After allot of researching different products and companies I purchased the Meridian Gazebo. It took 2 full days to assemble. Wood quality and pre-drilled hole alignment was excellent overall, I only had to re-drill 3 holes as they were only slightly off. The roof assembly was the most challenging. I'd suggest to lay all the roof panels on the wood before screwing anything down. I also used a clamp and wood to help bring the roof panels close enough to begin joining them. Overall, it goes together well and the end product was worth the cost and effort.

We are both 72. We constructed all the parts and erected the 10 x 10 frame on a wood deck 21 inches above the ground with no assistance. We then waited 3 weeks until the Stay at home order was lifted and our Kids ( adults) came out and installed the roof panel . We found the instructions clear,easy to understand and along with the videos very helpful. I required the Adult kids to watch the roof install video . From start to finish under 2 hours. We laided out every item and counted every thing. Being organize ,having a place to lay down material so they can be counted . Very good and well made Gazebo

We bought product about 2 months ago. Like that it had predrilled holes so you know exactly where to attach parts. Instructions were easy to use. Make sure you have 4 to 5 people for roof assembly, but otherwise it is an easy 2 person job. Love the looks and gives good shade.

I bought my 10 x 10 ft.gazebo last fall and erected it in May. I decided to stain it Brown to:match my deck and stained all the pieces before putting it together. I am 85 years old and aside from installing the roof sections with a little help I was able to do most of the work alone. We love it..Good value for the money and it will last long after I’m in the ash can. . The instruction booklet was well put together and easy to understand…

We purchased the 10 x 10 Meridian Gazebo and installed it in our backyard, and we love it. It is super cozy. Installation instructions were very easy to follow, all parts were there with a fee extra's and took about 16 hrs to fully install. 2 things to remember....the ridge caps might go on smoother with a touch of oil, and the 4th roof section is the trickiest. Other than that.....well worth the money and time.

We have had ours for nearly 5 years. Last year we redid the stain using a Cabot product. Found a very close color match with no problem. Still water tight and with the new stain looks like new. It was fairly easy for an experienced DYIer. Need to go slow and READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. We set up an assembly area on the basketball court with saw horses and an assembly table. Well worth the price!!

My home experiences hot, late afternoon western exposure, and I needed a new deck. Saw this gazebo and it is the perfect solution to the harsh afternoon sun. And we love dining, even sleeping in it. I have installed rolling shades on the west side for late afternoon shade and lights.

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!

Easy to assemble after reading the instructions. The parts fit together perfectly. Was missing some pieces not because Yardistry but due to the retailer. Yardistry has stepped up and had my missing parts in a few days. The product is excellent the service is way over and above anything I experienced with any company in a long, long time. I would absolutely recommend anything they make based on my experience.

I live in a neighborhood with an HOA and we needed approval to build this gazebo and were denied since it has an aluminum/metal roof and they require the gazebo to have shingles for the roof material. Is this an option for me to buy the material separately from a 3rd party and just discard the aluminum/metal roof material and use different material to put shingles on the roof instead?
