Love my Grill Gazebo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this grill gazebo and it took a little to put it together, but once we finished it looks amazing. You definitely need at least 2 people to assemble, but honestly it’s not bad and the instructions are superb. The quality of all the backyard discovery products are superb, and look amazing!!
Beautiful gazebo, quality materials!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased this gazebo that has unquestionably earned a 5-star rating from me. The sheer beauty of this gazebo is the first thing that catches your eye. Crafted from high-quality materials, it stands out as a stylish addition to my outdoor space. The construction process was a breeze, thanks to clear instructions and the inclusion of all necessary, high-quality parts. Durability is a key feature of this gazebo. It has admirably withstood high winds, a testament to its sturdy design and construction. Living in Michigan, I'm optimistic about its ability to handle the heavy snowfalls we often experience. Though it's yet to face this challenge, its performance so far gives me confidence in its resilience. The gazebo has become an essential part of our outdoor experience, particularly when enjoying our hot tub. It offers excellent protection from the elements, allowing us to relax and unwind without worrying about the weather. Its robust construction doesn't compromise on aesthetics, making it a delightful addition that enhances the overall ambience. If you're looking for a gazebo that combines beauty, durability, and functionality, this is the one to go for. It's a fantastic investment for anyone wanting to add a touch of elegance and practicality to their outdoor living space.
Couldn’t be happier
My wife and I have wanted a gazebo for the longest time and I’m so glad we decided to pull the trigger. We love to have people over and this gazebo really makes our backyard a great place to relax and enjoy drinks with friends. We have received nothing but compliments from everyone and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Nice addition, decent quality
The gazebo came with all material required for assembly. My wife and I assembled it in a couple days without too much difficulty. The wood is very light and the posts are hollow, but the assembled product is sturdy. We already have some dark spots on the wood after 7 months, so it looks like sanding and staining will be an annual recurring maintenance at the very least. Overall we are satisfied with this product.
Just follow the steps
This 20x20 carport kit arrived in 11 boxes. When we opened them, there was hundreds of boards and several hundred bolts, nuts, screws, washers and brackets. This could all be intimidating! But, my wife (age 71) and I (age 75), sorted out the lumber and applied an outdoor stain to all of the pieces. We also sorted out the hardware. Luckily, my 75th birthday party coincided with the need to erect the nine vertical posts, so we had help. You really do need extra people for this step. After that, it was all on my wife and I. Took us about three days to finish, working short days because of the heat. A few things to note: Every drilled hole was exactly in the right place. However, on some occasions, boards had to be flopped to align the holes, otherwise you'd think the holes were drilled in the wrong spots. Try not to leave the untreated boards out in the blazing sun. They will twist. Be careful on opening the bags of hardware to keep all of the pieces in their bags, and to be able to read the numbers on the ripped-open bags. You cannot spend too much time squaring the roof. We must have measured it 20-25 times as we went along, before putting up the metal panels, as each time we worked on plumbing the posts and installing the rafters required a slight adjustment. As it was, we were 1/4 inch off, and that 1/4 inch did show up when we put on the metal panels. We installed this carport onto a concrete barn floor laid about 100 years ago. They made concrete tough in those days. Several of the screws we drilled into the concrete snapped off just as they were getting tight. (This also happened with concrete screws we bought at Home Depot, so not necessarily the result of low quality screws by the company.) While the instructions say not to get on the roof, unless you have long, long arms, you do have to either sit on the roof beams or lean way over to screw in the metal roofing panels. But I never felt any weakness from the structure when doing so. Oh, I was lucky and had a dental procedure this summer which has limited my eating. Consequently, I lost about 20 pounds. You need to be lean to fit through the holes between rafters in order screw in the panels from above. By following the instructions (and reading ahead a few pages) this project was very do-able for us. It turned out so beautiful that even our neighbor, who is a building contractor and perfectionist, has complimented us. It does the job of keeping our car and other vehicles dry and is a wonderful addition. We would recommend this carport.
Very nice patio addition
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this to be able to grill all year under cover. I live in far northern New York and needed something to keep the snow off of me and the grill. Has good snow load, was straight forward to assemble and looks good with our Cordova gazebo.
Great Gazebo!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this gazebo about a month ago and love the way it increases functionality of our deck! It was a bit tough for us to set up by ourselves, being in our 60’s, but we managed, and now we are just thrilled! Great to sit under for morning coffee, lunch, or reading. Wood is beautiful, and the convenience of electricity is nice.
Love my new gazebo
Purchased this unit on a Saturday morning, by Sunday afternoon I had been notified it was already in transit, Monday morning I was notified it was in town, and by Wednesday afternoon it was in my driveway. Never got notified it was being delivered, it just showed up. I was able to assemble and get it completed in 20 hrs. including staining and protecting the woodwork, I would highly recommend sorting, inventorying, staining and waterproofing before you start assembly, assembly was not difficult, however it requires you to VERY CLOSELY look and follow the instructions or you're going to screw up. The quality of the wood was very good, all the holes and hardware lined up and went smooth, you're going to need at least 3 people to stand it up (will need them for a couple hours). My only complaints are the crappy anchors they send for the concrete are terrible (I opted to get some real red head concrete anchors instead) and the metal roofing doesn't extend past the drip edge far enough to work very well (1/4" as per instructions). I already have a spot developing on one of the main posts where the wood split a little due to an imperfection in the grain and is starting to swell up some after a good rain, it was stained and water sealed with 2 coats prior, we will see how it goes and maybe need to warranty that post down the road if it continues to get worse. I am likely to purchase another one to build an outdoor kitchen under if this proves to hold up well
Love my new Grill Gazebo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few months ago to replace my old canvas BBQ cover. The installation was very straight forward with great step by step instructions. Everything about the gazebo is of the highest quality, I expect this to last a long time. I added a permanent back for privacy and weather protection and also added removable sides to protect from the cold and snow here in Colorado during the winter; these will be removed for the summer. Just a great product overall and now I can grill in any kind of weather and stay dry and warm.
Fantastic!
I opted for this size gazebo because it is just small enough to not require a permit in our municipality. The quality of construction is outstanding and it very, very solid. We paid for the installation at the time of ordering. The guys were quick and efficient and did in 2-3 hours what would have likely taken me 2-3 days! The only thing to be aware of is that the packages where delivered to our driveway and where EXTREMELY heavy to move to a more secure location while we waited for our install appointment. Plan on having some very strong people around to move them!
