[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this gazebo in memory of my sister. She always sat in the shade, while I always seek the sun. This gazebo will give my family and friends a place to choose where they want to be, sun or shade, close to the lake.

Let me syart by sayonf I dont wrie reviews but was so impressed with this I wanted to share my thought and give credit where credit is due. My mom purchased this after having 2 steel frame with cloth covers for the past several years with the hassle of trying to get replacemnt covers. I researched the Cordova. We live in Northeast and need to have at least 40 pound per square foot snow load. This exceeded the regional snow rating and I also liked the all wood frame construction. I've built alot of things over many years from house framing to steel buildings and am usually dissappointed with kit type products being a professional. This was really easy to put together and alot of detail was put into the design as well as the assembly manual. Everything was very clear and easy to follow step by step. As long as you can read and have some skill I thing even someone without extensive construction skills could assemble one of these. I am completely satisfied with the finished product it goes beyond my expectations and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice product at a reasonble price.

This gazebo was just what we needed to fully wnjoy our back patio!! We built it ourselves and you defeinlty need three people at minimum for putting the roof pieces up. However all the direction on the paper and the Bilt app, were clear and easy to follow! Highly recommed!

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!

Love it!! Had to hire through another company because GoConfigure is NO good in Las Vegas. Had to replace one of the wood parts because it was warped. I was on a time schedule so couldn't wait for a replacement. But love our backyard oasis. Unable to add photo says too large.

This is the second product we have bought from them. my only complaint is that the app instructions will have instructions that the paper one doesn't. For example, when anchoring the gazbeo, the app tells you how big a hole you need to drill, but the paper ones do not.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had spent years running out during high winds or thunder storms, climbing on a ladder to pull the cover off my old lightweight patio gazebo. I desperately wanted to upgrade but the cost of building my own was crazy expensive. Then comes the Cordova! What a huge upgrade! Unit looks great even like I built it myself (well I did!). It was a lot of work to build but I’m very happy with the outcome. Be sure to give yourself time to build it. It does take time and extra help. Don’t rush and layout all of the parts. You’ll need extra help lifting the roof panels into place. They are not light. Plan ahead, take your time and it will be well worth the effort. They also gave one or two extra of every fastener. No missing parts! That all said, I did have a number of chipped or warped boards. Careful planning allowed me to cover or straighten most of them. Backyard Discovery did offer to send me extra stain (which was nice!) but haven’t seen it yet. Will be adding my own electrical and ceiling fan in the next week. Just in time to enjoy the summer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this to finish out our newly remodeled backyard pool and patio reno. Absolutely 💯 recommend Backyard Discovery. The app for you to assemble yourself was amazing and not one bolt or screw didn't match up they all went as it was designed. My wife and I both over 60 did this ourselves and are very pleased with the build and quality of it. Fit as expected and we love it!

I bought this because of the great reviews I read, all were good , now I am here to say that for the price of this pergola, I was highly disappointed that the posts are hollow and they used 2 pieces of wood GLUED together to make each side. Wow, mine sat outside until I got it put up, and every post started separating. I called and told them and they sent more posts, the bottom they put a solid piece in the opening to make it look solid but other end is wide open! I am very disappointed in the quality of this product, beware

My husband and I purchased this gazebo and paid a couple of our son-in-laws friends to install it! They had some knowledge of assembling it as they purchased similar gazebos. It took the just over 9 hours to put it together! We are very happy with the finished product!!
