We bought this and recommend getting the install as they did a great job and it looks just like the picture! Wonderful! Was missing a couple parts and the installer made sure to order and said let them know when they are there and they would come back and add the parts. Can tell you how well everything went and we love or gazebo!!!! Sent a picture to our friend and he bought one too and had installed. He loves his too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our second gazebo purchase because we bought one for our previous home and it was so perfect that we added one to our new home. The kits are easy to assemble and are very durable which makes them an affordable option for backyard shade and protection for patio furniture. With the gazebo, we are able to spend so much more time outside!

I liked that the 6 boxes fit into a pickup truck and that nothing was damaged because everything was packaged well. It took two old guys (myself and my brother-in-law) 3 days to put it together but a couple younger guys could have done it in a day and a half. The measurements provided by Backyard were correct and it fit perfect on my new deck. We have got several compliments about this gazebo.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this last spring and were very surprised at how it's built for a kit. Took about 8 hours for three of us to assemble. Would say it was easy, but I've had a lot of experience with building and remodeling. Is a very sturdy building. Stands up to thunderstorms and has a a foot of snow on it in the last month.

Bought this from Sam’s Club a few months ago to put on our back patio. The size is perfect. The quality of the wood and the engineering is outstanding. It’s not a simple assembly, but if you’re familiar with hand tools and have a friend or 2, it can be done in a day or two.

I bought the Cordova 14x10 about a month back. My skills are electronic...I'm a handyman, but not a skilled carpenter. What was really apparent was this is a USA MADE product and the documentation was, too. It was hands down the best assembly document I've ever seen for any product. Bought it direct from Backyard Discovery...price better than other kits out there and it was perfect for my 14x12 patio (with 2' roof overhang). Some things that stood in my way of completion...1 - a lot of rainy days before I could start...2 - given the time lapse, discovered just a few slightly warped rafter boards along the way...totally useable...missing one upper post bolt and one pair of roof panel brackets for the 14' sections. Now, here's where I'll give HUGE kudos to their support. The first call was for the upper bolt missing. Not a deal breaker for time. I called and I got it two days later. However, closing in on roof panel completion...I needed the missing roof brackets and there was a threat of heavy rain in two days. The standard response would get it to me in 2-3 days. I replied that it would set me back a week due to rain...even willing to pay extra for overnight. Well...the person emailed the warehouse/manufacturing location...I had one in my hands the next day...no extra charge! THAT was service! The impressive part? Everything lined up well (I did need to drill a few offset pilot holes ion the perluns due to a few warped rafter boards...but all is just fine!). Now, at 63, I assembled all of it myself and some help with my sister-in-law (grabbing parts, holding a tape measure and moving roof panels). It took me longer than most due to high humidity an upper 80's to upper 90's heat & heavy humidity. (Not to mention rain delays.) I had a good friend and my son to help hoist the roof panels. You can raise panels with two, but I highly recommend three for the 14' sections. Here's a couple hints: Placing close to your home...keep in mind that you may not be able to push the metal roof lock-in trim from the bottom on the house-side. So...I did the two small 10' panel raises first...then, the 14' section closest to the house. Couple that with the fact that I did not install the roof hip until just before installing the last panel so it wouldn't chance getting battered moving panels into place -and- I installed the house-side metal roof panel joiner from the top-side down because the 'house got in the way being so close to it. After that, we installed the last panel...loosely bolted...then tightened in the order dictated by the manual. One more issue...tightening the roof panels. Well, this brought in the metal roof channels really close where the roof panels meet on the diagonals. So close that the metal joining strips would tend to pop out sliding them up. What to do? Well, they're already bent at an angle along the ridge going up...all I had to do was squeeze them tighter working my way up. It held really well. After completing it...we love it! (Just finished today.) Only question in my mind is the flashing at the bottom of the panels. Instructions say to install the metal panels flush to the bottom. Then, the flashing trim over the top and down. But, won't that be conducive to water rolling along the side of the roof panel lower frame? I'll be installing gutters on this, but that fact has me perplexed a bit. I'll figure it out...or, if someone has their own solution, please respond. Overall, I'll still give this a 5 based on how impressive the instructions were, accuracy of of hole & pilot locations and the beauty of it installed. Installing in the heat was taxing, but well worth the savings...even at my age! ;)

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.

This is a great gazebo but very difficult to assemble. I had 4 other guys help my and it took well over 10+ hours. Also the App is great but in some spots it dosen't allign with the printed instuctions. I highly recommend the product but I also recommend paying someone for assembly and delivery.

I bought this a surprise for my wife a few months ago. She was looking at gazebos in stores and always wanted one. I saw this gazebo and never saw anything like it before! The size, sturdiness, and with outlet! So i purchased it along with professional builder plan to have it built for her as well. She was so surprised when she came home and it was already built (only took two installers a few hours). She couldn’t believe how beautiful it looked, she told me that she has never seen anything like this in stores. Let me give you the most honest feedback…This gazebo exceeded all mine as well as her expectations! We have hosted a few family gathering and got do many compliments on it. I even referred a couple of family members to the website to purchase one because they loved it so much.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was a long process to install but all worth it. It looks so beautiful and luxurious. The wood color is stunning. Beauty does not compromise quality, it is very sturdy and well made. Our backyard looks so good with this gorgeous gazebo.
