It was very easy to set up just take your time and follow the directions. Make sure you have at least two more people to help you get the roof up. With two more people it makes it a lot easier. Very very satisfied with this gazebo. Me and the wife have spent many hours in the summer sitting out underneath it would highly highly recommend this. Very sturdy very well made.

Wanted a sturdy gazebo (after yrs of dealing with the canvas top type & having to worry about the weather demolishing it) This was a great choice-from the excellent delivery service, well packaged cartons (not one piece was damaged, none missing), fairly clear directions, to the finished, assembled structure. Husband (66 yrs old) assembled by himself with 3 'youngins' helping to raise the roof (all exactly as was suggested in company description). Beautiful solid gazebo-met our expectations & hoping it holds up to the weather

Bought this Gazebo for an apartment complex and it has been nothing but problems. While assembling there was missing parts, and parts that didn’t have the correct pilot holes. The roof does not line up once it has all fully assembled. There was extra hours to just correct it. If you buy this, buy it pre assembled. It is not worth your time and or extra effort.

Bought this in the summer and couldn’t be happier with the result! It was so great to have this during the hottest months in Texas to cool off, as well as more recently during the rainy days to keep my patio area dry, especially with two little doggies who love it as well! We wrapped it in lights thanks to the plug it comes with, which made it easy to have the electrical access and the lights make my backyard so fun and homey!! Thank you Backyard Discovery!!

Overall a very quality product. The assembly time in some of the reviews I read were very aggressive. Pros: Quality wood and hardware. The instructions were great, very detailed and offered many good guides throughout the assembly. Cons: I was missing three boards, all rafters. Two of the rafters were detailed with miter cuts and a rabbit. I am a retired carpenter so instead of waiting for who knows how long to get these, I fabricated these. I only had one other helper, also a retired carpenter. The panel assembly took the longest. I had two other friends help in raising and fastening the roof panels. I still gave it a 4 star because it looks great, is of high quality and the packaging was good. Expect to spend a couple of hours peeling off the protective wrap off the roof panels and drip edges.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this kit and love it. Excellent instructions and online video support. Each piece of the construction materials was clearly marked and easily identified. One small bent item was replaced by the manufacturer within two day. So no delay in construction. Can easily be constructed by the do it yourselfer.

My husband and I have been wanting a gazebo for so long. We finally purchased one and it has been the BEST addition to our home. We host a lot of parties and family get-togethers, the gazebo brings everyone excitment when they see how well built and beautiful this structure is in our backyard. My husband and I eat dinner almost every night under our gazebo while watching the sunset. This gazebo has brought nothing but happiness into our lives. Also, this gazebo protects my two Frenchies from the sun. I LOVE THIS GAZEBO! I definitely would love having another gazebo over our hottub one day!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this as a cover over my Hot Tub. It’s very solid and well built. Used the service to have it built. Many parts and instructions are complex. I highly recommend professional assembly and installation.

We installed this towards the end of the season so we did not hook up the electric or the lights we purchased. There wasn't a lot of opportunity to use the gazebo before the weather turned cold but we were very pleased with the brief time we did get to use it. We had it installed by a local service and there is a small leak coming through the roof which is probably more of an installation issue than a product issue. Hopefully it's an easy fix. We are looking forward to enjoying the shade it will provide on our deck. It looks great and is very attractive.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this gazebo earlier this year, with the plan on having a builder put it together for us… the builder ended up not being able to do it for months. So we ended up getting my family together and we built it ourselves. I would definitely recommend the option to have it built when delivered. It took my family 2 days to complete the build. The instructions were great but it’s just hard to do if you have no experience. Luckily my Dad does so it made it much easier for us. I would buy again and recommend to friends.
