While had a lovely wood deck and a pretty pergola, the deck needed constant maintenance and the pergola did not keep out rain, bugs, debris and pollen. We replaced this with a large stone patio and a large 12’x20’ Meridian Gazebo! We also purchased the mesh zippered mosquito netting, and I can say that this netting keeps out rain too! We had electricity brought up to the gazebo and have 4 receptacles, and even added a ceiling fan with a light. Now we can enjoy a comfy time under the gazebo, rain or shine. Love, love, love the new look and functionality of our patio!

Bought the 12 x 16 Gazebo early summer, apart for fitting the roof built it myself with the assistance of Irwin clamps. Looks brilliant with the mosquito mesh kit, a must for Scotland.Unfortunately I failed to get the rain gutter kit at the same time, also a must have for Scotland, just waiting for the hot tube, can’t wait. Had loads of compliments on how good it looks.Defo recommend this gazebo.

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😎

Our redwood gazebo that housed our hot tub was smashed by two falling trees in our backyard by the "bomb" cyclone that struck this past March. We found the Meridian gazebo to be the right size, but Yardistry doesn't offer privacy panels for the 10x10 at this time. I designed these panels myself and our contractor built everything to our specifications.

We are both 72. We constructed all the parts and erected the 10 x 10 frame on a wood deck 21 inches above the ground with no assistance. We then waited 3 weeks until the Stay at home order was lifted and our Kids ( adults) came out and installed the roof panel . We found the instructions clear,easy to understand and along with the videos very helpful. I required the Adult kids to watch the roof install video . From start to finish under 2 hours. We laided out every item and counted every thing. Being organize ,having a place to lay down material so they can be counted . Very good and well made Gazebo

Bought this structure because or old fabric structure collapsed under a early fall snow dump . I can’t believe how well designed this structure is for strength . It took my wife and I roughly 2 days to build ( causally 6 hrs a day ) . The video was extremely helpful and I only looked at the instruction book to reference bolt and screw sizes . The roof panels are quite light that I could lift them into place while my wife was in the centre to hold the first panel up while I placed the second panel , bolted them together and the rest was a one man project. Again, I am amazed how well designed this structure is , wow !

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've wanted this gazebo for over a year now, but I had to get the "boss" to approve. She finally caved and let me buy it a few weeks ago! I ordered it online and picked it up a week ago. It's been completed now for 2 days and all I can say is I love it! Our backyard is not very big at all and our covered patio just wasn't enough. When we had a paver patio installed last summer, it gave us more entertainment room, but without any kind of shade, it didn't allow us to do much, especially in the hot summer sun of Phoenix. I'm glad I finally was able to purchase this gazebo and allow our family to enjoy the backyard year round! Construction is not for everyone. I work in the building materials industry and I have some extensive DIY experience, but this wasn't easy. The directions, at times, were hard to follow because there were some grammatical errors. And then some of the wood was warped (one of the side beams was warped, as well as a few of the of roof rafter beams), which made it difficult to fasten. Overall, I thought the construction was pretty straight-forward. The quality of the gazebo is excellent! I feel it's extremely sturdy and will stand the test of time. My wife already put on a coat of stain/sealer to darken the wood a little bit and it looks great! We'll be adding a fan and some string lights in the coming weeks. Overall: AWESOME PRODUCT!!! 4-Star Review only because of the warped wood and slight difficulty understanding installation instructions.

I would give this gazebo a perfect 10 except for one big issue I have: after getting it up, the next day my hands broke out in blisters and fingers swollen - seems that I am allergic to the plastic covering of the roofing metal pieces. There is lots of plastic to be removed by hand. If you are allergic to latex get someone else to remove the covering!!!!!!!!!!!! We were 4 seniors who put this up: one in his 60s, 2 in our 70s and on in his 80s. Took us 3 hot, sunny afternoons and lots of water breaks. I did some sub-assemblies in the garage out of the sun but the strong essence of the cedar started making me woozy. With garage door fully open letting in warm but fresh air all was soon fine. We had one issue with following the directions: We had the outside roof triangle assembly upside down. Realized this when we came to attach the metal roof pieces. Fortunately, taking the piece off and reattaching it was minor. Later on the third day of assembly we had a BBQ for the 4 assemblers and wives. Looks great in our backyard on a 10 x 10 wooden deck/platform about 7 feet from the house. Plan to purchase a few cedar planks and attach to one end to serve as a windbreak and privacy screen. It would be about shoulder height down to knee level. Maybe a metal decorative panel(s) on a second side. Maybe a lattice on the third side to have plants growing up. Fourth side open to enter and exit. A few minor aches and pains suffered by the senior 4; however, it didn't stop the others from playing golf the next day or two later.

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.
