[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.

I purchased the Grill Gazebo XL as well as the 14’X10’ Cordova for our newly renovated back yard space. The Grill Gazebo XL, I put together by myself and just had a friend help me lift the roof section onto the frame. With the Cordova, I had 2 friends help and we had a pretty good system down by the end. Had it not started to rain it would’ve only taken us about 6 hours in total. Still, with the rain delay, it only took about 8 hours total time. We added a few accessories to each structure such as lights, a ceiling fan in the Cordova s well as a couple roll-up shades on the Cordova to help shield against the harsh sunlight when it’s low in the sky or a brisk wind. Between the included instructions and the app, assemble was pretty straightforward. Once you complete on section, it’s mostly all repetitive but don’t get carried away. Read the instructions and stick to them. All-in-all, I’m thoroughly impressed with the look and quality of both products. Time will tell how they hold up to the Midwest winter months but I don’t anticipate and issues.

Overall very good kit. I’m an above-average handyman w construction experience. Having the right tools such as good drill, impact drill, extra construction clamps and hammer drill for concrete is important. Three strong people for roof install is a must. Not just for lifting but also moving the roof around to get it all square and booting together. We had some big gaps between roof panels that required moving panels and clamping hard. BILT app and paper instructions are very good. Blue plastic covering on sheet metal is a bear. That took an hour or more all-in peeling off the plastic as it tore in small pieces. There must be a better way to protect the metal. I’m a little concerned about the “corrosion resistant” metal. Saw some evidence of rust already and the panels get scratched a little during assembly. Plan to get brown touch up paint to cover scratches but hope the roof holds up for more than year or two! The pavilion looks great and seems sturdy. Overall I’m very pleased.

We’re so happy we purchased this particular cedar gazebo. It is beautiful and sturdy. We chose this one for its durability and the ability of the steel roof to handle snow accumulation. Our GoConfigure two-man crew completed assembly in just four hours!! They were very knowledgeable and professional. This gazebo is a backyard statement- very inviting and the cedar smells wonderful. We are totally satisfied with our purchase. It’s our new three season hang-out space!

I put almost all of this together by myself (54 yrs old), just putting the sections together over about 3 nights, then I assembled it all by myself on a Saturday, I did have to recruit help at the end, to assist in putting the roof sections on, the roof actually needs 3 people, we managed to do it with 2, the roof is definitely the hardest part of the assembly, but I highly suggest having help, be prepared it's not a 1 day simple project, it is fairly easy to assemble, it's just time consuming. if you want something that looks great and is sturdy, I highly recommend this gazebo.

We purchased 3 acres in the country and built our homes. We needed a perfect spot to relax and entertain friends. This gazebo fills the bill for relaxing in the afternoon listening to the birds or entertaining friends in our new relaxing country home. Eventually, we are building a pond area in front of the gazebo for additional country relaxation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I looked at a few cheaper options, but I am so happy to have spent a bit more and got a quality gazebo. The thing is a tank. I was impressed that all the pieces were marked and the directions were easy to follow. I would buy other products form Backyard Discovery.

I bought this last September 2022. All boxes for the gazebo were clearly marked and easy for me to set aside in the order I would need them. With the help of a couple friends we were able to put this together in two days. It was easy to put together, instructions were clear all parts were accounted for. It looks stunning on my deck everyone that see's it loves it. Would highly recommend buying this gazebo for your outdoors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Added a 16X30 deck in the back yard, and then topped it off with the 14x10 Gazebo. Took a weekend with a couple of friends to put together but very happy with this. Added an outdoor fan and light and makes for a great place to get out of the sun and relax. Would buy Backyard Discovery products again.

So much better than I ever imagined. We've been wanting one of these for a few years, but finally pulled the trigger earlier in spring. It took a good three days and lots of strong men to put together, but it's so worth it. It's beautiful and great quality. We put it on top of our deck, and it provides all the privacy and shade we needed.
