[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This took my son and I 2.5 days to build. I had a concrete slab poured to place it on prior to the build. Follow the assembly instructions and you will be fine. We are really happy with the outcome. We live in a windy area and haven’t had any issues. Very sturdy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I give this Gazebo a five star. I put it together myself. Being 73 years it took me two weeks to do it .I feel if I can do it anyone can do it. Great instructions with great back up by internet or phone it you have any questions.

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 bought this about 5-6 months ago and it is still working great. I recently coated the legs with a urethane varnish to help protect from the sun, there was some slight fading. The legs are really the only parts in the sun alot. Overall I am happy with the purchase. I would like to see a well made adapter to mount a ceiling fan so I dont have to imagineer one.

Gazebo is very Saturday and looks great. The only downside is the assembly. The roof is a pain, you need at least two people preferably 3. The panels that go through the seams and the trump around the top is painstaking. The screws are self tapping and you have to penetrate the steel roof to attach. The roof is a collection of 6 panels each probably weighing close to 125 lbs each. It would be much easier if the company split the roof into smaller sections that would allow one person to install. Also, as a tip, when putting the roof on use the two clamps provided to clamp in place to hold panels prior to connecting with bolts. Finally, the instructions were a bit unclear regarding the t nuts and the top frame.

My husband and I have been wanting a gazebo for so long. We finally purchased one and it has been the BEST addition to our home. We host a lot of parties and family get-togethers, the gazebo brings everyone excitment when they see how well built and beautiful this structure is in our backyard. My husband and I eat dinner almost every night under our gazebo while watching the sunset. This gazebo has brought nothing but happiness into our lives. Also, this gazebo protects my two Frenchies from the sun. I LOVE THIS GAZEBO! I definitely would love having another gazebo over our hottub one day!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought online with included installation. Arrived on time in good condition. The installers promptly put it together and did a good job. Had it about a year now. Excellent quality and appearance. Couldn’t be happier with it

My husband and I purchased this gazebo and paid a couple of our son-in-laws friends to install it! They had some knowledge of assembling it as they purchased similar gazebos. It took the just over 9 hours to put it together! We are very happy with the finished product!!

We purchased this gazebo a few months ago and we are very happy with it. Everything was included that we needed to erect it. The lumber was pre-cut to the correct dimensions and the holes were all pre-drilled. Our sons helped us build it on a Saturday and we were finished by mid-afternoon. The only thing we didn't realize until after we purchased it was that we were strongly encouraged to apply a sealer to all the lumber before erecting it. While that required a little extra prep time, we're glad we did it. Other than that, everything was as we expected.

It took us a few days to put together and I am not handy at all. I was concerned about sturdiness but once it’s complete, it’s solid! I love the look of it. I would highly recommend this gazebo! All the parts were in the boxes, make sure you pre-drill the holes like it says in the instructions. Great product. Please make a mosquito net and sun screen for it Backyard!
