Easy to assemble and good to as a foundation to customize to my specific needs. I turned the Gazebo into a small pool house. Equipped with a kitchen including a gas stove, sink, and fridge. Even a small bathroom and a roll down gate to enclose the bar opening.

I highly recommend any of the Yardistry products ... I bought the 10 X12 meridian pergola a couple of years ago and installed fiberglass panelling over top to cover my hot tub to enjoy it during the rainy season and during the snow season .... never looked back... a breeze to put together and stands up to the extremes of weather we get here on the west coast .... since then I have also purchased the 6X8 green house ..... awesome . and the care and instructions that went into the design and manufacturing of it were beyond compare ... a bit of a jigsaw puzzle but easy if you follow the detailed instructions... all parts needed were included .... Just call me a happy satisfied customer and I know where I will go for any other structure that I require

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...

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.

FYI the Yardistry gazebo is considered by building departments to be a 'structure' and is subject to their review. Yardistry REFUSES to provide structural calculations or a third party certification of the structural integrity of the gazebo (so is it safe in the first place??). To send their drawings to an engineer will double the price to install! If I had it to do over, I would just have a contractor just build a custom gazebo....

We bought this gazebo 3 years ago and love it! We sit out under it in all kinds of weather. We especially enjoy sitting out there in the rain, when all the neighbors have to go inside, we just enjoy the sound of the rain and watch the wildlife. We also have added a grilling pavilion this last fall, my husband loves grilling and this keeps him in the shade and out of the rain whenever he's cooking!

Our redwood gazebo that housed our hot tub was smashed by two falling trees in our backyard by the "bomb" cyclone that struck this past March. We found the Meridian gazebo to be the right size, but Yardistry doesn't offer privacy panels for the 10x10 at this time. I designed these panels myself and our contractor built everything to our specifications.

We absolutely love this gazebo. It seems very sturdy. We've had several wind storms and it's not moved (we did anchor it into concrete). Granted, this was not easy to assemble. We had to get help from several people and it took many evenings of intense work. I'm not certain I'd try to do this again. However, the after product is awesome.

I installed this pergola last August, 2022. I was truly impressed with great thoughtful reviews submitted and fair pricing. We had extensive experience on hand to install the pergola and followed the instructions to the T! Like others we installed the pergola in one full day. It’s a great looking structure for our newly landscaped yard however definitely faults in wood selected. Now we’re going to have to use filler on all the gaps and stain. Time we won’t get back there. Unlike your feedback to other comments, many of the wood splitting are not located anywhere near where the screws are drilled in (see photos). Recommendation to Yardistry: Ensure Quality Assurance really takes a good look at the structural pillars used for this product. Now I’m crossing fingers in hopes that our efforts to get longevity works.

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!
