Looks great when finished! Not sure how people are putting this together with just two. Two of us were able to get the posts up and connected, but when it came to the roof, we needed at least three so that two could lift the 14' panel on and one to bolt in place. Definitely recommend three overall.

This gazebo is well built. The instructions are fairly easy to understand. There is also an app that walks you through, literally every step. I had one question so I called the number on the box. The call was answered right away by an English speaking man that actually sounded like he had put one together before. I almost knocked off one star due to the fact it takes way longer than 10 hours. We had 25 (ish) hours into it. The need for a third person didn't arrive until it was time to put on the roof panels. We absolutely would recommend this gazebo. Not sure what the winter will bring?

We ordered this after deciding to add a 20x20 concrete pad out back to get us away from the house and have an outdoor room. It went together easy enough. Its not an exact science and it does help to have an additional person for the wood construction and yet another person to get the roof sections installed. Its gorgeous and we love being outside. We have started adding more concrete for an outdoor kitchen right next to it.

shipping went well they were able to unload the gazebo onto my trailer so I could take it to my cottage to put it up. For the most part the instructions for assembly were clear with a couple of minor exceptions. It did take two of us way more than the 12 hours stated in the directions (closer to 30 hours) but it went quicker as time went on. Overall a good experience to build and it looks great finished.

All the boxes came very quickly and had no damage. Assembly was straight forward and the instructions were clear. I had one issue and Backyard sent a new part within 3 days,. Great customer service! The metal roof panels were slightly bigger than the instructions stated, but everything went together well. Pay attention to the instructions that say you need 3 people for lifting up the roof. The gazebo looks beautiful!

So glad we purchased this gazebo. It was a challenge to assemble but everything was clear between the paper instructions and the Bilt app. Using both helped us confirm a few tricky assemblies with the roof panels. We did it with two people until the roof panels went up. Four is just right. Having several ladders was ideal. Best to watch the video and sort out the hardware and lumber by number before you plan to do the build. It turned out beautiful, smells wonderfully of cedar, and we began using it immediately. Two trim pieces had some plastic packing melted on them that we couldn’t remove. I emailed customer service and they were replaced immediately. Shipped within days. No regrets here. Highly recommend!

Follow the instructions very carefully. Have all required tools and an organized assembly area. Have at least 3 adults for placing roofing sections in place. The gazebo is awesome. We have had it up for a week and spend every night enjoying our new peaceful place in our backyard. I highly recommend this product.

I'm really happy with the gazebo. I hired a friend to put it together. Kudos to any homeowners who can do the installation themselves for the gazebo. Probably pergolas are easier. It looks so nice. I look forward to going outside each day to spend time sitting in it.

I bought this 16x12 gazebo about a month ago. Did take a few weeks to get together due to traveling for work but with 3 handy people can be done in a day or 2. Quality materials and instructions are well done if you don’t use the app. Definitely recommend there products!

Didn't realize actually how big this was and wanted to put on my deck. Ordered it and my son and husband had to assemble it. They did some complaining about how long it was going to take, but the end result was worth it. I love it. I have wanted one forever. They did struggle with the roof as it took three strong men to lift. They didn't want me to show family how good it turned out because they don't want to assemble another one!
