This gazebo is every bit as beautiful as the pictures. We love the charm and warmth of the cedar. The only downside was the company hired to erect the gazebo (recommended by Backyard Discovery) did not secure it to the patio. They cited 'liability' issues. We had to do it ourselves.

We love the Gazebo design. Everyone that sees it says the same thing! They love it. The electrical box makes it easy to add lighting for special occasions. Provide shade for a quick lunch at the picnic table or a comfortable place to cook outdoors in the rain. The quality and design is excellent. Would highly recommend.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We spend so much more time outside now!! This gazebo has created the perfect space to cuddle up with my kids, a book, and a coffee most mornings. And I have a dry place to enjoy, while watching my kids play in the rain. This gazebo is beautiful and one of the greatest backyard investments!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First. there are many boxes of parts to organize. Secondly, there are many parts to assemble. Third, the film on all of the metal roofing must be removed. Plan on this project taking at least 3 days.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this on Sams club website took a few weeks to get delivered. Took us a week to put together working on it in the evenings after work. It takes at least 3 adults to put on the roof. Very happy with the end product.

We bought this a month ago and assembled it ourselves. It was a large job but the instructions were very clear. If you are not familiar with tools and larger projects I would recommend paying to have it assembled. The finished product is beautiful and we love it. It is very sturdy and is perfect for our pool side area. We look forward to using it for years to come. I could not be more pleased with this product.

The gazebo is beautiful. I have received a lot of compliments on it. The built in power strip is a great feature. It has held up through some pretty intense storms so far. The dimensions do make it difficult to find netting to go around it. I was trying to find something to keep mosquitos out but no luck. I did purchase set up with the gazebo and that was a real pain. It took quite a long time to get someone out and I had to call back and forth several times with the company they use. If you can put it up yourself or know of a company who can I would use them instead. I was pretty frustrated with that situation. My gazebo sat in boxes for at least a month after having it delivered because they couldn’t get anyone out to set it up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased our Cordova in anticipation of our “coming home” celebration this summer. We couldn’t have been more pleased! Not only is it a magnificent structure, it totally beautified our yard. Our family, and neighbors, were truly impressed. Our son loved it so much he purchased one for his back yard when he returned home to Indianapolis. Watching the workers assemble it was pure entertainment to my husband and me. It was like watching two artist at work and they were so friendly and professional. It’s a good feeling to know you actually got a lot more than you paid for. Looking forward to many more family gatherings and beautiful mornings just setting there watching the birds and having our morning coffee.

Let me start off by saying the Gazebo looks amazing and is very sturdy. I used both paper and the app directions while putting this together and I thought they were very clear and easy to follow. A big lesson learned was to set every little baggie of screws, bolts and washers in a way that makes them easy to find. Do the same with the boards. That is the most time consuming part. Finding which board, screws and washers go together can be super difficult if you aren’t organized. Now for the bad: my set came warped. I haven’t seen wood this warped before. Having to ask for them to send me replacement boards cost me DAYS putting this together. Luckily they have great customer service. It was a major frustration of this project. Some of my roof panels didn’t seem to line up even though they were square. This was do to warped boards not aligning with the purlins. I’m happy with the end result… once i get my new ridge cap because i had a bent one…
