This build went extremely easily. I did it by myself over 2 days. About 5 hours each day. I did go slightly out of order. After assembling the rafters, I secured the roof on the gazebo before installing the roof panels. This made it easier to lift the roof up. make sure you recheck for square before adding panels.

I love the Bilt app with 3D CAD diagrams, etc and the voice guidance. Overall, the build was exactly as explained except the roof metal sheet layout. Apparently I was suppose to leave about a 1/2" or 3/8" gap along the starting edge. Flush on the front edge yes...but you need to slide the first sheet over a tad so that it will not come up short on the last sheet. It wasn't so far off that the trim didnt cover the gap. But it would save a lot of headaches if the instructions would just say that upfront.

I wasn't sure if it would be too big for our relatively small yard, but it has changed the whole look of our backyard. We used to have the grill pressed up against the house, but we actually moved it out into the middle of the patio with the gazebo over it, hung some lights, and have the table a bit further out... and it looks like the back of a restaurant now. I thought it was neat but I actually really didn't expect it to so dramatically change the look of our yard. People comment on it every time they come over.

Extremely impressed with this product and the company. I was leery about buying a kit, but this thing was impressive. Instructions were actually clear, parts and hardware very clearly labeled, extra hardware was provided (I double checked to make sure 😅), appropriate bits that were needed were provided and the Bilt 3-D app was helpful in some spots too. Pay attention to the instructions and you’ll have no issues. Highly recommend this product or anything from Backyard Discovery! Officially a customer for life at this point!

From ordering to delivery to setup this is a great product. The material was high quality. The directions were actually decent. I do recommend that you read them through once, lay out parts and tools, and also when doing some of the middle steps look ahead then go back and do the step. I found this to help support what the end result would be on the current step. I would challenge the takes three hours! And having 3 friends is helpful. 4 to lift the roof. Lastly once assembled it is heavy and hard to move so be prepared. A great buy and product!

Purchased one day and sorted one day, completed assembly the next, grilled the next. My neighbors were astounded. Incredibly simple and thoughtful instructions. Well laid out. Well labled, and thoughtfully designed. Every step, every part obviously well engineered. Was a pleasure to assemble.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for something that could do two things, protect my grill/barbecue area from rain, and shield my 3 season porch from the late afternoon/evening summer sun. I was able to put most of it together myself, and with my brother's help we lifted the roof section into place. I really like the look of it, I like the sturdy feel it has, it's very well thought out. It is a real job to put it together, though. Just do a thorough inventory, read the directions more than once, and budget plenty of time.

The assembly company offered on the website does not have any PNW crews so I had to hire my own. I had 4 guys on the first day and 2 guys for an additional 3 days, working full 8-9 hour days. They were carpenters who did excellent work, it just took a really long time. The finished carport looks outstanding.

The gazebo was very well packaged. Everything was there, no missing parts. They even provide screw tips for you. Took me, by myself about 8 hours start to finish on two separate days. Assembling the roof frame, then adding the roof tiles was the way to go. Very heavy. Very well made product. Instructions easy. The bilt app was a huge help. Really great gazebo. Looking forward to grilling underneath it soon. Just need to add some thompsons water seal.
