The assembly of the product has very little tolerance for error and field conditions. Roof panels do not overlap with wide seams. I have a concern for when it rains that water will drip through the seams. Further the fact that the entire process requires assistance of others to install is a downfall in my opinion. Assembly of the roof in four units that each require lifting is not a good idea. The units are very heavy and lifting is awkward and not safe for a 16ft section. The roof should be considered to be assembled in place. Hardware is a low grade steel and should be replaced/ upgraded in key areas such as where the roof sections combine. Overall the unit has a nice look but could benefit from another person or review assembly by a single person.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was fairly easy to put together by myself. I needed help with the roof. This company thinks of everything, I love that there were extra screws as well. The cedar is nice touch and the ceiling is lofted a bit. I love it!

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. :)

So it took me about three weeks to do during the hot summer days that we had, I actually did about a weeks worth of work on it in between resting from the heat with over hundred degrees temperature several days in my area. Everything went together fairly well, I was a little worried about the measurements for the four roof panels, but once I got it up there and all bolted together, it turned out great. I recommend just following the instructions page by page and don't jump ahead and you should have no problem at all.

Our daughter and grandson helped build it, along with a few extras to help lift the roof sections. It replaced a canvas topped gazebo that flapped constantly in the wind. We added lights for evening enjoyment, and are looking forward to a relaxing time this summer.

I've had the kit for a month or so and my wife and I have almost finished it! Weather, work, and vacations have held it up. The kit was well thought-out; all fasteners had extras, so no running out. There were a couple of areas (roof section assembly, for example) where the written instructions were a bit weak; the 3-d "bilt" program accessed through the website or instructions was very helpful in any areas where the printed material lagged behind. A very pretty structure which seems built to last!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this unit just before July 4th and was able to put the unit up almost by myself. The instructions were easy to follow, all parts were properly labeled and pre drilled. If I had room I'd buy a second one

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this for our backyard as we needed shade for parties we often host. We get compliments all of the time. It looks great and is well built. Took one person 12 hours to build which I think was quicker then expected.

I purchased this Gazebo last summer and had them assemble it too. They contracted semi-local contractors to actually assemble it and they did a phenomenal job. The gazebo itself is very sturdy (held up perfectly to very strong winds and heavy snows this winter) and visually pleasant and inobtrusive. I did install a misting system to the outside perimeter which works wonderfully and keeps a large patio/pool deck very comfortable. I highly recommend this gazebo!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought online with included installation. Arrived on time in good condition. The installers promptly put it together and did a good job. Had it about a year now. Excellent quality and appearance. Couldn’t be happier with it
