We had the manpower. Everyone watched the 'helpful hints' videos on line. We had all of the cedar components built in a couple of hours. No issues. Until we started to installing the aluminum roof panels. Dead stop. It took us 4 hours to peel the plastic film off. A ridiculous amount of time. Yardistry will respond that the plastic film is there to protect the panels. My response: Find a better way. The ridge caps, roof ridge track sections and roof trim sections all peeled easily. The panels, not so much. It was like a kind of torture! Lol. Also, look for parts inside the main posts, they're hollow and we had some inventory hidden in there. A solid product, well packaged, well designed. Could have done without the plastic film drama.

I bought two of these gazebos because I love the way they look. However, within the first 4 months parts started to crack and split and the issue was growing. I emailed Yardistry and they replaced several of the pieces under their warranty. They were a bit of a pain to replace but it worked out in the end, and Yardistry was pleasant to deal with. I live in Southern California which is typically hot and dry but that year was atypically very wet and we went through several cycles of wet and then hot. I'm sure this didn't help the product even though the parts were treated. In the end, I would buy them again. As a side note, several of the pieces came warped, don't tighten the bolts until you have a lot of the product already together or it can be difficult to assemble.

Easy to assemble and good to as a foundation to customize to my specific needs. I turned the Gazebo into a small pool house. Equipped with a kitchen including a gas stove, sink, and fridge. Even a small bathroom and a roll down gate to enclose the bar opening.

The Gazebo covers a above ground Spa. It provides shade during sunshine days and protection from the rain in bad weather. With the lights we added it makes spa use at any time and in any weather. at the instructions were very helpful and direct. It indicated you would need up to four people during some steps and if those instructions were followed everything went well.

We bought this gazebo so that we could add some shade to our deck, and also enjoy sitting outside in the rain. The gazebo is very sturdy and well constructed. I was particularly impressed with the precision; all of the cuts and predrilled holes were bang-on. Everything fit together well! I did the majority of the assembly myself, but there are places where they say you need four people, and you really do need all four people to complete some of the steps. And three step ladders. But follow the instructions and watch the video, and it will go smoothly.

We bought product about 2 months ago. Like that it had predrilled holes so you know exactly where to attach parts. Instructions were easy to use. Make sure you have 4 to 5 people for roof assembly, but otherwise it is an easy 2 person job. Love the looks and gives good shade.

I have to say that my Yardistry Meridian Gazebo has exceeded all of my expectations. It is a quality product that was not too difficult to assemble and is very beautiful. It’s substantial, sturdy & in my opinion a thoughtful & strong design. Paired with our Yardistry mosquito netting is a beautiful addition to our outdoor living area.

My husband and I put this together ourselves over the course of several days. We had extra help for the steps where additional hands were needed. We needed to level it out with some PVC “lifts” so unfortunately we had to use a different mount & anchor system. Our backyard faces North, so it’s morning rising sun, all day sun, and evening setting sun!!! This gazebo has made our patio usable and enjoyable. It’s good looking, appears solid, and looks great with string lights at night!

We ordered and erected the 10x10 Meridian Gazebo over the last week and I would like to compliment Yardistry on the quality of the product. The engineered design was very thoughtful and thorough; I am impressed with how well everything fit together and how relatively easy it was to assemble. The materials were of apparently excellent quality; given that this is a natural wood product, some minor deficiencies are to be expected, but they were very few in number and essentially imperceptible. My only quibble would be to repeat what others have commented on regarding the plastic film applied to the roofing panels; very time-consuming and annoying to remove. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase; 5 stars.

What an amazing Gazebo for the price. Great looking addition to my backyard. this was a really fun project to assemble instructions were great and all the hardware is there. also customer service was excellent when I requested a few replacement parts.
