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 purchased this about a month ago. My husband & I (in our 70’s) worked for a couple wks between rain(&snow) to build the pieces. Our boys came last Sunday & in an hour, put the roof panels on! Beautiful gazebo & very well-built. Every thing fit perfectly!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Cordova from Backyard Discovery in late spring 2023 and it's been fantastic! It is so well built, sturdy and it totally transformed the look of my deck and backyard. There is enough space for a table seating 8 underneath and still room to walk around. I chose it because compared to every other brand, the build quality and ratings for wind and snow were better. Plus it looks beautiful! You can't build one this good, this safe, and looks this nice on your own for the price. I added some fans with remotes up inside and some lights around the edge. I get nothing but compliments on it. So glad I chose Backyard Discovery brand. Highly recommend.

We absolutely love our new cedar gazebo! It’s not only beautiful, but also incredibly sturdy. The natural wood grain of the cedar gives it a timeless look that blends perfectly with our backyard. You can tell it’s built to last, with solid construction that holds up well in various weather conditions. It’s become a stunning focal point of our outdoor space, and we couldn’t be happier with the quality and craftsmanship. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a durable and attractive addition to their home!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my 14x10 Cordova gazebo. Great addition to my patio area. Materials are excellent quality, cut for precise fit, pretty easy to assemble. Instructions and video great help. Please with my purchase.

Our daughter and grandson helped build it, along with a few extras to help lift the roof sections. It replaced a canvas topped gazebo that flapped constantly in the wind. We added lights for evening enjoyment, and are looking forward to a relaxing time this summer.

This an amazing gazebo that has a high end look at a fraction of the price, using the bilt app makes this build so easy with voice and 3d graphics I was amazed that even I could build this with a little help from my sons highly recommend. Did have only one hiccup pack was missing 2 boards but had extra 2 of another, nuts bolts & washers all come with extra spares, or at least I hope they were (lol)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When we first decided to install a gazebo a few months ago, we did our research thoroughly and decided on the Cordova Gazebo for style, strength and stability. We were not disappointed! The overall experience and completed result was amazing. It has since provided comfort, relaxation and a place for our family to enjoy being outdoors. The installation was simple and we had no issues. We added lighting, fan, blinds and seamless gutters to match. Thank you Backyard Discovery for a wonderful product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple of months ago and it is perfect for our space! We hung lights inside it and it is our favorite place to be at night. We also love it for the shade it provides during the day. We assembled it ourselves and had the help of our neighbors when putting on the roof and it wasn't terrible. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out! I did a lot of research and ended up deciding on this one and I am so glad I did. We get a lot of rain and snow it and it is very sturdy and high quality. I highly recommend it!

As folks who has tackled numerous DIY projects, we can attest the clarity and detail provided n the instructions were unparalleled. each step was clearly outlined, accompanied by detailed diagrams and labeled pieces, making the assembly process remarkably straightforward. The use of the precision pre-drilled components streamlined the installation process as well. We chose the Barrington 20x12 Gazebo after searching for several months for just right Gazebo. We can proudly say that the THIS exceeded our expectations in every way, providing us with a magnificent sanctuary to cherish the beauty of our butterfly garden and honor the memory of a beloved family member that passed on Christmas day 2022. Its exceptional design, durability, and ability to evoke a sense of peace and comfort make it an invaluable addition to our backyard oasis. We are truly grateful for the serenity, family gathering space and beauty it has brought to us.
