We lost our first gazebo (soft-top) to the harsh winters in the northeast, and knew we needed something better. Luckily, this seems to fit the bill nicely. Snow load ratings are one of the best around in the "kit" category, and the price was extremely reasonable.

This gazebo is built like a tank. Took about 12 hours to install, but definitely worth the effort. We now have a focal point in our backyard that everyone is asking about, and could not be more excited to use it all Summer! A bit bummed it is not pre-sealed but other than that no complaints.

My husband and 2 friends took a day to put together this pergola. It came out beautiful, and it's exactly what we wanted! We live on the water, and it's heavy materials shouldn't be a problem with strong winds. Love it and can't wait for summer cocktails poolside under it!

we bought this as a replacement for an open roofed version of one of your pergolas. the instructions were OK...not great but Ok. you will need at least 2 people for parts buildiong then 3 or 4 stronger people for the roof attachment portion. overall we love it and would recommend it

The gazebo is very sturdy and looks nice the pre drilled holes are not always exactly where they should be and you will need to drill some that werent drilled out clean. it woukd be well worth the 650$ for installation as we spent about 20-25 hrs assembling this. overall i am happy with the finished product and it seems like it will withstand the new england winters.

I purchased the Grill Gazebo XL as well as the 14’X10’ Cordova for our newly renovated back yard space. The Grill Gazebo XL, I put together by myself and just had a friend help me lift the roof section onto the frame. With the Cordova, I had 2 friends help and we had a pretty good system down by the end. Had it not started to rain it would’ve only taken us about 6 hours in total. Still, with the rain delay, it only took about 8 hours total time. We added a few accessories to each structure such as lights, a ceiling fan in the Cordova s well as a couple roll-up shades on the Cordova to help shield against the harsh sunlight when it’s low in the sky or a brisk wind. Between the included instructions and the app, assemble was pretty straightforward. Once you complete on section, it’s mostly all repetitive but don’t get carried away. Read the instructions and stick to them. All-in-all, I’m thoroughly impressed with the look and quality of both products. Time will tell how they hold up to the Midwest winter months but I don’t anticipate and issues.

First bit of advice is don’t print using dark ink on a clear plastic bag when the contents of the bag are the same color as the ink. Second, the manifests detailing what each box contains should all be accessible without having to open each box. This would allow people to strategically unpack things and organize them. I just started assembling today so I will update the review as I progress.

I purchased this gazebo, then realized we needed something bigger. So,instead of sending it back, we order a 2nd one. We placed them side by side. They look great! We’re very pleased and receive lots of compliments on them. Wish we had done this years ago! I do recommend hiring someone to assemble it.

We built this gazebo for our backyard last summer and by my experience it is without a doubt the best in class for a self assembly product of this type. From the detailed assembly manual to the quality of the components it far exceeded our expectations. This gazebo is tough enough to withstand the elements and it is a real delight to have. We love it.

Love the look of this gazebo. Does take some time to put together but well worth the work. Everything matched up perfectly. We had a couple parts missing out of the boxes. Luckily was some of the last pieces needed. Called customer service and they jumped on it quickly. That was extremely appreciated!!
