This is a solid good looking gazebo but takes a good amount of work to assemble. Estimate 2 people 2 days (an extra day if you are not building it on a level surface) Do your homework before starting. Would be easier if all the bolts were not painted. Definitely not a beginner DIY project but worth the effort when it all comes together.

We've had lots of flimsy gazebo things get ruined too quickly due to high wind and weather. This one was constructed over the weekend and has more brackets, nuts and bolts and support structure than any we've had before. Parts were many but instructions were easy enough to follow. It looks great and we plan on enjoying it for many years to come!

I have been truly enjoy my gazebo. Save me thousands of dollars by not having one built that is attached to my house. Installation took about 2 days. I did 90% alone. The main thing I needed help with was setting the first vertical section and the roof. Overall very satisfied,

It has now been a year since we installed the Brookdale gazebo in our small yard. Not only has it extended our living space outdoors, transformed the look of our yard and makes our outdoor living space more functional, but it also withstood a rather treacherous winter. It looks as good today as it did a year ago when we installed it!

Love this gazebo! Well made, daughter & friend installed in about 9 hours. Follow instructions carefully step by step & it will go smoothly. They lifted each roof half up themselves, with my husband on a ladder ready to attach it. I have to give the customer care dept. an A+ as they are just awesome! We just can’t stop going out & relaxing in our Backyard retreat:-) Ac++++

Gazebo instructions using bilt app were very good. I built wood forms of roof on ground and then placed on roof then I attached metal roof panels from roof level. A 8 ft ladder worked fine.I highly recommend anyone building this Gazebo to do the same. It will save your back and make squaring your roof panel easier.

Purchased and installed the 12X10 Brookdale gazebo last summer. Very pleased with shipping and quality of product. Live in North Dakota and it’s holding up well with the weather conditions. I have it bolted to a concrete slab and gazebo is very sturdy.

We bought this gazebo is the mist of the pandemic last June. Assembly definitely requires 2-3 people mainly because of all the pieces/parts and the weight. Instructions were very straightforward. There were a few times we got confused. Recommended is to lay out off the hardware and keep it organized. It's a given but there are a ton! It took my husband, dad and brother about 9-10 hours. Overall, I'd recommend it! We get nothing but compliments!

Purchased it to help protect our hottub. Kit wen together well and each piece seemed to make it a litte more solid. Wish some of the pieces were single (instead of double), but understandable beacuse of shipping. Overall a good deal. Only drawback is that the power cord is way to short (it's only a couple feet long), so to use it you have an extention cord running up the side of the gazebo leg.

I just purchased this and I am pleased with how it accents my backyard. I purchased a mosquito netting and a privacy curtain in addition to adding white lights to accent it when we sit outside at night. It took a full day to install but we’re looking forward to spending time with friends and family with the gazebo. It was shipped a few days early which was nice!
