The end result is a really beautiful gazebo. Unfortunate my husband and I are very much less than handy and can not follow direction all that well so we had a lot of steps to redo. For people who are even remotely handy assemble should be easy. We had a point in the assembly when we realized that the gazebo was going to be too big to fit inside our screened lanai (totally my fault for measuring incompletely.). Customer service was wonderful and offered to have the boxes picked back up with no restocking fee. This says a lot about the company and their dedication to customer satisfaction. We were able to find another location to home our gazebo and look forward to getting a lot of use out of it in the years to come. I would definitely recommend this product to my friends.

All shipping and support exceeded expectations. The assembly was not too difficult and the alignment of holes between boards was amazing. On the Roof Assembly (Step 25) I would suggest modifying the 3rd tip: "Layout all roof sections to center and determine equal gaps BEFORE any screws are used." I had a false start and needed to remove screws and adjust. Would be great to see what others have done with their Gazebo. I'm now trying to figure out lights over my grill and smoker and perhaps an exhaust fan.

I’m very satisfied with my purchase. All the hardware and instructions made it very easy to assemble. The cuts are perfect fit and the quality is great. Best of all my wife and kids love it and enjoy it and I can grill anytime and my family can enjoy lounging on our free time.

Great quality! Follow the instructions and recruit a few friends. It took two days at a steady pace for two seniors. Thrilled that a few extra pieces of hardware were included “just in case”. A play structure for the grandkids might be the next purchase.

I bought this and a matching "corner pergola" las month. Both are absolutely fabulous. I did each one over a weekend with a bit of help from my college age daughter. Instructions are really good, the hardware is top notch and I couldn't be happier

Don't think twice, this is an excellent product, easy to install. I'm 62 years old and did the entire project by myself except for assistance lifting the roof. After completing the build I added a few extras. Added a full double sided back pannel and then built two cabinets beside my blackstone grill. Last was power and lights. This was an amazing product for a 19th hole 110 yard par 3 and oversized putting green.

I purchased this Gazebo a few months ago…what a beautiful and sturdy Gazebo…well worth the money…I had a handy man put it up…it definitely need two people to put this Gazebo up…I love the rustic look and cedar color…My next project is to put in a fire pit just outside the Gazebo. This Gazebo was a steal.

We absolutely love our Arcadia Gazebo. My husband and I, both in our 60s, assembled it ourselves over two days to protect the front of our house from the Arizona sun. We set it up "backwards" (with the front facing our house so it slants away from the house). Last night we had our first beautiful rain on the "tin" roof. We just love going out to sit on the porch swing, protected from the sun and the rain!

Just finished assembling this and we love it. I will be honest, the assembly is tough and there are a lot of pieces. It took a couple of days to stain/waterproof the wood - make sure to look inside the main posts as there are quite a few smaller pieces tucked in there. Once you are ready to assemble, ask some friends over. We tried this with just the two of us and it is NOT recommended. We are using this as a carport and it is so much sturdier and attractive than the metals ones we purchased in the past. If we wanted to use it as a gazebo later on, simply move out the vehicles. I dare the Nebraska winds to knock this down!!

I recently purchased the 14x12 Arcadia Gazebo and couldn’t be happier—it’s not only beautiful but incredibly sturdy and well-built. At 67, I assembled it myself with just a couple of simple braces I made, which speaks to how user-friendly it is. I was so impressed that I bought the 12x9.5 Arcadia to expand my patio setup. For anyone in the Midwest, especially Ohio, this is the perfect solution. The wind rating and snow load are exactly what we need for our harsh winters. I compared it to the options at my local big box stores, but they couldn’t match the strength and specifications required for our climate. Backyard Discovery delivered exactly what I needed—highly recommend!
