We love this gazebo - it is very sturdy/solid and provides great shade from the heat of New Orleans. The customer service and installation were very professional and exceeded our expectations. The built in electric panel lets you charge phones or power a radio or TV - I ran outdoor lights under the roof along with a small outdoor fan. I highly recommend - nice addition to our patio!

We purchased our Cordova 14X10 Gazeebo in July and had it installed on our pool deck on four foot deep concrete footers. One of the main reasons we went with Backyard Discovery was the ability for the structure to withstand heavy winds. I live in the Tampa area and we just went through Hurricane Milton last night. I had major concerns about the metal roof and when I woke up this morning, the entire structure was completely intact. Apart from the being a beautiful structure, it’s amazing to see that it withstood 90 mph gusts and sustained winds of 75 mph for several hours. If you want a well built and beautiful pavilion, I’d highly recommend Backyard Discovery. We couldn’t be more pleased.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We added this to our pool area as more of a place to sit out and enjoy when the weather got cooler. We've slept under it and sat out there when it's rained. We just love the quality and the value it's added to our home.

It's absolutely beautiful and incredibly sturdy. We decided to build it ourselves, it was tedious but the instructions were clear and easy to follow. The holes lined up easily, just don't tighten the hardware until they are all lined up. IT IS HEAVY! We had to have 4 people just to lift the 5 boxes off the truck. This is not a 1 man job, you'll need at least 3 people to install the roof. There are videos on YouTube showing people building these that include alot of hints and tips.

We love our new addition to the patio and while we installed it late in the season for much use, we look forward to next spring and summer. Install was work, but for the most part straight forward. We had help lifting roof sections in place as well as the initial four posts. We took our time, followed the paper instructions mostly and are very happy with the result. We sealed it with Thompsons sealer-before the roof panels were on which was a wise decision. And yesterday, we hung 5 strands of vintage large Christmas lights under the roof! Highly recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Placed our gazebo on our deck instead of attaching a pergola to our full log home. It provides protection from the elements and is just what we were looking for. It appears that it will require little maintenance and withstand the elements.

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.

I purchased this gazebo a few months ago. To protect us from the Florida Sun. Large enough to have a good group relax and get together. I purchased because of the high weather rating for Florida. Was very concerned that it would last during high winds. Looks great and family are enjoying time spent outdoors.

After researching every available gazebo model on the market, we chose this one and couldn’t be happier with our decision. We live in the CA desert where wind gusts in our area can regularly reach up to 75 mph. This model said it could withstand 125 mph winds, which no other product claimed, so I selected this one for that very purpose. Prior to the gazebo’s arrival, we had a contractor pour cement and add steel brackets to the post locations. We opted to pay the additional money to have the gazebo built by the company and we’re so glad we did as it took three men, several hours to do it. They did a wonderful job and were very friendly. Once they finished, our contractor added steel bolts to the posts, securely attaching them to the brackets, thus ensuring they would withstand our crazy, erratic conditions. Our contractor also added string light bulbs and a ceiling fan/light. He then hooked up a waterline to the gazebo and installed a misting system. Finally, he hung interior mosquito netting curtain panels and outer heavy privacy curtains, both of which are tied at the four corners when not in use. We LOVE our new outdoor space! Our friends and family have also marveled at it. We love that the structure is built from beautiful wood beams, rather the aluminum like many of the models we see. We have a day bed couch, two chairs and a coffee table under it, and since it has extra electrical outlets, we regularly bring a lightweight TV outside to watch while snuggled up on the couch. This gazebo has allowed us to enjoy our backyard more fully now. And every time I gaze out to our backyard and see it, it makes me happy. My husband says that makes this the best purchase ever.

It was very easy to set up just take your time and follow the directions. Make sure you have at least two more people to help you get the roof up. With two more people it makes it a lot easier. Very very satisfied with this gazebo. Me and the wife have spent many hours in the summer sitting out underneath it would highly highly recommend this. Very sturdy very well made.
