Outstanding engineering of product, was able to assemble on my own with help to join posts & lift roof. All pieces accounted for and appreciated extra hardware on fasteners etc. Labelling of parts could have been better as part number was difficult to read where it had been stamped. Related to marketing of the assembly service, was not made aware of the 6' required prior to purchase so had to cancel that service and install myself. Take your time if you assemble yourself, it is possible, just need to follow the written instructions and refer to the Bilt guide.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with the construction of this gazebo. When all the pieces were put together, I had a few neighbors help put those pieces together. Very sturdy and ready for all the abuse Iowa weather will throw at it.

I bought this kit about a month ago. 5 boxes with the heaviest around 200lbs. No parts were missing after unpacking. Everything was labeled well. Pretty straightforward and detailed instructions. Takes 2 people about 2 days install. Tips: sort and put in order all of the wood and same with the hardware by number. I placed my gazebo on a paver patio so I had to remove a few pavers to place 4 footers 12" round and 32" deep then reinstalled pavers. Also when you installed the footers, use the Sampson post plates instead of what they give you. This will give you a little leeway or ability to adjust. Don't even go to forward until your post are absolutely square and level. Hardest part of the job is peeling the shri k wrap off the metal panels, miserable tedious job. Looks beautiful next to the pool area and I bought a 1 x 6x8 cedar board and cut pieces to accent the pole bottoms.to.not see post brackets. SUPER well made product but takes some time to do it right. Also don't right and get a gallon of seal once and coat each cedar board. Also it doesnt say it anywhere but this gazebo is ve ted at the top too. Good luck and worth it when done!

I purchased this back in March and got it last Wednesday. I completed it today ,with everyone trying to go cheap on their product I was very impressed with the quality of the material. The instructions are very easy to follow I laid out the material as instructed and everything went smoothly.The only thing I needed help on was installing the roof pieces.I was only short 14 1/4 flat washers which is impressive considering the number of pieces with this product. I called and they are sending me some flat washers, I went to the hardware store and got some and painted them black I. Order to complete it today the person I spoke with was very knowledgeable and courteous.

We got delivery in October and enjoyed it from the first day it was completed. My son, son-in-law, and a friend put it together. The parts are well marked making the build much easier than expected. Cedar is good quality making the Back Yard Discovery Gazebo a beautiful addition to our property. The only drawback is winter! 🥶 Can’t wait until spring so we can get back to enjoying our Back Yard Discovery Gazebo!

Nice precut unit they have it figured out very well, if you build it yourself pay a lot of attention to the instruction as they are written. When they show you those high lighted instruction in red don't blow them off it will hurt you at the final step. Customer service was very helpful had a few pieces that had warps and they sent new ones right away. We bought a 12x20 and it has a lot of parts and big panels so have at least 3 to 4 people it sure makes it easy. We give it a 4 star because they have no 4.5 can't give it a 5 some of the instruction can be a little bit of a head scratcher and the film on the trim is super hard to get off so start early on working it off. All in all very happy with Gazebo it will surely be enjoyed by the family, material is good quality and packaging was very professional.

The gazebo is beyond our expectations. My husband easily put it together over a weekend and only needed a few friends to help when it came time to “raise the roof.” Between the printed instructions and the app called “Bilt” he didn’t have any trouble at all. It is a great space for our large family to relax in the shade or to listen to the rain on the metal roof. We love our gazebo. It’s well worth it.

This definitely is alot of work. it says it takes 3 people 10 hrs. I'd say 2 & both should have tools. it's not difficult to build. I did most of it myself (I'm a 45 yr old woman) with help from my son & his friend with the roof. the only negative I have is the clamp that it comes with is not strong enough & the one we received was broken. overall I love the gazebo & have been enjoying it

My Cordova Gazebo is such an added space. My family loves the leisure pleasure of the Cordova. It has added so much joy and beauty to out backyard. Guest want to get one for their entertainment pleasure. I would definitely purchase again. Very sturdy and looks beautiful.

happy that I bought this a month ago. Just need to see how it does when it rains. Has been able to do very well with the winds. The 4 ridge pieces should hold but we will see with time. The quality of the material was good but had problems with some of the pieces being under/over length. some of the pieces were warped. Had a delay on one of the 12' roof panels that cost me some time to erect and money for a worker that came out of town. All in all once I received the right size pieces the hole thing when up without a problem.
