Our backyard went from being a yard with a concrete slab to a space that we truly can use year round. Our gazebo has added so much living space to our house, as it can be used year round. We've had it two years and it looks like new! It is a quality product and we couldn't be happier!

While had a lovely wood deck and a pretty pergola, the deck needed constant maintenance and the pergola did not keep out rain, bugs, debris and pollen. We replaced this with a large stone patio and a large 12’x20’ Meridian Gazebo! We also purchased the mesh zippered mosquito netting, and I can say that this netting keeps out rain too! We had electricity brought up to the gazebo and have 4 receptacles, and even added a ceiling fan with a light. Now we can enjoy a comfy time under the gazebo, rain or shine. Love, love, love the new look and functionality of our patio!

My husband and I put this together ourselves over the course of several days. We had extra help for the steps where additional hands were needed. We needed to level it out with some PVC “lifts” so unfortunately we had to use a different mount & anchor system. Our backyard faces North, so it’s morning rising sun, all day sun, and evening setting sun!!! This gazebo has made our patio usable and enjoyable. It’s good looking, appears solid, and looks great with string lights at night!

This gazebo is an excellent product and looks very attractive when finished. The instructions are detailed and relatively easy to follow. Even building it in a relatively confined space was not difficult. It did take four people to assemble the beam to post structure and the roof assemblies. Most of the assembly could be done by one person. The thought process that went into the engineering was incredible. Pieces fit when they were supposed to and almost everything, within the limitations of a wood product, was cut and drilled perfectly. Everything lined up as it should have for an easy assembly. I do have a few suggestions for additions/adjustments to the instruction manual. it would be helpful to know the height from the deck/flat surface that the gazebo is to be mounted on to the center of the roof panel assembly. I used a "dead man" 2 by 4 to hold the first and subsequent panels up. It was easier for a person to push the notched dead man up and down than to try to hold the panel up while standing on a ladder and maneuvering each panel up where they go. When doing the beam assemblies the instructions do say bolt heads are on the outside of the beams, but it would slo be useful to reiterate in several locations and explain the beams need to be t-nut to t-nut to assure a flat surface to bolt beams together. And finally, it would be helpful to mark the roof assembly better. It is hard to visualize the right and left corner to facial beam assembly from the drawings alone. It would be helpful to use A to A, B to B, etc marked on the various wood pieces. Corner Lt could be A and Facia Beam Assembly left side could be A. Corner LT and corner RT could be labeled B and B. Corner RT could be C and Facia Beam right side could be C. As these beams are angled, the marking would be a great help. Finally, as the facia beam assemblies are cut at 45 degrees, they do not join perfectly. Mine did not at least. So four corner cap structures that could be placed over those 45 degree facia beam assemblies would add to a highly finished look. The existing caps do this in recognition the the roof assemblies do not match perfectly and leave a small gap. Please do not interpret these suggestions as indications that I think this is not an excellently designed product. It is incredibly looking and as far as I am concerned the best build it yourself gazebo I have seen.

Built structure two years ago and still looks great. Will be restaining and sealing the wood this spring. Structure was easy to assemble but required three extra people to get the roof on and into place. I was able to do assembly mostly by oneself. Two required to put up legs and cross members. Instructions were clear and their videos on line were excellent. Great product and design.

I love this gazebo! It was easy to assemble and put up, as long as you follow the directions properly and view the helpful videos. I installed lighting and added a color matched gutter system that makes the gazebo pop! We always get compliments when friends and family come over...

I've wanted this gazebo for over a year now, but I had to get the "boss" to approve. She finally caved and let me buy it a few weeks ago! I ordered it online and picked it up a week ago. It's been completed now for 2 days and all I can say is I love it! Our backyard is not very big at all and our covered patio just wasn't enough. When we had a paver patio installed last summer, it gave us more entertainment room, but without any kind of shade, it didn't allow us to do much, especially in the hot summer sun of Phoenix. I'm glad I finally was able to purchase this gazebo and allow our family to enjoy the backyard year round! Construction is not for everyone. I work in the building materials industry and I have some extensive DIY experience, but this wasn't easy. The directions, at times, were hard to follow because there were some grammatical errors. And then some of the wood was warped (one of the side beams was warped, as well as a few of the of roof rafter beams), which made it difficult to fasten. Overall, I thought the construction was pretty straight-forward. The quality of the gazebo is excellent! I feel it's extremely sturdy and will stand the test of time. My wife already put on a coat of stain/sealer to darken the wood a little bit and it looks great! We'll be adding a fan and some string lights in the coming weeks. Overall: AWESOME PRODUCT!!! 4-Star Review only because of the warped wood and slight difficulty understanding installation instructions.

About 5 years ago we installed a Yardistry 12x14 Gazebo on out patio off our dining room. We have just had another Yardistry Gazebo installed on our lower patio

This was one of the best investments I have made in many years. It is the right size for my yard and is very attractive. I would highly recommend this product, because it is made very well.

Have this for over two years now and added rain gutters and sun shades and some electrical work. No regrets this is a great product and adds a character to your backyard living.
