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.] We live in South Carolina on the coast so we needed a shelter that sould withstand hurricane winds. Backyard Discovery was the only company that offered us a choice that fit our needs and price point. When constructing the gazebo I found that you can put it together a little differently than the instructions and still get great results, especially on the roof parts. for the most part it was a one person job. DO NOT try to install the roof panels without help. Preferrably three strong men. As you can see by the pictures, the end product is great. We love the way it turned out and it has been a pleasure to use. We added gutters because it was close to the house and we wanted to have a way to get to it without getting wet. It worked out better than we exp[ected. Overall it's a good value. It does take some expertise to put together, but a handy person can do it.

This Gazebo is engineered well, packaged great and if you follow the written instructions you will not have a problem. Now with that said, please put the 10 hours of intermediate assembly time out of your head, it takes much more that that. I consider myself advanced when it comes to assembly of something like this and other than needing help to raise the roof panels and adding the side trim I built it myself and I am 64. The roof panel install took 1 1/2 hours with three people and you will need that many in my opinion. Follow all the tips and instructions in the manual. I really recommend spending the time to open every box and remove everything. Keep all the hardware in their bags so you can reference the part number. Organize the wood, hardware and other misc. parts. Regarding the kit I received, nothing was broken or missing. If you are following the instructions everything fits together as intended. If you are finding yourself wanting to rework something you are probably building it wrong. All bolt locations and pilot holes were where they should be. I built this Gazebo on a new paver patio. The 4 x 4's shown in the picture were squared and spanned using the drawing in the manual to support the Gazebo and are buried in concrete 30" down. I did not want to anchor the Gazebo to the pavers or pour separate slabs but instead wanted to use Lag Bolts through the Gazebo columns which I knew were hollow into the 4 x 4's. Again in my opinion this how I wanted to support lateral forces and wind load. When you first open all the boxes and see all the parts the project looks overwhelming. But in truth it's not and if you take your time you will be happy with the build. This is a very robust, well designed and manufactured product that in no way looks cheap sitting on your patio.

Bought this 2 month's ago. Looks well built and the instructions are decent. The ap with 3d helps alot. The only things that would help are better markings on hardware bags(not black). And the boards that are have holes that should down to be labeled as lower/upper.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love our new gazebo. It is well built and roomy. We use it during summer for family get togethers or just sit and relax in. It is spacious and comfortable and with the breeze coming in it is just wonderful.

This gazebo is well engineered and awesome for our patio in Florida. There are a lot of parts and can be a bit overwhelming at the beginning but follow the instructions to the tee and it all comes together nicely. Allow plenty of room to work and put all your hardware on a big table. Being in Florida I did add additional support by installing 4x4x8 post with 30" in concrete and used 5" lag bolts at the bottom and at 5' high.

This piece is beautiful. The style brings any start or addition to what you are trying to achieve with your backyard oasis. Very modern, the coloring of the beautiful wood really accents my home. Was easy to put together and my family thanks you for having something so beautiful and affordable for all to enjoy! Come on over!

I bought this to add to our concrete patio by our pool, have had so many compliments after hosting 2 party’s so far. The shade is perfect for most of the day, until the sun moves down further. I bought a sun shade and installed that to the side for additional shade towards the end of the day. Gazebo can be installed in 1 day if you have at least 5-6 helping and a couple of people that know what they are doing. Organizing wood pieces and hardware is a must for smooth installation if doing yourself. Overall very solid wood structure, a few wood pieces were delivered warped with a small bend but they still installed and worked fine. Would recommend and consider buying another one in the future.

[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.] After years of not enjoying our porch because of the heat, this Gazebo has made all the difference in our outdoor time. It is not only well made, but is beautiful. We have added. TV, lights and an outdoor fan. Our back porch has become a whole new “ room” to enjoy.
