It wasn't until I found that they had an app to show how to build it that the work got easier. If you are going to build it then you need at least 3 people. Of course you can pay to have someone build it which may have been the better option for me. Live and Learn.

Live this gazeebo. My last one collapsed from snow. I doubt this one will. Went together pretty easy. Takes two ppl easy to put together. If u know what you're doing, can take a day. Holes somewhat line up. Screws easily strip so be careful. Over all love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is beautiful & very well made. Very solid construction. My only "beef" with this is 2 of the cedar boards came to us cracked (we had to nail them back together) and the cedar boards which hold the top ridge together were very warped (I had to join them with c-clamps). Instructions were good & simple to follow.

The gazebo is fine and what we expected. The post sales process and installation process has been cumbersome at best. Technician was supposed to be there 7/27 from 12-4 or 5 PM for the install. He arrived to install the gazebo around 6 and bolted a few things together and left at 8. He came back Sunday afternoon and stood the gazebo up. Missed Monday, came Tuesday...still not finished. Missed Wednesday and is coming back Thursday 8/1. We are keeping our fingers crossed that we have a secured gazebo, all the bolts installed correctly and they remove the rest of the left over shipping crates 6 days later!

I purchased it for my husband for his birthday and he had to put it together! Happy Birthday!! But anyways the bolts need to be rethreaded and a lot of the holes did not line up. It estimates it should take 8-10 hours, but it was more than double.

The end product is beautiful….it’s a job for at least 3 people….gotta have good construction skills….it will take at least two days to assemble. Customer service is perfect….you can chat with them anytime and they are fast to respond. I am going to stain it again and use a sealer since I live in NW. Overall a great experience.

I was very pleased with the quality of our new gazebo! Delivery was right on time. When the assemblers arrived they went right to work, They were quite efficient and completed it in 21/2 hours from when they arrived. the only drawback was the time it took to apply the waterproof sealant. Several long afternoons. I would not hesitate to recommend this item to anyone considering it.

I did a lot of online research before buying the Backyard Discovery gazebo. I was very happy with my choice. It is very good quality and had a good price compared to others on the market. It did take much longer to assemble than described and you really need 3 adults most of the time.

I’ve only had it a short time but we sat out in a rain storm and stayed comfy and dry under it. It is very sturdy. The only thing I would say is if you are not handy this may not be for you. Also this is not a one man job to put together unless you are an experienced construction person. I love it though!

I bought this almost 2 months ago and had it in my garage until the deck was finished to bolt it onto my deck. It finally was built and I LOVE it!!! It is such a sturdy piece and great quality! It took 2 days to put up with 2-3 people working on it, with my husband on top of the roof at times, so if you are less mobile, I would recommend paying the extra to have it built.
