I was expecting missing and broken parts, horrible instructions, and difficult assembly but got none of that. I didn't even swear during the assembly process! It was actually very easy to assemble and required zero modifications. I'd suggest reading the directions COMPLETELY before starting as you can save yourself a lot of time setting up an assembly line. One person can complete all the subassemblies in a couple days. Instructions said 4 people required for final assembly but me and wifey did it just fine. TBD how well it holds up, but so far, I was very pleased with the purchase.

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.

I highly recommend any of the Yardistry products ... I bought the 10 X12 meridian pergola a couple of years ago and installed fiberglass panelling over top to cover my hot tub to enjoy it during the rainy season and during the snow season .... never looked back... a breeze to put together and stands up to the extremes of weather we get here on the west coast .... since then I have also purchased the 6X8 green house ..... awesome . and the care and instructions that went into the design and manufacturing of it were beyond compare ... a bit of a jigsaw puzzle but easy if you follow the detailed instructions... all parts needed were included .... Just call me a happy satisfied customer and I know where I will go for any other structure that I require

Our backyard went from being a yard with a concrete slab to a space that we truly can use year round. Our gazebo has added so much living space to our house, as it can be used year round. We've had it two years and it looks like new! It is a quality product and we couldn't be happier!

We have had ours for nearly 5 years. Last year we redid the stain using a Cabot product. Found a very close color match with no problem. Still water tight and with the new stain looks like new. It was fairly easy for an experienced DYIer. Need to go slow and READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. We set up an assembly area on the basketball court with saw horses and an assembly table. Well worth the price!!

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.

I just bought and built the 20 x12 gazebo and it's great. Quick delivery, good quality and good instructions. Better quality than I expected for the price. 1 set of pieces was missing but Yardistry sent the parts right away. Very satisfied. Tip for building...follow instructions carefully and have enough time/ manpower to complete to keep it fun.

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.

This item has been a treasure. We spend so much more time outdoors and provides us with shade and light rain protection. Can store chairs and tables without covers and is made with solid wood and other materials. One bad feature....I do not get as much work done inside..love the outdoors!

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!
