My husband and I are newly retired and decided that this Gazebo would be our first handyman project to begin our retirement with. The Gazebo instructions ALONG with the app worked very well. We were able to put the Gazebo together in about three days. We only needed help on the fourth day, when we installed the roof panels onto the Gazebo rafters. We were very impressed with how sturdy and strong the structure is. We had looked at other gazebo kits and most of them do not have wooden rafters. We think that this Gazebo Kit is top of the line and highly recommend the purchase of this kit, you will be thrilled!!!

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 wanted to add a 'kitchen' area to our backyard pool deck. We saw the Cordova Gazebo at Sam's Club and it looked great. We ordered it and it arrived very quickly (quicker than estimated). I was able to construct the main frame and the roof segments myself and then had a friend come over to lift them into place. All the components lined up and fitted well. I added some lights strings and fitted my own Z-Wave light switches controlled by Alexa. I didn't use the supplied power outlet as it was just a power strip in a box and I wanted something more permanent and robust. I painted some electrical conduit and outlets black to match the Gazebo hardware and it looks very professional.

We purchased to include build. It all went smoothly and, in the Hill Country heat, this shaded area is an oasis poolside! Makes it very comfortable to both use the smoker and eat outside now. We are still decorating--a work in progress. Beautifully constructed, with electrical outlet and ample roofline to insure water (we need rain) sheds to the exterior. Thanks for helping we retirees to get this beauty built!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this unit just before July 4th and was able to put the unit up almost by myself. The instructions were easy to follow, all parts were properly labeled and pre drilled. If I had room I'd buy a second one

This gazebo is built like a tank. Took about 12 hours to install, but definitely worth the effort. We now have a focal point in our backyard that everyone is asking about, and could not be more excited to use it all Summer! A bit bummed it is not pre-sealed but other than that no complaints.

Great kit. All items were unpacked, sorted, and stacked for ease of finding/using when called for in the directions. The best part was the individual bags of screws, bolts, nuts, etc. that were easy to find once sorted and placed on a table for ease in finding when needed. The hardest part was pouring the concrete footers to ensure a solid anchoring of the assembly. Assembling the frame was simple and made it easy to pre-place at the footer locations to ensure everything was in its proper place. Once placed and temporarily anchored, the assembly of the roof panels was simple. You will most definitely need a minimum of two people to place the panels, but three would be better. Finishing up was easy and only required tightening all the remaining bolts and completing anchoring the assembly permanently.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this Gazebo couple months ago and we just installed it on our new pool patio. I went with Backyard after lots of research between brands and reviews. My friend had another brand and it caused him all kinds of problems to put together. I hired a buddy that has been a contractor for over 20 years. He has put together and setup other brands himself before ours and they did not go up as well as this one did. The fit and finish in his mind was fantastic. It took 2-3 people (definitely recommend) a solid 1-1/2 days to build it taking our time and verifying everything before just assuming we knew. Instructions were spot on. My buddy said it was with out a doubt the best pre-made gazebo he has ever put together besides building one himself. He said he would recommend this brand 100% unless the customer needs something specific built. It looks amazing and we cannot thank Backyard enough.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in the spring of '23. Took me a few days of working on it for an hour or two here and there to get it completely put together. Definitely a lot of parts and materials, but the assembly is pretty straight forward. I bought this gazebo as I live on top of a wide open hill in Western New York so the winds and snow are substantial. Wanted a gazebo that would last and take the weight of the snow and high winds. Going into the first winter with it so can't comment yet on the snow, but I have no concerns. This Gazebo is build very well with high quality materials. Worth every penny!
