Bought and built this last spring (2022) so it’s now gone thru its first CO winter. This is tougher and even more stylish than I expected! Set up takes time and several people if done yourself, but instructions are clear; there’s an app with 3d guides and vids which helped immensely, and every piece of hardware was clearly packaged and labeled. We get strong winds and this doesn’t creak or move (and we don’t have it attached to the concrete). The electrical box is icing on the cake, perfect for lighting etc. I would say if we did it over again, we probably would have paid for assembly as we’d not built anything of this magnitude prior so it took a string of weekends to build. BUT if you enjoy building things like this, and have the time, it will be worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple of months ago and it is perfect for our space! We hung lights inside it and it is our favorite place to be at night. We also love it for the shade it provides during the day. We assembled it ourselves and had the help of our neighbors when putting on the roof and it wasn't terrible. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out! I did a lot of research and ended up deciding on this one and I am so glad I did. We get a lot of rain and snow it and it is very sturdy and high quality. I highly recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was fairly easy to put together by myself. I needed help with the roof. This company thinks of everything, I love that there were extra screws as well. The cedar is nice touch and the ceiling is lofted a bit. I love it!

[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.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were so impressed with the Backyard Discovery pergola that we purchased last summer, we purchased the 14x 10 Cordova Gazebo last fall to compliment our new pool. The quality is just as nice s the pergola (even better with the thicker corner posts). The instructions we simple to follow and my husband and I assembled this together without any difficulties or confusion. The company kept us informed regarding the shipping logistics when we had questions about the delivery. The shipment arrived undamaged and complete. This gazebo is a game changer for our backyard and provides much needed relief from the Gulf Coast sun!

I've had this gazebo for about a month now and it is by far the most superior gazebo you can buy right now. The stain, wood quality, and metal materials are stunning. The heat rejection in the 90+F sun is great!!! This build is very strong and feels absolutely solid. Now the building process... first of all, delivery is super expensive but I understand why. It's VERY heavy. I didn't want to spend more so I opted to build it myself. With the help of my wife, and 4 other family members, we were able to finish it in 4 afternoons. It is a lot of work. The process is quite simple due to all the predrilled holes. But the sorting all the materials, drilling in hundreds of screws, lifting the roof up to the top... the instructions say 2 people are good but I think that's if you're a professional. Make sure you have people that are willing to dedicate time to help. BUT it is all so worth it. It's beautiful. Just make sure you get clear oil to seal the wood! I wish i had done it prior to building it (you need to do it to stay in warranty) but I realized afterwards.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gazebo is used as an extension of our Florida home. It gives us plenty of room to be outdoors even in the brightest days. I had it screened in to keep the mosquitoes out and we use it almost every day. If you are putting this unit together, separate all of the parts and put them in order. It seems a little overwhelming but systematically it works. One mistake we made was to put the roof on by section. Do not do this. The whole roof needs to be set upon the frame for easiest installation. I wish we had taken a video of us two senior citizens putting this together in the Florida summer. He's 74 and I am 66, if we can do it so can you. Our son in law adjusted the roof mistake. And it does not leak or move even in the heaviest coastal winds. In the winter I will be enclosing it and using it for a green house.

Unfortunately I do not have the gazebo up some issues that I am trying to clear up has held up the assembly. I did see this gazebo in person set up in Sams club and I fell in love with it immediately and it is so sturdy and so well designed I knew right away that i had to have it. Again I cannot take pictures or video until I have it assembled, but be rest assured that I will share many pictures and video as soon as that happens. Thank you Backyard Discovery for an amazing gazebo!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are enjoying our gazebo very much! My husband and I were able to assemble it over the course of a weekend. We did need a third person to help with one part of the wood assembly and when we had to raise the roof pieces. The wood foundation was a pretty simple and easy install. The roof was a bit harder - directions could have been a little clearer. Overall construction is solid.
