I assembled the gazebo my self in about four days. The only help I required was from a friend installing the roof panels. I laid all parts out before hand and took inventory. Discovered I was a rafter board short. Called customer service, and was pleasantly surprised how easily the matter was resolved. Within 48 hours the missing board was delivered to my house. I enjoyed putting the gazebo up. Follow the instructions, very user friendly, and don't skip ahead . And do lay everything out before hand, makes it so much easier. Everything is marked.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this at the beginning of the season and it was pretty easy to put together. Follow the instructions, get a friend to lift the two larger roof panels in place and don’t forget you have the included clamps which are an absolute LIFE SAVER. Overall this is a very heavy and very sturdy gazebo…

We just put this up a few days ago. It is beautiful, however we struggled getting the forth part of the rough on (possibly user error). We did end up getting it attached just not perfectly. We could not get the more decorative pieces on at the end. I do love it though. It is a great purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple of months ago and it is perfect for our space! We hung lights inside it and it is our favorite place to be at night. We also love it for the shade it provides during the day. We assembled it ourselves and had the help of our neighbors when putting on the roof and it wasn't terrible. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out! I did a lot of research and ended up deciding on this one and I am so glad I did. We get a lot of rain and snow it and it is very sturdy and high quality. I highly recommend it!

I purchased this gazebo, then realized we needed something bigger. So,instead of sending it back, we order a 2nd one. We placed them side by side. They look great! We’re very pleased and receive lots of compliments on them. Wish we had done this years ago! I do recommend hiring someone to assemble it.

We bought this gazebo a few months ago and had it assembled. We are very happy with it and have received a lot of compliments. It is sturdy and looks great. We stained it with a transparent stain and wiring for a ceiling fan and lights. We spend a lot of time on the patio now and love our new setup!

The anchors could be improved as they were a pain to get in , I pre- drilled the Concrete and still had a problem with them. You should go with different ones as these never work out well. Overall I would highly recommend Backyard Discovery to everyone. Best Instructions ever. I want to thank you for all your help.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This took us 4months to complete by ourselves because we only had help on weekends from family it took 3-4 people to put together so if I had it to do again I'd pay to have it assembled by a contractor It still isn't finished because we need to put the trim on

I bought this because of the great reviews I read, all were good , now I am here to say that for the price of this pergola, I was highly disappointed that the posts are hollow and they used 2 pieces of wood GLUED together to make each side. Wow, mine sat outside until I got it put up, and every post started separating. I called and told them and they sent more posts, the bottom they put a solid piece in the opening to make it look solid but other end is wide open! I am very disappointed in the quality of this product, beware

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got my gazebo installed last summer and I am in love with it. It is my favorite spot to sit and relax with my girlfriend and my dog and it compliments the patio furniture well. I may get the covered grill portion next!
