Putting this together by yourself at my age took a few days. You will be atleast 4 people to join both halves. In the it was well constructed and everything went together well!

We absolutely love this gazebo. It is beautiful in our backyard. The directions were relatively easy to follow. No parts were missing but some holes were drilled improperly. It wasn't a big deal, though. I highly recommend having at least three people to assemble. Also, organize all the parts and lumber first. This will make your life easier. Having 4 sawhorses make it way easier as well. When it comes to putting on the roof be sure you have some tall, strong people to help you. We would buy this over and again. It is our backyard oasis!

We bought this for our new deck that we had built and love the shade, it provides. I will say it’s pretty labor-intensive, and I had 4 additional guys helping. All in all it took us about 8 or so hours working straight to finish. It’s very structurally sound and actually endured around 80 mile an hour winds a few weeks after we built it. The instructions are fairly easy but we did also utilize the app that makes things a bit clearer during setup. One note, when assembling the roof, make sure you are 100% square or else when you place them on the rafters the holes won’t line up correctly….. ask me how I know. All in all a very well built gazebo and I’m happy with the finished product.

This is a great looking gazebo and I was surprised that no pieces or hardware was missing. Assembly was straightforward for the most part but you will likely need 3 people or two very strong people. I managed to do all, except the roof by myself but the roof was tricky! That’s where you will need 3 people - one to attach it, two to lift each piece. Most of the pieces were straight and lined up. A couple were bent but they still worked and it looks great after I finished. I got the gutter kits as well. If you do so too, don’t put the roof edge since you will need to remove it before installing the gutters.

This kit is amazingly beautiful. Its bold timber construction is a statement of elegance in a carport that makes other solutions look like lawn trash. Forget the Aluminum carport with no character. It is easy to assemble with excellent step by step instructions that is fun and fulfilling to assemble. My TWO now sit in front of my colonial style house and I get compliments all the time on it. Yes I liked the first one so much I bought a second. The first was for my wife's car, the second for my prized 20 year old truck, still in great shape. Yes I do have a 2 car garage, where I park my Motorcycle and Sidecar Hack. I am a man who has his priorities in order. I'm sure the guys will understand....

Assembly required 4 people and took a 5 hours. We had never assembled one before. I'm very pleased with with quality of the gazebo. Some of the instructions can be confusing, careful reading helps I installed my on a concrete slab which made leveling, and squaring much easier. Highly recommend this product. Read instructions over carefully identifying all parts and laying them out first.

We set this up on our new deck to shade the deck and the East side of the dining room in the mornings. The only problem that we had was the holes not lining up on the roof to ridge T nuts on the B sections. I just redrilled the holes and bolted it up. We added roller shades to keep out the rain and sun.

Purchased along with the BD Cedar bar that matches it pretty well. The Gazebo looks very nice up and hopefully will be sturdy and long lasting. Took us about 2 1/2 days total with three adults working for most of that (there are moments when you need a third person or it will be impossible to do). So, able bodied adults who can climb ladders and lift 50 lbs(ish) should be able to do the job. Instructions were pretty good. Included more hardware than needed just in case, and several small tools to help (the right sized bits). There were a few times when we had to figure something out (the worst was that the roof pieces did not seem to fit, because the end boards had to be oriented a certain way, but the instructions didn't make that clear--so we had to take them down, figure that out, and put them back up again). All in all, we feel the price is good, instructions and build was pretty good, and overall are glad we chose this gazebo.

Our new gazebo has been a wonderful addition to our backyard and is just what we needed! It is handsome and so well made. We've gotten so many compliments. We hope to add the gutter system and screen in the future. Thank you for an amazing product!

We are very happy with our pergola purchase, it added much needed shade and cover to our outdoor dining area. It also increased the beauty of the yard overall, we use our yard so much more now. Very happy with the cost and quality.
