We purchased our 12 x 12 gazebo this past spring and had it erected in two days. The idea was to give us year round use of our spa, which living in Oregon, can be a real test with cool, rainy winter evenings and hot sunny summer days. This Yardistry building went together well, according to the plans, and looks just beautiful, adding a lot to the looks of our small back yard. We couldn't have asked for any more to accomplish our goals of getting a useful, yet beautiful and durable shelter for our spa. By adding outdoor curtains, we can close it up during inclement weather or open it up to gorgeous spring & summer days. We love our Yardistry structure. It's one of the best investments we've made!

We live in central California which can get hot in the summer time. About 5 years age we puchased a home with a small padio but needed more covered area in the backyard. Our gardener suggested a gazebo to increase coverage. We purchased a 12x14 Meridian Gazebo that the gardening company installed for us. It's has worked well in the backyard as it looks good and checks all the boxes of needs for us. We added a ceiling fan to help with the hot summers. One of the things that we added was white reflective paint to the aluminum roof. The reflective paint made a big difference at dropping the temperature under the gazebo.

We were considering having an addition added to our house onto the family room. After discussing with our contractor the costs of doing this we decided to install another Yardistry Gazebo. We purchased the 12x20 Gazebo and had Yardistry arrange the installation. Since we wanted some pop to the Gazebo we installed a Garapa wood floor over the concrete. This would allow rain water to flow under the floor while having the strength to hold the Gazebo. Once installation was complete we added electric for lighting, ceiling fans and stereo speakers. We're planning on adding a television sometime in the future. This has become a great spot for quiet morning coffee or evening entertaining.

The Gazebo covers a above ground Spa. It provides shade during sunshine days and protection from the rain in bad weather. With the lights we added it makes spa use at any time and in any weather. at the instructions were very helpful and direct. It indicated you would need up to four people during some steps and if those instructions were followed everything went well.

We bought the Meridian model in May, 2017. It was fairly easy to assemble. It looks absolutely beautiful--classy & elegant. The neighbors went bonkers when we put up this gazebo--green with envy. It made our patio a showplace. Read the reviews for hints installing---they really helped. Don't wait another minute, go buy this eye pleasing structure.

Well build, we live in a new area and the winds are very strong and am very pleased that this gazebo will be able to withstand the winds and would totally recommend this product. Also I am thinking of purchasing the mesh to help with some privacy and bugs.

I purchased this gazebo about a month ago and my 2 sons and I took about 11 hours to assemble. Instructions and online videos were very helpful in assuring proper assembly. Everything went together properly and looked excellent in the final product.

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

Description: the description and online photos are 100% accurate. As described, the structure is super solid and pre-drilled holes are spot on. Price: excellent price considering the quality of the product. Packing: it comes in 4 boxes strapped to one 4x8 pallet. The pieces are well packed and easy to inventory. The only annoying thing was peeling all the plastic wrapping off the metal pieces (overkill). Assembly: it went very smoothly. I needed 2 additional people to get the initial steps completed to get the structure established. Then I didn’t need help until putting the roof sections into place. It took just over 1 day (14 hours) to assemble the structure. I lost a lot of time peeling the plastic wrap off the metal pieces. Of note: Keep in mind this is an outdoor structure, so the corners and long boards connect with small gaps and moderately flush. Regardless, the structure is super solid and rain doesn’t not penetrate the roof AT ALL...dry everywhere underneath during a rain storm. Assembly: it

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.
