I recommend that you have a die/tap set to remove the paint from the barrels and bolts, other wise they cross thread. It will take you more then 9 hours to complete, me and my neighbor 3 days. We also had to use a 7/16 bit to enlarge the holes for the bolts and barrels to matchup. I would recommend calling the number on the box for installation, if you have no carpentry skills.

We bought this and paid for the assembly last summer, we had it set up on our already established concrete pad. Assembly was great and we paid an extra 100$ to have it screwed into the concrete!! We live in a very windy area and this thing has survive 89 mph gusts of wind and 30.9 inches of snow and didn’t even bat an eye!! So glad we purchased this!! I don’t know of many more products that would survive!

This came in six boxes on a pallet about 7 months ago. My wife and I put it together in our shed and the moved it out side to the footings. Everything was well packaged. Most importantly all the pieces were there and in pristine condition. There are probably 20 bags of fasteners with small black identification/part numbers on them. Take a red or purple sharpie and write the last three numbers in red, large enough to easily be seen. This made assembly go so much quicker. Otherwise you are searching for the black ink on clear bags containing black parts. We were amazed how easily the assembly went. Almost all the holes and hardware line up perfectly. We have done some remodeling work in the past but we are far from being experts and we had no issues.

First...this is not a pull from the box and just put it together. I found many areas of the instructions I had to improvise. Some of the lag bolts end up cross threading. Thank goodness they provide extra hardware. Everything went along smooth for the most part till I got to the roof. This was a four person job for me. The roof is very heavy once assembled. Next comes lining everything up. Once the roof is in place it's hard to move. After some more improvising, I got it all connected. Lastly was the rain guard at the very top. It is very difficult to get all those screw in without actually being on the roof. I got it attached but it wasnt easy. Bottom line, if you're not used to improvising, pay the extra money and have it installed for you. This took me 2 full days to assemble.

I bought this in 2019 and it has held up really well! This year, we needed to touch up the paint on some of the lower areas that are more exposed to the elements. I was having trouble finding the right color at my local big box stores (we didn't want to have to repaint the entire thing). A reddit post suggested reaching out to customer service at Backyard Discovery (the manufacturer) and, lo and behold, they emailed me a paint code to take to Home Depot to get a can of color matched stain!!! AMAZING! Highly recommend this product and the company that makes them!

We really like the look of this gazebo. But there was so many bolts and nuts missing.

This gazebo looks great the size I though it was 10 x 12 is not the size it is 9.5 x 9.5. If you buy read all the information given. I didn't but I'm still happy with it

I bought the Pergola about 6 weeks ago. Had it installed 2 weeks ago. It looks wonderful. Such a nice addition to our backyard! Sturdy! We enjoy our outdoor oasis!

99% happy with the overall product. Looks great on my back deck! Had it assembled by Sam's service provider. Disappointed to find 2 screws exposed and not screwed into the frame and had 1 extra piece of metal roof...?

Pay the extra and have it delivered and constructed for you because it takes at least 4 very strong and tall people to put it up! It is very nice though
