[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I really like the gazebo and looking forward sitting outside when it's raining or sunny. My son, nephew, cousin and I had fun spending time together while building the gazebo. I had a few questions and your customer service was extremely helpful and kind.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this Backyard Gazebo from Lowe’s last Spring to have it ready by summer. It arrived on time and we stored it in our garage until we were ready to put it up. It took us a long time to put together because we are not builders of any sort. Our son did come and help, he is not a professional builder but he is able to do much more than my husband and I could. We worked around his schedule. It helped that we organized the wood and hardware so we didn’t have to search for pieces when we needed them. We finally got it up and we’re very pleased. Our children and grandchildren were able to enjoy the shade by the pool. I highly recommend this gazebo. However, to save time, I would gladly pay the service fee to have someone experienced put it together. If you are good at this sort of thing you could do it with at least two others helping. The directions are easy to follow and perfect to create a beautiful gazebo. The wood is beautiful and it is sturdy and the beautiful metal roof does not leak in heavy rain. We were impressed with how all of the pieces fit together.

We are very please with this product. We live in a very high wind area, and I was sick of replacing umbrellas every year. The style blends well with our home, and provides great shade for summer dining in the terrace. We hired people to assemble it, and they assured us this was much higher quality than they were used to assembling. Highly recommend!

We purchased our Cordova Gazebo almost a year ago and it truly has sustained our Colorado winds, our most recent winter heavy snow. Even our most recent heavy rains without any problems at all. It was absolutely one of our better purchases and wish we had purchased it sooner. My husband Rick, our son and our neighbor all helped with putting the roof on as it did need 3 people. The lower part of 4 posts and sides my husband pretty much did it himself with an extra ladder. He’s very creative! So the roof was the part that did require the assistance of a few more hands. We enjoy using our new outdoor space for many outside events in our yard day or night. It looks beautiful. We did hang lights for sitting outside in our cool Colorado evenings. My husband and I enjoy just sitting under it in the morning drinking our coffee. My sister and her husband were so impressed with our Gazebo that they are ordering one for themselves. So we would highly recommend this purchase to anyone considering purchasing or having one built. It is a great price, quality is 5 star.

I bought this 16x12 Barrington for its style and guarantees with the wind and weight load. Most gazebos, I noticed my research, are only rated for half the wind and weight load of this one. It came palletized in six boxes. You need a large area to spread everything out to make sense of the parts. There were two pieces of wood that were damaged in the box, but the company immediately replaced same within a couple days without a problem. I did need two other people to attach the legs to the framework and again to install the roof panels. The 16-ft roof panels were a challenge to install because of their weight and awkwardness of its size. I did need a little help with the rubber mallet and wood clamps for this step. I did find it weird that you install the drip edge over the roof and not under. The rain does go down under the drip edge, over the cedar fascia, and onto the deck. I don't know how long this wood will last before rotting. They should figure out a different way to finish the roof with the water being diverted in a different way. Also, when I had the paver patio installed I gave the contractor the measurements to wear each post was going to be located. He then poured a concrete footing under the pavers and those pavers are also embedded in the concrete. I used 5-in concrete anchor screws to lock down the posts.

Not going to lie-this thing is a beast to out together. The directions could be a tad clearer for the average person. There are very specific ways to attach things and if anything is backwards it’ll mess up the whole thing. We ended up having to drill a few additional holes to assemble the roof panels. It’s not perfect, but it’s sturdy and looks great! Take your time and have 2-3 people to help. :)

It took us a few days to put together and I am not handy at all. I was concerned about sturdiness but once it’s complete, it’s solid! I love the look of it. I would highly recommend this gazebo! All the parts were in the boxes, make sure you pre-drill the holes like it says in the instructions. Great product. Please make a mosquito net and sun screen for it Backyard!

We're absolutely thrilled with our new backyard oasis addition! The roof is perfectly designed for stringing up twinkling lights and hanging a refreshing fan. We've been impressed with its sturdiness so far, and we can't wait to make unforgettable summer memories beneath its shade.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A couple of neighbors and I put it together and really pleased with the way it went together and more importantly the way it looked after it was up. It looks great and I would absolutely recommend to my friends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this earlier this year and overall very happy I did. When it arrived there was damage to a couple of boxes and some of the material. The company was great to work with and sent new parts right away. The assembly took me quite awhile and some of the instructions could have been better. Overall we are very happy with our purchase and would recommend this gazebo to anyone.
