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.

We love our gazebo. It helped us to create a whole outdoor living area. It definitely took an entire day to put together but well worth it. It looks great and we get a ton of compliments. We are getting ready to purchase another one for the side of our house.

After allot of researching different products and companies I purchased the Meridian Gazebo. It took 2 full days to assemble. Wood quality and pre-drilled hole alignment was excellent overall, I only had to re-drill 3 holes as they were only slightly off. The roof assembly was the most challenging. I'd suggest to lay all the roof panels on the wood before screwing anything down. I also used a clamp and wood to help bring the roof panels close enough to begin joining them. Overall, it goes together well and the end product was worth the cost and effort.

Description: the description and online photos are 100% accurate. As described, the structure is super solid and pre-drilled holes are spot on. Price: excellent price considering the quality of the product. Packing: it comes in 4 boxes strapped to one 4x8 pallet. The pieces are well packed and easy to inventory. The only annoying thing was peeling all the plastic wrapping off the metal pieces (overkill). Assembly: it went very smoothly. I needed 2 additional people to get the initial steps completed to get the structure established. Then I didn’t need help until putting the roof sections into place. It took just over 1 day (14 hours) to assemble the structure. I lost a lot of time peeling the plastic wrap off the metal pieces. Of note: Keep in mind this is an outdoor structure, so the corners and long boards connect with small gaps and moderately flush. Regardless, the structure is super solid and rain doesn’t not penetrate the roof AT ALL...dry everywhere underneath during a rain storm. Assembly: it

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 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.

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.

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!

We bought this gazebo 3 years ago and love it! We sit out under it in all kinds of weather. We especially enjoy sitting out there in the rain, when all the neighbors have to go inside, we just enjoy the sound of the rain and watch the wildlife. We also have added a grilling pavilion this last fall, my husband loves grilling and this keeps him in the shade and out of the rain whenever he's cooking!

Purchased in March 2020 and installed in May. We are pleased with the product and hopeful that it will remain as beautiful as it is now. Initially it took three people to erect until we came to the roof and its installation. Made some minor comments regarding the instructions but overall satisfied. It is a beautiful addition to our deck.
