This is the best labeled well built product I’ve come across it took a little longer than instructions said but still not bad for someone with a little help pick a couple of good weather days lay it all out use the BILT app and you will have no problem. Don’t worry it will tighten up and go together in the end just pay attention you have all pieces turned the right way when constructing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this on Sams club website took a few weeks to get delivered. Took us a week to put together working on it in the evenings after work. It takes at least 3 adults to put on the roof. Very happy with the end product.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love our new gazebo. It is well built and roomy. We use it during summer for family get togethers or just sit and relax in. It is spacious and comfortable and with the breeze coming in it is just wonderful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased a few months ago and have been very pleased, assembly went a lot faster than expected and the final product is very well built and great addition to our backyard. Would recommend to anyone looking for a gazebo.

Just finished constructing the Backyard 16x12 gazebo. I found the design to be very good, the quality to be excellent with high quality cedar and metal roofing material. I now understand why it has a 100mph wind rating. Assembly instructions were easy to read, and I really appreciated the ability to pre-assemble the roof sections on the ground by myself prior to recruiting help for the final assembly, which took less than half a day! You get what your pay for!

I spent countless hours researching gazebos. I searched all over for a very high quality gazebo that would last a long time and that looked great on the new patio I just installed. I stumbled on this gazebo on display at a store by me and I was really impressed with how well the structure was made. Even though it is a dark walnut stain, it had an ever-so-slight hue of red color on a couple of the posts while my wife and I were looking at it in the store. Also, we were looking for something that had a black roof as opposed to a dark brown. So my wife and I decided to keep looking for another option. We looked at other brands which was aesthetically exactly what we were looking for (natural light wood tone with black roof). However, the quality was no where near this. From the max snow load to the wind certification of 100mph, and the impressive quality of the steel roof and cedar, there really was no competition. As you can see from the pictures, there is no red hue at all and it really looks awesome against the gray paving stones I have. CONS: There was a couple nicks and scratches, as well as some waviness in the roof. Also, it comes with screws to bolt into the ground, which is an optional step. The screws to anchor it to the ground were not as high quality as the rest of the structure, so I bought concrete screw anchors (1/4” DIA. x1-3/4” L). They worked out great. Lastly, I love the electric hookup, but the cord was a little short for where we needed it to go by a foot or two. It would be great if the cord length could be adjusted. There are workarounds for this like placing the electric panel lower, so it’s not the end of the world. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wonderful gazabo. Exceptional craftsmanship and instructions for assembly with the BILT app made this a no-brainer. We did have someone assemble for us; however, no issues were noted. We loved this product so much, we purchased another for our pool, and the large grill gazebo. Should the need arise, I will not hesitate to purchase this product again for other areas. Don't hesitate, buy it. In my opinion, you won't be sorry!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice looking gazebo! I built the whole project myself using only the instructions supplied. I did download the video, but the instructions were good enough to complete the project. The project is forgiving enough that you don't have to be exact on your measurements or squareness, but the closet you are, the easier it will go together for you. I poured four concrete pads for the legs and got those nice and level and I made them 24 inches square and that have me plenty of room to make adjustments to the awareness of the base once I started the assembly of all the component pieces. I would recommend at least two helpers when putting the roof pieces up because they were too awkward for me to get them in place by myself. My only complaint is that one piece of structure was damaged by a tomorrow fork, but it turned out to be hidden once the project was completed and I didn't have to wait on getting a replacement part. Overall, great looking gazebo at a fair price! I'm glad it is finished and we can enjoy it. It took me about a month to finish it from sight prep to completion, but I did work alone on 95% of it, so a helper would save you a lot of time.

It was a lot of work to assemble. Me and my wife did all of the assembly. We stained and sealed it. I hired some help to lift the roof up. I am 68 and my wife is 64. We took our time and got her done. I think if I were to do it again I would have it assembled.
