I've had this gazebo for about a month now and it is by far the most superior gazebo you can buy right now. The stain, wood quality, and metal materials are stunning. The heat rejection in the 90+F sun is great!!! This build is very strong and feels absolutely solid. Now the building process... first of all, delivery is super expensive but I understand why. It's VERY heavy. I didn't want to spend more so I opted to build it myself. With the help of my wife, and 4 other family members, we were able to finish it in 4 afternoons. It is a lot of work. The process is quite simple due to all the predrilled holes. But the sorting all the materials, drilling in hundreds of screws, lifting the roof up to the top... the instructions say 2 people are good but I think that's if you're a professional. Make sure you have people that are willing to dedicate time to help. BUT it is all so worth it. It's beautiful. Just make sure you get clear oil to seal the wood! I wish i had done it prior to building it (you need to do it to stay in warranty) but I realized afterwards.

I bought this a few weeks ago and we are in love with it. Our back deck is all sun and it is too hot to spend time out there. We bought a few cheaper quality gazebos that didn’t last and decided to get a high quality one this year. We were highly impressed on the quality. Delivery updates were provided and it was delivered on time. The delivery persons were courteous and handled everything professionally. The directions are very clear, the parts are well labeled, extra screws are provided if you drop or lose one and it was overall easy to put together. We were concerned about putting on the roof pieces, that they would be too heavy-but they were not. My husband and I were able to lift them into place easily. We needed to contact the company regarding an error my husband made with the screws. Customer service was great and they put the screws in the mail promptly. This is a company that stands behind their product!! I would recommend this product to anyone.

We bought the 14x10 Cordova gazebo. From purchase, to delivery, to resolution of a broken piece in shipment…customer service was excellent. In fact, it reminds me of the “good ole days”, when you were actually able to speak with a live person by phone who cared, resolve the issue or provided info and after the call, made sure that what was promised actually happened. The shipment comprised of 6 boxes, all well packed and contents marked. The delivery team (three guys and a truck) went out of their way to accommodate delivery up a steep driveway to the house. Now, we decided to tackle this project ourselves. For two folks in the mid 60’s, we took our time and followed both the instructions in the manual, but mostly relied on the online video, which was excellent. The only challenges were…placement of the four roof panel onto the structure. Even with 3 men, it was a challenge. No way, two people could have done it. The second challenge was that while most all of the pre-drilled holes lined up, the sawdust residue inside the holes prevented a clean installation of the structure hardware. We ran a drill bit thru the holes as we went. After installation of the power port, we decided to go ahead and install a ceiling fan. Are we happy? You bet we are! From start to finish, this is a first class company to do business with. If you don’t have the time to go thru the process step by step, or don’t care to read and follow the instructions (which will take you longer to complete), then purchase the professional installation package. But, if you are like us and have lots of free uninterrupted time, this is a fun project to tackle together. Please look at our photos!

We installed this towards the end of the season so we did not hook up the electric or the lights we purchased. There wasn't a lot of opportunity to use the gazebo before the weather turned cold but we were very pleased with the brief time we did get to use it. We had it installed by a local service and there is a small leak coming through the roof which is probably more of an installation issue than a product issue. Hopefully it's an easy fix. We are looking forward to enjoying the shade it will provide on our deck. It looks great and is very attractive.

[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.

My husband took about a week to build this largely by himself, at a very easy pace! He is 68 yrs old . It has been a truly wonderful addition to the garden house at an unbelievable price! One of our posts had a mar that happened in shipping, in about 3 days a brand new one showed up! Customer service is a dream! It deserves 6 ⭐'s!!

After looking at this gazebo for a long time, we finally made the purchase and love it! It did take us longer than 2 days, but we were not in a hurry, took our time and made sure we had all pieces put together correctly. We highly recommend to read the printed directions and to watch the videos. Use the specifically coded boards and hardware that are listed in the directions and everything should work and come together. To install roof panels, definitely need a minimum of 3 strong men. We did have a couple of pieces that were damaged in shipment and had to be replaced, with one being a main column. We called customer service and they shipped both pieces in a very timely fashion (also we were within the 30 day warranty). It is well worth the time and money we invested. Now we’re ready to enjoy and share great times with friends and family.

We got ours about 5 months ago and our whole backyard is transformed.! We have an outdoor kitchen under the gazebo and have been using it non-stop! The cypress is so pretty and all of the little details make it worth every penny. We love this gazebo and highly recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I previously had no shade in my yard and in CA it gets so hot that my yard was unbearable in the summer. I could not be happier with my Gazebo purchase! It’s sturdy, looks fantastic, was fairly easy to put together, now we can actually sit outside and enjoy our yard without burning!

We purchased the 14x10' gazebo in 2021 and assembled it over Memorial Day weekend. Wisconsin can provide some challenging weather and so far the Gazebo has withstood it well. We added a bar, lights, 2 TV's and a ceiling fan. It is our oasis in Milwaukee.
