We purchased this item, very much dreading putting it together. What a shock, everything labeled correctly. Step by step instructions. Well built, sturdy and not as hard to put up as I thought. Looks great in our backyard, we have a firepit in the middle with our patio furniture around. Well worth the money

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 would give this gazebo a perfect 10 except for one big issue I have: after getting it up, the next day my hands broke out in blisters and fingers swollen - seems that I am allergic to the plastic covering of the roofing metal pieces. There is lots of plastic to be removed by hand. If you are allergic to latex get someone else to remove the covering!!!!!!!!!!!! We were 4 seniors who put this up: one in his 60s, 2 in our 70s and on in his 80s. Took us 3 hot, sunny afternoons and lots of water breaks. I did some sub-assemblies in the garage out of the sun but the strong essence of the cedar started making me woozy. With garage door fully open letting in warm but fresh air all was soon fine. We had one issue with following the directions: We had the outside roof triangle assembly upside down. Realized this when we came to attach the metal roof pieces. Fortunately, taking the piece off and reattaching it was minor. Later on the third day of assembly we had a BBQ for the 4 assemblers and wives. Looks great in our backyard on a 10 x 10 wooden deck/platform about 7 feet from the house. Plan to purchase a few cedar planks and attach to one end to serve as a windbreak and privacy screen. It would be about shoulder height down to knee level. Maybe a metal decorative panel(s) on a second side. Maybe a lattice on the third side to have plants growing up. Fourth side open to enter and exit. A few minor aches and pains suffered by the senior 4; however, it didn't stop the others from playing golf the next day or two later.

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

Bought the 12 x 16 Gazebo early summer, apart for fitting the roof built it myself with the assistance of Irwin clamps. Looks brilliant with the mosquito mesh kit, a must for Scotland.Unfortunately I failed to get the rain gutter kit at the same time, also a must have for Scotland, just waiting for the hot tube, can’t wait. Had loads of compliments on how good it looks.Defo recommend this gazebo.

I bought two of these gazebos because I love the way they look. However, within the first 4 months parts started to crack and split and the issue was growing. I emailed Yardistry and they replaced several of the pieces under their warranty. They were a bit of a pain to replace but it worked out in the end, and Yardistry was pleasant to deal with. I live in Southern California which is typically hot and dry but that year was atypically very wet and we went through several cycles of wet and then hot. I'm sure this didn't help the product even though the parts were treated. In the end, I would buy them again. As a side note, several of the pieces came warped, don't tighten the bolts until you have a lot of the product already together or it can be difficult to assemble.

I received delivery on 6/5 and immediately sorted out the many pieces to ensure complete set. Noticed that #729 Corner LT was cracked. Later when assembling one of the roof panels the end of fascia beam had a chunk fall out when securing it to a Corner RT. I had drill set to lowest torque so I know that it was not from too much force. This is the only piece that fell apart after screwing in what seemed to be a thousand screws. Wish that these two items didn't occur because it seems like it might be a nice gazebo. Also, as another reviewer noted, some to the precut pieces could be a little more precise and some of the longer lengths of wood had a bend in them. I might have to fabricate replacement pieces of wood since I can't wait another 3-4 weeks for replacement parts.

Sadly I am unable to give a better review. The product itself is nice, however ours was missing a few pieces. We did not find out until a year and half after purchase since we didn't have it installed until then. When I reached out to the company directly I was told that this was a warranty issue and it was subject to the 1 year limitation. I offered to provide evidence that we just unboxed last week ( paid a professional to come assemble) but they just stuck to the one year warranty stance. So if you purchase, make sure and unbox and do an inventory so you find out if you are missing parts. I am waiting on a quote to see how much I have to pay in addition to the purchase and assembly to resolve.

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.

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.
