The assembly company offered on the website does not have any PNW crews so I had to hire my own. I had 4 guys on the first day and 2 guys for an additional 3 days, working full 8-9 hour days. They were carpenters who did excellent work, it just took a really long time. The finished carport looks outstanding.

The barbecue gazebo is ab attractive addition to our backyard patio. The gazebo came in two boxes. The assembly is quite lengthy. The parts are well labeled and correspond well with the installation manual. The manual says 3 hours to assemble but that wasn't the case for me. It took about 12 hours but we went slow taking care to double check our work. Three people will be needed for the roof but if you can get a fourth person it will help. Don't skip steps. If you do you may regret it. I must commend Backyard Discovery for the precise layout for the assembly points for this gazebo. Everything lined up precisley which was quite impressive considering all the connections that needed to be made and the nature of wood (contraction, expansion, warping etc.). We were missing poles so we called the manufacturer and they shipped out the missing poles the same day we called. If you are good at putting things together then go for it. For those who may find this challenging I would reccomend hiring someone to put it together. Great product. I would highly recommend it.

I bought this to put on our farm for small community activities and it’s great! It did take a WHILE to assemble. The instructions thought it would take 3 people about 6 hours to assemble - that was wildly wrong. We had four people (2 strong people, an engineer, and an architect) and it took us 2.5 days (about 16-20 hours). It was simple to follow the instructions and all of the pieces and hardware were well labeled. The app instructions were much more clear than the printed booklet. It looks excellent, we love it, and I already want another!

We bought this a few months back and were able to put it together and attach to our 12x16 Backyard Discovery Gazebo we bought last year. It took less than 8 hours to put together and has given us a lot of room to grill and lounge around in the back yard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this to be able to grill all year under cover. I live in far northern New York and needed something to keep the snow off of me and the grill. Has good snow load, was straight forward to assemble and looks good with our Cordova gazebo.

The gazebo came with all material required for assembly. My wife and I assembled it in a couple days without too much difficulty. The wood is very light and the posts are hollow, but the assembled product is sturdy. We already have some dark spots on the wood after 7 months, so it looks like sanding and staining will be an annual recurring maintenance at the very least. Overall we are satisfied with this product.

I would recommend this gazebo. All was well labeled and instructions were very clear. However, I mounted the roof panel after the frame was up and secured. If would have been too heavy for my wife and I to lift. We are seniors and it work out better that way for us

I purchased this gazebo to add necessary shaded area in my backyard. I had my handyman put it together; he thought it was well made. I'm happy with the quality and all pieces, bolts, etc were included. I wished the back opening was more private so we added cedar boards/slats & it worked out great! Would recommend this gazebo to others looking for a quality product.

Not only does it look great but it’s a perfect size. I had been on the fence about buying for awhile because of the price but I’m glad I finally did. It is very heavy and the materials are quality. The shipment and packaging were well done. It is definitely a 2 person build, so plan accordingly. It took my father-in-law and I about 4 hours to assemble (and we are both pretty handy).

I purchased this so I have some protection from the weather in northern New York. I grill all year round snd thus will be great. I am adding a back wall for more wind/snow protection as well as lights for night grilling. Good addition to our 10x14 Cordova gazebo.
