We bought this gazebo last summer and it made it through a Wisconsin winter with no problems. Added some lights and a ceiling fan and it is our favorite spot to hang out. Assembly was a bit of a project and required 2 people but it was no more than expected given the size and weight of the gazebo. All pieces were accounted for and it went together quickly. I have no doubt this gazebo is going to last us years. I can't wait to finish the deck and railings in the same beautiful dark walnut stain, which is fairly easy to match.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] MY wife and i had a poorly constructed pergola over an aging deck when we bought our home 3.5 years ago. We decided to have the deck replaced and found this Cordova gazebo would be perfect for shade. The hip roof design gives it a more premium look. WE also love the power box with 3 ac outlets and 3 USB power ports. Although we haven't had the opportunity to use it much due to weather but the quality of materials is outstanding, especially for a kit.

The addition of the 14 x10 Cordova Gazebo to our back deck has been an outstanding addition to our backyard. It has given us living space on our back deck that we never had. The purchase, installation, quality and overall experience with Backyard Discovery has been a pleasure. Recommend them highly.

Bought the gazebo last spring and enjoyed it all summer. Fast forward to spring 2025 and a EF2s tornado came through. Uprooted all our large oak and hickory trees but our gazebo stood tall and strong. Not a scratch. I can't reccommend this product enough.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Added a 16X30 deck in the back yard, and then topped it off with the 14x10 Gazebo. Took a weekend with a couple of friends to put together but very happy with this. Added an outdoor fan and light and makes for a great place to get out of the sun and relax. Would buy Backyard Discovery products again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this Gazebo to cover my hot tub. The Gazebo looks great and I have received several compliments on it. The wife loves bot the look and the additional hot tub use with rain and cold (surrounded with curtains in cold weather). Instructions were fairly clear and it was more or less easy to put together with only a little bit of confusion or potential misalignment of pieces. The only assistance I required was lifting of the roof panels in place, with the 14' sections requiring 3 people. The only real problem I had was that a few cement anchors snapped while attaching to the concrete columns even with a impact driver....bought a new set from Lowes that were a little thicker to properly secure. I did have to slightly modify by cutting about a foot from 2 pillars as the area is on a slight hill. My neighbors that helped with the roof panels, were pretty impressed by the quality of the gazebo. They could see how sturdy the gazebo was, how the pieces were fit together close up, the weight of the roof, etc. basically the things you don't see from far off looking in someone else's back yard. I do not normally submit reviews, but there was a chance to win...so that is why incentivized review is marked, but everything I am saying is true, I am just lazy :) This is a great product and I am very happy to have purchased.

We just built two Backyard Discovery structures and we absolutely love them! The instructions were very clear for both, especially the emphasis on critical steps that would terribly difficult later on if missed. Some of the online reviewers, who praised your products and were quite detailed, recommended treating all of the pieces before assembly. We did so. Yes, it added some time to the project. But we want this to last for a very long time and consider that extra investment of our time to be worth it. I am not sure if you want to mention such an undertaking or not. Perhaps if you had been doing some studies and could offer some insight? In the meantime, we'll have to see how well Olympic Transparent Waterguard works over the years.

We purchased this in 2022 and I assembled it in the late summer. It has proven to be a focal point for the family as we can still sit outside in all conditions rain or shine. It would be a lot easier to put together with more than one person but it can be done. The Gazebo was well made just follow the instructions and use the bilt app for added clarity.

happy that I bought this a month ago. Just need to see how it does when it rains. Has been able to do very well with the winds. The 4 ridge pieces should hold but we will see with time. The quality of the material was good but had problems with some of the pieces being under/over length. some of the pieces were warped. Had a delay on one of the 12' roof panels that cost me some time to erect and money for a worker that came out of town. All in all once I received the right size pieces the hole thing when up without a problem.

We are very please with this product. We live in a very high wind area, and I was sick of replacing umbrellas every year. The style blends well with our home, and provides great shade for summer dining in the terrace. We hired people to assemble it, and they assured us this was much higher quality than they were used to assembling. Highly recommend!
