Did a lot of research before purchasing this gazebo since the market has several to choose from. But my family and I decided on this one, and so far we are very pleased with our purchased. The instructions were very easy to follow, these gazebo took me and my son 3 days to build. But to stand it up it took 4 of us but for a few minutes. The only issue I had with the gazebo was some of the wood pieces were warped and didn’t line up correctly. That’s the reason for the 4 stars but it more like 4.5 starts. But I would definitely buy more products form Backyard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gazebo is used as an extension of our Florida home. It gives us plenty of room to be outdoors even in the brightest days. I had it screened in to keep the mosquitoes out and we use it almost every day. If you are putting this unit together, separate all of the parts and put them in order. It seems a little overwhelming but systematically it works. One mistake we made was to put the roof on by section. Do not do this. The whole roof needs to be set upon the frame for easiest installation. I wish we had taken a video of us two senior citizens putting this together in the Florida summer. He's 74 and I am 66, if we can do it so can you. Our son in law adjusted the roof mistake. And it does not leak or move even in the heaviest coastal winds. In the winter I will be enclosing it and using it for a green house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this over the summer and after a couple of days of work to install (rain delay) the end result is beautiful. It’s solidly built and stands up to high wind. The 12 v outlet allowed us to install a nice light fixture in the middle. I’m considering getting another in a smaller size for our pool area.

Gazebo is very Saturday and looks great. The only downside is the assembly. The roof is a pain, you need at least two people preferably 3. The panels that go through the seams and the trump around the top is painstaking. The screws are self tapping and you have to penetrate the steel roof to attach. The roof is a collection of 6 panels each probably weighing close to 125 lbs each. It would be much easier if the company split the roof into smaller sections that would allow one person to install. Also, as a tip, when putting the roof on use the two clamps provided to clamp in place to hold panels prior to connecting with bolts. Finally, the instructions were a bit unclear regarding the t nuts and the top frame.

The assembly of the product has very little tolerance for error and field conditions. Roof panels do not overlap with wide seams. I have a concern for when it rains that water will drip through the seams. Further the fact that the entire process requires assistance of others to install is a downfall in my opinion. Assembly of the roof in four units that each require lifting is not a good idea. The units are very heavy and lifting is awkward and not safe for a 16ft section. The roof should be considered to be assembled in place. Hardware is a low grade steel and should be replaced/ upgraded in key areas such as where the roof sections combine. Overall the unit has a nice look but could benefit from another person or review assembly by a single person.

It's beautiful, we were missing a piece when we unboxed. Backyard Discovery shipped the missing piece via FedEx. It's the wrong color Backyard Discovery is re-shipping to correct color, hopefully it will be here by Friday. Assembly is costing more time and money, than we had anticipated. due to the fact that our hired handyman has to come back yet again to complete the job. Also, this item is available for pick up at our local Sam's Club.

Got a quote from a contractor for a 10x10 gazebo and was quoted $14,000+. We found this and for the price it was worth a try. There were some very slight imperfections on the wood when arrived (from shipping co.). I was able to assemble mostly everything myself. Lifting the roof panels definitely requires 3 people and ladders for each. We bought this as part of building our dream outdoor kitchen. We've had the gazebo for 9 months now through rain and wind and blasting sun, and it still looks brand new. We are very happy with the purchase and for the price you can't beat it!

So I will start with this review in regards to our first gazebo. The first one we put it together, it took about a day or so, definitely is do able with 2 people that have very little experience. I absolutely loved it we had the lights around the inside carpet down it definitely set the tone for a relaxing backyard. But, I skipped a step and own 100 percent of this. I failed to secure this monster gazebo into my stamped concrete patio and it was a costly mistake. With that being said, we loved it so much that I of course had to purchase another one. Same size, same location. The second one we put up I had paid for the company to install it. This was money WELL spent. This team of guys came in and blasted this thing up in about 5 hours. The one thing the installation company doesn’t do is secure it to the patio. (WHICH IMMEDIATELY DID). So this summer we look forward to enjoying this. I can’t stress it enough since I have purchased 2, well worth it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this gazebo about 6 months ago, and it has truly changed how I feel about my backyard. The family certainly wants to spend time outside while dad grills and even on the cold West Virginia winters we are hanging outside. The gazebo was priced well and the wood smelled beautifully when we opened the boxes. It took my husband and neighbor 3 full days to put up but it was bonding bro-time, so they took it slow while sipping beers and eating pizza. The gazebo is really heavy which is great for the wind gusts of WV, and we have mounted a fan, and some sun curtains to enjoy the time outside all year round. I 100% recommend this brand. No pieces were missing or broken and the instructions were thorough. It was a cool experience for everyone, even the neighbors come hang out in our little concrete pad of heaven.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought online with included installation. Arrived on time in good condition. The installers promptly put it together and did a good job. Had it about a year now. Excellent quality and appearance. Couldn’t be happier with it
