It was too expensive to build a percent roof covering our back deck. This gazebo did the trick. We installed a sun shade to stop the evening sun so we can enjoy the tranquility of our back yard. And cookout without getting rained on. Would definitely buy again. I put most of it together by myself. You definitely need two or three people to slide the roof panels in place.

Not for the weak of heart to put together. We just had two of us putting the gazebo together contrary to advice. We were shorted a couple corner brackets but once we got started it went fairly smooth. We added teardrop lights and a couple fans. It provides good shade and the fans keep a breeze stirring. If you’re not up for a full weekend project, pay to have the gazebo assembled.

This carport is beautiful and very well designed. Installation is very tedious. You have to be willing to take your time. The Bilt app is great, however the roof rafters and soffit pieces are very confusing and it is difficult to tell which pieces go with which. I meased this up on several panels. The green plastic wrap on the metal sheeting takes an unduly long time to remove. It is a test of patience but the finished product is sturdy and attractive. It's a trade - off!

The color of the gazebo is perfect with my new deck! I bought it before the deck was finished based on the photographs and it worked out perfectly. Love the A-frame design and the power access as well. Assembly was a bit intimidating but the instructions were clear and it turned out great! Looking forward to many a summers night (and day) enjoying this beautiful gazebo!

This is a great addition to our backyard. It gives us plenty of shade in the SC heat. The interior allows for a host of add ons for your liking such as mounting a TV, adding shelves, or adding hanging decorative lighting. I wish I knew the exact brand and stain color for the gazebo in order to prepare to restain when necessary in the future. This project will take a minimum of two people to complete by the way. I had another friend help me, but we are construction savvy. We have also purchased the grill cover style gazebo. I suggest it as well to match this gazebo!

The gazebo assembly went really well, and it looks great adjacent to the house. I did not appreciate getting an email the day I received it saying that to maintain my warranty, I would have to perform labor on the gazebo that would far exceed the cost. Better to just tell customers there is no warranty, as that would have been more truthful.

We absolutely love our new gazebo. The cedar is sturdy and gorgeous, and the roof is really durable, which is so essential in our midwest climate. We love the power outlet feature so we can hang outdoor lights, as well as a TV! The size is perfect to fit our large outdoor sectional, with ample room to spare.

The gazebo turned out pretty good. Not to bad to build. My only complaint would be the wood. I thought I was getting cedar. Turns out it is Chinese cedar. It's not really cedar, but part of the cypress family. It has the same general qualities of cedar, rot resistance, keeps insects away. The wood on my gazebo is stained from the factory. The wood splits really easy and exposes the white wood underneath. Some of the bolts and fasteners broke or stripped pretty easy, but they do have a few extras in the bags. Overall it's solid and will keep the rain and sun off of us when needed.

I added 4 feet to the carport height to house my 18 foot travel trailer. I inserted 3.5” x 3.5” x 2’ posts into each 7’ post. I then sandwiched (2) 6” x 1.25” x 4’ cedar boards & (2) 3.5” X 1.25” to the center posts. I then attached the provided baseplates to the new extension posts. The build from that point was normal.

Instructions were fairly easy to follow, installation was easy with the help of a few people and looks great put together. The impressive part is that since it was installed we've had two storms with at least 50 mph winds and one storm with 70 mph winds and the structure is intact and didn't move a bit. I had reinforced the roof a bit when installing and used some bigger anchors when connecting to the concrete but am impressed that this structure held up to the storms we've had.
