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 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!

Did all the work myself except for putting the roof panels up, where I just had a few neighbors help get them in place. I added my own back wall with louvers and getting ready to put an outdoor kitchen inside. It was perfect for my pool and backyard!

We absolutely love this gazebo. It seems very sturdy. We've had several wind storms and it's not moved (we did anchor it into concrete). Granted, this was not easy to assemble. We had to get help from several people and it took many evenings of intense work. I'm not certain I'd try to do this again. However, the after product is awesome.

The directions for the most part are easy to read and the assembly is fairly easy to put together. Why I give this a 3 star is because the roofing panels, all the side strips, well anything that is aluminum has a sticky plastic film on them. The assembly took 2 people about 8 hours until we got to pulling the sticky film off. That so far has taken us 6 hours.. My fingers hurt, I am cut up, elbows are raw from leaning on this roofing panel all day and how bad is this for the environment. If I had known that this film was on the aluminum panels I may have gotten the client to go with another company.

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.

This gazebo is an excellent product and looks very attractive when finished. The instructions are detailed and relatively easy to follow. Even building it in a relatively confined space was not difficult. It did take four people to assemble the beam to post structure and the roof assemblies. Most of the assembly could be done by one person. The thought process that went into the engineering was incredible. Pieces fit when they were supposed to and almost everything, within the limitations of a wood product, was cut and drilled perfectly. Everything lined up as it should have for an easy assembly. I do have a few suggestions for additions/adjustments to the instruction manual. it would be helpful to know the height from the deck/flat surface that the gazebo is to be mounted on to the center of the roof panel assembly. I used a "dead man" 2 by 4 to hold the first and subsequent panels up. It was easier for a person to push the notched dead man up and down than to try to hold the panel up while standing on a ladder and maneuvering each panel up where they go. When doing the beam assemblies the instructions do say bolt heads are on the outside of the beams, but it would slo be useful to reiterate in several locations and explain the beams need to be t-nut to t-nut to assure a flat surface to bolt beams together. And finally, it would be helpful to mark the roof assembly better. It is hard to visualize the right and left corner to facial beam assembly from the drawings alone. It would be helpful to use A to A, B to B, etc marked on the various wood pieces. Corner Lt could be A and Facia Beam Assembly left side could be A. Corner LT and corner RT could be labeled B and B. Corner RT could be C and Facia Beam right side could be C. As these beams are angled, the marking would be a great help. Finally, as the facia beam assemblies are cut at 45 degrees, they do not join perfectly. Mine did not at least. So four corner cap structures that could be placed over those 45 degree facia beam assemblies would add to a highly finished look. The existing caps do this in recognition the the roof assemblies do not match perfectly and leave a small gap. Please do not interpret these suggestions as indications that I think this is not an excellently designed product. It is incredibly looking and as far as I am concerned the best build it yourself gazebo I have seen.

I regret buying it, and now I’m stuck with this humongous object in my yard. The plastic is stuck to the metal and won’t come off. The paint underneath the plastic is peeling. Assembling it was a nightmare — we had to pay people to help us, and even then, we could never get the plastic off the metal.

I have been researching this Gazebo for quite awhile and decided to take the plunge and order it. I thought it would be a great project to tackle during the stay at home orders and it was. We just love our Gazebo. It is the perfect size for the space we needed it for. My husband and I put it together in a day and a half. We only needed help from our grown children to help raise the roof panels. The directions were easy to follow and all of the pieces were accounted for. My husband was very impressed by the quality of the cedar wood and materials. I just love how it turned out. Now just waiting on the mosquito netting to be available for purchase. Thanks Yardistry for the spectacular Gazebo!!
