add on but it was way to expensive. I'm so glad I found this gazebo. I have not one thing to say bad about this product. It came in 4 or 5 boxes- earlier than expected which was a plus. The first thing I recommend is to find the box with the instructions and follow them from start to finish and you will not have any issues. It will start with telling how to unpack the boxes and lay everything out... yes guys, this is important. This product came with 4 clamps, drill bits, just about all you need to get the job done. You will be amazed how quality this product is. All the boards were pre-cut, pre- notched, pre- drilled, everything fit just as it was supposed to. We did have to change the order up a tad bit since we were building it on our deck up against the roof on the house, but it still worked great. It was designed to be built in the open. We also added guttering to ours to help keep the splatters down. (something to be considered as an add on maybe- it looks great) We have gotten so many compliments on it and everyone in agreement with how solid it is and well built. I hope this review lets you know just how much you need one of these. I don't think we've ever made a better purchase or have been happier than we are with this one. Don't think twice - just buy it. You won't be sorry. It''s now November and we still love it. I tell myself every day what a great investment this was

ALL components are well labeled and easily identifiable. Even the metal roof components are film covered to keep it protected until installation. I think removing the film is the actual hardest part, patience is needed, but you figure out tricks as you go along. Assembling sections on a painter's tarp will help minimize scratches and scuffs to wood finish. One main builder and an extra set of hands can complete the project, but a couple extra sets always helps speed things up. Great investment, because after anchoring it, it is SOLID!

The assembly of the product has very little tolerance for error and field conditions. Roof panels do not overlap with wide seams. I have a concern for when it rains that water will drip through the seams. Further the fact that the entire process requires assistance of others to install is a downfall in my opinion. Assembly of the roof in four units that each require lifting is not a good idea. The units are very heavy and lifting is awkward and not safe for a 16ft section. The roof should be considered to be assembled in place. Hardware is a low grade steel and should be replaced/ upgraded in key areas such as where the roof sections combine. Overall the unit has a nice look but could benefit from another person or review assembly by a single person.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The gazebo was easy to put together as long as you followed the instructions. Finished mine up and friends seen it and purchased one too. theirs was even easier to assemble after putting mine together

I originally gave a very poor review of this gazebo. Upon completion I'll bump it up to 3 stars. It does look nice once assembled. Assembly is a pain especially considering extra assembly is required to save them on shipping costs. Removing blue stickers from metal was a nightmare and the large amount of 1" lumber warped in the heat. All in all assembly wasn't the worst and it looks nice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our purchase was July of 2022. We had several hiccups to include an uncooperative delivery company and a gentleman that was supposed to put it all together and realized that it was too much for him and his helper so he lied and said we didn't have all the parts. Nadege was an AMAZING help getting all of it straightened out! This is an great gazebo and the favorite part of our backyard!

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.

We lost our first gazebo (soft-top) to the harsh winters in the northeast, and knew we needed something better. Luckily, this seems to fit the bill nicely. Snow load ratings are one of the best around in the "kit" category, and the price was extremely reasonable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I knew I would not have a lot of help putting this thing together. I was pleasantly surprised how easy the instructions were to follow and there is also step-by-step instructions in the Built app to follow along with. The wood is light enough that I was able to easily maneuver the pieces myself. My neighbor is a contractor and he told me that he was surprised how quickly and efficiently I was able to put the thing together by myself. I did need help lifting the constructed room pieces onto the frame, but that only took about 20 minutes with 3 people. It is well crafted and looks great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this gazebo. I have it over my hot tub and it looks nice, have received many compliments. It is a quality product and attractive, The electrical outlet is a great feature, it was a good deal. Great value for the money.
