[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!

My wife and her friend saw this gazebo at Sams Warehouse for $1600. Price was right so we ordered it right away. They let us know that Sams had ordered 6 of these and wasnt expected to come in for quite a while. So I got on to the internet to find it somewhere else. Now when I was doing this it was right before Mothers Day and this was going to be perfect for her in the backyard. In my search i found this same gazebo on your website Backyard Discovery. But at a substantually higher cost $2400. My wife didnt like it but I ordered it anyway knowing it was going to be here the following week. . Timing was perfect for her Mothers Day. I bought it and our sons came to put it together on Mothers Day. I have to say this kit was really well thought out. the instructions were so easy to follow. Even for this dum truckdriver. Thank you very much Mike

So I absolutely love the look of this gazebo. The drawback is that it took the people we hired (NOT through Sams) a week to put together and it has about 6 leaks when it rains. I think the leaks are from the installation folks and not a defect in the product.

Backyard Discovery 14’ x 10’ Cordova Gazebo Review This is a well-designed and organized kit for simple construction with minimal experience. It is packaged and labeled well. The instructions are clear except for a couple of places I’ll note below. Delivery: The order arrived in Houston about a week before the estimated delivery date but was not delivered to us until a week after the estimated delivery date. The packages were all in good condition. They are heavy to move around. Assistance & Assembly Time: I was able to do the assembly completely by myself except for two times I needed a few assistants for about ½ hour each time. [Step 7 (Attach 14-ft beams to posts with 10-ft beams attached), Step 12 (Installing roof support), and Step 30-35 (Attach roof panels).] It is a lot of bending over, moving parts, and using a drill to install connectors. I worked on it for about 5 days for about 4 hours each day. Tools: It would help if the Screw Setter H100764 was magnetic to hold screws while lining up with the holes. A hammer drill and 3/16” hammer drill bit are needed for installation on a concrete slab. I used firring strips as spacers between roof panels during construction so they could lay on top of each other during assembly. Positioning: Layout and mark final post positions. We put the gazebo next to our house with a 6” gap between the house gutter and the gazebo roof edge. This was barely enough to pass the roof section up between the gap and took some extra hands to support this during installation. It also made installing the Corner Ridge Cap in Step 40 difficult as this is intended to slide onto Ridge Cap Channel from the bottom. We used pliers to bend open the Corner Ridge Cap on one side to allow this to clip over the Ridge Cap Channel and then bend back in place as best as possible before sliding into position. Assembly Notes: Recommend doing Step 9-11 before Step 7-8 so assistants can help with Step 7 and Step 12 at the same time. I did all roof panel framing before attaching sheeting. (Step 14-18 twice, Step 22-26 twice, then Step 19-21 twice and Step 27-29 twice.) IMPORTANT NOTES: Step 20 & 28 Ridge Cap Channel Assembly – Ensure the bottom end of the channel is above the bottom roof joist to allow space for installation of the Edge Trim Corner Splice in Step 38. THIS IS NOT MENTOINED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. Step 38 Edge Trim Corner Splice Assembly – Ensure Edge Trim Corner Splice is UNDER the Ridge Cap Channel. THIS IS NOT CLEAR IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. This is needed to allow installation of the Corner Ridge Cap in Step 40.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been wanting to cover our patio f or some time. After manh years of research, we decided on the Cordova. Not only did it come in the size we needed, it can withstand snow, hail and wind up to 100mph!!!!! It also had the option for assembly, which is well worth it. Overall our Gazebo is more than we expected! We raved about it so much, that my Sister bought one too!

We bought this about 6 months ago and love it. We put an outdoor high bar table under it and have totally enjoyed sitting outside since we got the gazebo, before there was just not enough coverage just using umbrellas; the assembly was a bit pricey but well worth it.

I originally gave a very poor review of this gazebo. Upon completion I'll bump it up to 3 stars. It does look nice once assembled. Assembly is a pain especially considering extra assembly is required to save them on shipping costs. Removing blue stickers from metal was a nightmare and the large amount of 1" lumber warped in the heat. All in all assembly wasn't the worst and it looks nice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple of months ago and absolutely love it. It is just as described. I paid to have it assembled and that was worth it. It only took the guys like 3 hours, and it would have taken me like 3 days (or more) to put it together. Great for hanging out and watching the game. Plenty of space under it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Placed our gazebo on our deck instead of attaching a pergola to our full log home. It provides protection from the elements and is just what we were looking for. It appears that it will require little maintenance and withstand the elements.
