We live in central California which can get hot in the summer time. About 5 years age we puchased a home with a small padio but needed more covered area in the backyard. Our gardener suggested a gazebo to increase coverage. We purchased a 12x14 Meridian Gazebo that the gardening company installed for us. It's has worked well in the backyard as it looks good and checks all the boxes of needs for us. We added a ceiling fan to help with the hot summers. One of the things that we added was white reflective paint to the aluminum roof. The reflective paint made a big difference at dropping the temperature under the gazebo.

We set up our gazebo on our patio in the backyard. Provides perfect shade and shelter for barbecuing in the rain. Solidly built and aesthetically appealing as well. Hollow posts allowed us to easily run wiring for twinkle lights, providing a great atmosphere at night. Yardistry customer service also amazing. We had a piece crsck about a month after install and they were so helpful and replaced it very quickly.

Easy to assemble after reading the instructions. The parts fit together perfectly. Was missing some pieces not because Yardistry but due to the retailer. Yardistry has stepped up and had my missing parts in a few days. The product is excellent the service is way over and above anything I experienced with any company in a long, long time. I would absolutely recommend anything they make based on my experience.

Assembled about a month ago and we could not be happier. Plenty of room for our large dinning area and a sectional set. Family and friends give us rave reviews and the quality is excellent. We added the rain gutter system and it does a great job of helping keep the water away from the sides of the floor. Not super easy to put together so just take your time. We spent a week and brought in lots of help for the roof assembly. Our only regret is that we did not go with the 12 by 24😎

We were considering having an addition added to our house onto the family room. After discussing with our contractor the costs of doing this we decided to install another Yardistry Gazebo. We purchased the 12x20 Gazebo and had Yardistry arrange the installation. Since we wanted some pop to the Gazebo we installed a Garapa wood floor over the concrete. This would allow rain water to flow under the floor while having the strength to hold the Gazebo. Once installation was complete we added electric for lighting, ceiling fans and stereo speakers. We're planning on adding a television sometime in the future. This has become a great spot for quiet morning coffee or evening entertaining.

I built the 12X14 Meridian to cover our back patio. Putting it together requires basic - intermediate skills but the instructions are well written, and the wood cuts / holes are spot on - it came together very nicely. All the hardware is included. I did seal the main posts and edging prior to assembly to give those pieces some extra protection. It does require at least 3 able-bodied persons to get the roof panels on - they are surprisingly light but awkward to maneuver. I added the gutter kit which is fairly easy to install and does a great job of channeling the rain into the landscaping. And finally, I added a plug-in outdoor ceiling fan and light with additional plugs for phone chargers - all outdoor extension cords and cord covers. My wife was in charge of furnishings and decorations. Overall, I am thrilled with the results and a huge fun of Yardistry products.

We bought this a few weeks ago and are very happy with the outcome. It looks great in our backyard and we are looking forward to enjoy it in the weeks and years to come. Watching videos were key in the assembling process. Although there was a damaged part in one of the boxes, customer service was very helpful and quick in sending a replacement.

We purchased this item, very much dreading putting it together. What a shock, everything labeled correctly. Step by step instructions. Well built, sturdy and not as hard to put up as I thought. Looks great in our backyard, we have a firepit in the middle with our patio furniture around. Well worth the money

We are very pleased with this gazebo and how it turned out. It seems well made. I would have given it 5 stars but took one away due to having such a difficult time getting all the plastic wrapping off the metal pieces. It may have taken longer for us to do that then actually build the gazebo. My husband did most of the construction by himself but we had 2 others help when it came time to putting the roof panels on.

We have a nice backyard all pavers but it was lacking something which would have made it more comfortable. So I bought the 10 x 10 Meridian Gazebo. I treated the all the wood with cedar preserva wood before I started so that took a couple of more days but it looks much better after I finished. I built it myself did have two of my friends help with the initial frame and another time with the roof panels. Took out some pavers and anchored it at each corner so it’s not going anywhere. Came out great. My wife and family love it. I had one board for a roof panel which was too bowed to use. Called Yardistry, they shipped it, got it in two days, so didn’t delay my build. Impressive! So my neighbor saw my finished kit and is starting on his in two weeks.
