We took our time. We stained all wood before assembly. The long side of the roof was much easier with 3 people. Only complaint was one board was improperly drilled so I had to use another piece as a pattern to drill out the same. Overall, if you really pay attention to the instructions, you should be okay. One last thing, I fastened the outer edge trim to the underside of the roof instead of capping it over the roof panels. This way the rain and leaves would not get caught on the edge guard.

It came in five boxes complete with all hardware and special tools with great printed instructions. Also, there are 3-D instructions on the Internet, which were very easy to follow. If done by step-by-step assembly is fairly easy and putting the roof panels on you do need three people I called, the factory once to clarify an instruction very helpful people cleared up the question I had. I would recommend This pergola to anyone with some assembly skills. Very satisfied with it.

Just finished getting this Gazebo assembled and installed on my deck. Everything went well with the installation and I found all the holes were where they were suppose to be. Great job guys!

Great quality, looks awesome. We only had 2 people to build it, it took us about 18 hrs total over 2 days. Use the BILT app, it gave perfect instructions.

So far so good. Purchase this to replace a fabric gazebo that I had to take down every winter. Got tired of replacing the cover every other year. I water sealed one weekend reassembled and whatever I could in my heated garage the following weekend and with the help of my son was able to put it up in a matter of a couple of hours. The whole process is rather time consuming but everything workout very well. I saw a complaints where holes weren't lining up, but I did not have that issue. It is very beautiful. I would recommend this get a quality water sealant for a few extra bucks so you're not having to seal it every year.

This was a great purchase and addition to our outdoor space. It was a choir outing it together. Plan for the or four guys and most of a day to build. Great materials, good instructions, and everything was there... no missing pieces. Buy with confidence.

We really love this thing. It has only been together a week so far but we have spent every night outside sitting under it. The wood smells so good.

Structure itself is great but instructions to put together are marginal at best, confusing at worse. You tube has videos and i would suggest people use that instead. Took 2 days to put together and this is with 3 people that have done plenty of these. You will need 3 or more for the roof.

Heavy and sturdy, it won't go anywhere when installed correctly. Looks great on my patio. Some negatives. The roof panels are very heavy to raise. It takes 3 strong guys to get the long ones up. The seam cover between the panels will leak. The design is not totally waterproof. The gap is just covered with a thin seal that doesn't extend far enough to ensure rain doesn't migrate to the gap and drip. Don't put a TV in the gable between the panels. Make sure you put electronics under the flat of the panels. Use Red Devils to secure this to your concrete. Do not use the included anchors.

Very disappointed, I can’t believe I gave in and finally purchased it just to find that half way through the build the rest of the boards are warped. We were so excited to use it this summer but now we are contemplating taking it back down to return.
