[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We live in South Carolina on the coast so we needed a shelter that sould withstand hurricane winds. Backyard Discovery was the only company that offered us a choice that fit our needs and price point. When constructing the gazebo I found that you can put it together a little differently than the instructions and still get great results, especially on the roof parts. for the most part it was a one person job. DO NOT try to install the roof panels without help. Preferrably three strong men. As you can see by the pictures, the end product is great. We love the way it turned out and it has been a pleasure to use. We added gutters because it was close to the house and we wanted to have a way to get to it without getting wet. It worked out better than we exp[ected. Overall it's a good value. It does take some expertise to put together, but a handy person can do it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gazebo was perfect for our backyard. My husband and I assembled the entire thing ourselves and just needed help from a few friends when lifting the roof sections on. We’ve had it up for about 6 months now and we still love it!

We bought it in September to allow us to add shade or protection to extend the usage of our new patio for the fall and the future seasons. We added roll down shades and curtains which allowed our furniture to be protected from an Idaho Winter. It also allowed us to heat with a patio heater which made it easier for us to dry off after getting out of our hot tub without tracking water into the house. I used this gazebo to enjoy the football season on the patio in the comfort of the enclosed gazebo. We are looking forward to barbecue season that is right around the corner.

Really enjoyed putting this together. Instructions and Bilt app. were spot on. Just take your time and it will be a breeze. Tip would be to get the main structure up and the roof supports built then stain/seal entire all the wood. Then install metal to roof and install the roof.

We just built two Backyard Discovery structures and we absolutely love them! The instructions were very clear for both, especially the emphasis on critical steps that would terribly difficult later on if missed. Some of the online reviewers, who praised your products and were quite detailed, recommended treating all of the pieces before assembly. We did so. Yes, it added some time to the project. But we want this to last for a very long time and consider that extra investment of our time to be worth it. I am not sure if you want to mention such an undertaking or not. Perhaps if you had been doing some studies and could offer some insight? In the meantime, we'll have to see how well Olympic Transparent Waterguard works over the years.

Had this 20x12 Barrington installed over the summer. It looked like the most sturdy model I could find. I had it anchored to a concrete patio. It had zero damage through hurricane Helene in 2024 (Cat 4). The eye passed right over our location in Valdosta, GA. Extensive damage to many homes and businesses but this thing had no issues. Metal roofing was perfect with no swaying or leaning to the structure afterwards. I am very impressed.

My Cordova Gazebo is such an added space. My family loves the leisure pleasure of the Cordova. It has added so much joy and beauty to out backyard. Guest want to get one for their entertainment pleasure. I would definitely purchase again. Very sturdy and looks beautiful.

This gazebo has exceeded all expectations! We love everything about it. It is absolutely beautiful-the wood and hardware are all top quality. It is a perfect place to escape the summer sun during the day, and it’s lovely place to relax in during the evenings. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To be honest, we were hesitant to buy a "kit" for our gazebo, however it looked so nice in the store we did it. Fantastic choice on our part!!!!! We did pay the extra and have it delivered and installed. Gazebo is great, installation was great. Quality is great. We are very happy!!!!
