[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought and installed this a month ago, the install process is lengthy so I recommend packaging with an install. The only real issue is the kiln dried wood dried warped over time, so try and keep the product out of the sun If installing over multiple days. As with most kits, the most time consuming process is sorting parts. Overall I have gotten lots of compliments and would recommend this product.

Very excellent build. The instructions were very well laid out. There were only a couple of times that I had to really had to scratch my head to figure it out. Most of the build I performed by myself until I could get help to put large sections together. The pre drilled holes were laid out very well. The only exception was that the purlins like the T02 on the top of the left and right roof panels had the holes set up on the center of rafter which puts the screw right into the bolt for the rafter. I appreciate the protection on the metal roof panels but if I never see another piece of blue plastic it will be too soon!

The structure seems very strong and was straight forward to assemble. The roof panels were the most challenging to lift into position. This required enough people and planning to do safely. One design change is needed. The metal band that goes around at the bottom of the roof should go UNDER the roof pieces instead of over them as instructed, because it catches leaves and debris. My leaves caused visible stains on the wood. After it was too late I saw blogs mention how the instructions should be revised.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I knew I would not have a lot of help putting this thing together. I was pleasantly surprised how easy the instructions were to follow and there is also step-by-step instructions in the Built app to follow along with. The wood is light enough that I was able to easily maneuver the pieces myself. My neighbor is a contractor and he told me that he was surprised how quickly and efficiently I was able to put the thing together by myself. I did need help lifting the constructed room pieces onto the frame, but that only took about 20 minutes with 3 people. It is well crafted and looks great!

We bought this a month ago and my husband put it together and kept on commenting that this a great assembly and the wood and pieces are top quality. I helped with putting on the roof until we got to the 14 ft panels and enlisted help from our 21 year old dog sitter, who is tall and strong. I shopped for gazebos for 6 months before deciding on this. We received prompt and quality service. Never been happier with our decision! Thank you! It will last out lifetimes...

All our poolside retreat needed was a centerpiece giving us some shade...one that wouldn’t obstruct the glorious foothill views that surround our home near Yosemite. The Cordova protects us from the sun and the squinting, yet we are still able to relax and watch the hawks and ravens circling beneath clouds rolling in from the Pacific. Take a soothing dip in the pool or the spa. Then dry off under the solid Gazebo roof. All the creature comforts we need are at hand. The Cordova was the only thing that was missing. It is a classic. Bold and sturdy design. Perfect.

We needed shade on our patio and had a hard time finding something because our space was so large. So we decided to purchase (2) of the Cordova 14 X 10 Gazebos which fit perfect on one side of our space. Now we have a perfect shaded space and a sun space to enjoy the summer months.

Glad we read all the reviews and advice. It all came in handy! It took my husband and I longer than some but we took our time. We had every piece and extra. Hanging the roof was definitely a 3-4 person job because it was heavy. The only hiccup was putting it close against the house but we worked it out. It’s a quality gazebo and hopefully well built by us.

Assembled this gazebo mostly by myself, with 3 helpers to lift the roof panels into place. The printed instructions are very well written and easy to follow. I had a few questions during the build and customer support was wonderful.All the parts fit together nicely and are high quality. Great product overall and everyone who sees it is quite impressed.
