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 just recently completed installing the Gazebo at our campsite. It's sturdy, looks amazing, and provides good shade! We love it!. Definitely requires attention to detail during assembly, but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to do the assembly. All you need is 2 - 3 people giving you a hand at certain points in the install and some patience.

This Gazebo could have been built a lot faster if the hardware was a lot better and the small predrilled holes were easier to see. I had to work the bolts on and off the nuts numerous times before actually using them on the gazebo. It gets very annoying having to do that numerous times every step of the way. Other than these 2 problems the gazebo would have been fairly easy to put together

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.

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!

We bought this from Sam's club and put it together ourselves, I feel like it went together fairly easy. I had some friends help me put on the roof panels. Some of the roof frame boards were a little warped but nothing too serious. If you have to have a missing or damaged piece replaced just contact them and they'll expedite it to you right away, that's what they say at least, I didn't have any missing or damaged pieces. The electrical kit is a nice touch. We sealed all the individual pieces before we began assembly, the instructions say the warranty is contingent on that. The warranty is pro-rated and decreases over time. It's imperative that you make sure everything is square and level during assembly. This thing is very sturdy and stately and beautiful! I feel like it probably raised our property value. We had a steel framed canvas gazebo before that got destroyed by a windstorm last fall, I told the wife we're not wasting money on another one like that, we're going to put in something permanent and nice. This thing says made in China but the company, backyard discovery, is in Pittsburgh Kansas. We're very happy with our purchase.

This is a well built and good priced product. If you have any experience building things it’s a breeze to put together, but I do recommend having a couple of people to help along the way. I’m happy with the price and the quality is great. The only downsize I can think of is that the 6x6 posts aren’t actual posts. They are four boards put together and hollow in the middle. This does make them lighter and easier to handle though. If your looking for a everything included gazebo this is it. The only thing you have to outsource is concrete to bolt the whole structure too.

We purchased this Gazebo last June. Words cannot fully explain how the addition of this gazebo has altered the experience in our backyard patio! To begin with it creates and incredible welcoming, comforting and relaxing experience. Many of our neighbors and friends have commented about the welcoming and cosey feeling the gazebo provides during many of our social gatherings! It is also aesthetically very pleasing and greatly enhances the appearance of our patio giving it and our backyard a very classy look. In addition, the electrical outlets provided make adding additional accessories such as a fan and patio lights very convenient! Since adding this gazebo, we spend far more time outdoors enjoying the relaxing ambiance it provides! This was a great purchase for our family!

I can’t say enough about this purchase. It looks great! The quality is excellent, looks professionally built. It is made of cedar wood which is a plus. It was not very difficult to build, did it myself. Best purchase ever, paid approx. $1500 in store.

Based on the specs provided I hired a contractor to put cement tubes four feet in the ground. The assembly people are awesome but the structure is two inches too wide. So I'm going to have to hire the contractor again to pour concrete slabs and reschedule the assembly. Mean while it's half way built laying in my yard. Doesn't seem like the company is going to reimburse me for extra costs. Not impressed. It's a nice product. Just don't follow the blueprints.
