We lost our first gazebo (soft-top) to the harsh winters in the northeast, and knew we needed something better. Luckily, this seems to fit the bill nicely. Snow load ratings are one of the best around in the "kit" category, and the price was extremely reasonable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a month ago amazingly it was still standing after the storm Everything was scattered all over /patio furniture, I’m so happy that backyard discovery was the only sign shining in the dark yard and was still standing my neighbors couldn’t wait to ask me where did I get it I’m truly impressed even my umbrella was knocked over 80lbs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are so happy with our gazebo for our backyard. It made our backyard look complete! We added lights, a fan & misters to enjoy the beautiful Arizona weather. Perfect for additional shade & coverage. The gazebo is sturdy, beautiful & amazing quality! It’s the first thing people notice when coming into our backyard.

After seeing what a great addition my sister had added to her home, it was a no brainer. I bought the exact Gazebo to add to my patio which was the 14-10 Cardova. Like my sister I plan to add a Hot Tub to complete this addition. I would highly recommend this or any ther product Backyard Discovery has available. The price, quality and setup are all 5 stars….

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I assembled this by myself, with the exception of lifting the finished roof panels up at the final stage. It was a few hours a day, for 4-5 days to get the job done, and the instructions were very clear. There was an appropriate amount of extra fasteners provided - if you drop a washer or two, it's ok - there are a few extra. The finished product looks great, and has been a great addition to our new back patio and fireplace.

We love the Gazebo design. Everyone that sees it says the same thing! They love it. The electrical box makes it easy to add lighting for special occasions. Provide shade for a quick lunch at the picnic table or a comfortable place to cook outdoors in the rain. The quality and design is excellent. Would highly recommend.

So I will start with this review in regards to our first gazebo. The first one we put it together, it took about a day or so, definitely is do able with 2 people that have very little experience. I absolutely loved it we had the lights around the inside carpet down it definitely set the tone for a relaxing backyard. But, I skipped a step and own 100 percent of this. I failed to secure this monster gazebo into my stamped concrete patio and it was a costly mistake. With that being said, we loved it so much that I of course had to purchase another one. Same size, same location. The second one we put up I had paid for the company to install it. This was money WELL spent. This team of guys came in and blasted this thing up in about 5 hours. The one thing the installation company doesn’t do is secure it to the patio. (WHICH IMMEDIATELY DID). So this summer we look forward to enjoying this. I can’t stress it enough since I have purchased 2, well worth it!!

I spent countless hours researching gazebos. I searched all over for a very high quality gazebo that would last a long time and that looked great on the new patio I just installed. I stumbled on this gazebo on display at a store by me and I was really impressed with how well the structure was made. Even though it is a dark walnut stain, it had an ever-so-slight hue of red color on a couple of the posts while my wife and I were looking at it in the store. Also, we were looking for something that had a black roof as opposed to a dark brown. So my wife and I decided to keep looking for another option. We looked at other brands which was aesthetically exactly what we were looking for (natural light wood tone with black roof). However, the quality was no where near this. From the max snow load to the wind certification of 100mph, and the impressive quality of the steel roof and cedar, there really was no competition. As you can see from the pictures, there is no red hue at all and it really looks awesome against the gray paving stones I have. CONS: There was a couple nicks and scratches, as well as some waviness in the roof. Also, it comes with screws to bolt into the ground, which is an optional step. The screws to anchor it to the ground were not as high quality as the rest of the structure, so I bought concrete screw anchors (1/4” DIA. x1-3/4” L). They worked out great. Lastly, I love the electric hookup, but the cord was a little short for where we needed it to go by a foot or two. It would be great if the cord length could be adjusted. There are workarounds for this like placing the electric panel lower, so it’s not the end of the world. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this over the summer, took us a while to put it together since there was a lot of pieces and we would work on it after work. But after we finally got it all together, it was perfect ! We get so many compliments on it !
