Gazebo: Backyard Bliss

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely adore our new Gazebo! It has transformed our backyard into a vibrant living space. The assembly instructions were straightforward, and the accompanying app was incredibly useful. Moreover, the products used are of exceptionally high quality.

Perfect Backyard Getaway !!!

Purchased online and was delivered on time at the end of the driveway due to COVID restrictions. Sorted and assembled with 4 adults in about 7 hours. Highly recommend having one person on the instructions. Had a few problems towards the end getting things to line up, but with a little effort went together nicely. Definitely recommend and am thoroughly enjoying my new "room" addition.

Looks great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had purchased a Backyard Discovery playset in the past and were happy with the product so when looking do build a pavilion we decided to order this one. We live in Northern Minnesota and wanted something attractive and sturdy enough to withstand the snow. My husband opted to stain each piece prior to building it, we put it together ourselves, we couldn’t be happier with the results.

Excellent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We needed a carport and this is a great size and value. The top is durable for all season weather. When not a carport we can use for shade to grill and setup for family gatherings. You will get a lot of use out of it, that is for sure!

Beautiful Kit, but assembly can be a challenge

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was delivered in late Sept, but sat in my driveway until early Nov. because I couldn't find someone to help me assemble. So I had some time off and decided to try it alone, and I'm glad I did. Everything is well labeled, all the components, and multiple bags of connectors and other parts. I set up all my sawhorses to stack and organize the amazing smelling cedar components. I commandeered my picnic table to arrange all the connector bags by type and number. I downloaded Bilt, and between it and the printed instructions, I made good headway putting things together over a few days. Then it came time to raise the Gable ends, which definitely needs at least 2 people to do. I drafted my fiance to help after work, and in the dark, we got it standing up and put together. Then, a few more days of working alone assembling all of the roof panels on the ground. I found and hired a local handyman to help me with lifting the roof panels into place and securing them and I'm glad I did. This is the most difficult part of the assembly, and it was at times frustrating and left us scratching our heads. The holes for securing the upper facia to the ridge rafter are poorly located, where you cannot use a power tool to drive the bolts. Furthermore, you have to support the roof panel while simultaneously screwing the bolts in by hand with the torx wrench, or else the load of the panel on the bolt as you try to screw it in makes it impossible. Finally, the bolts are being received by T-nuts inside the ridge rafter, and a few of those came loose to the point that the bolts weren't screwing into anything. Very frustrating, but we got just enough of them in to hold the panels in place. The first four panels are "easy" to place before securing, but the last ones on each side are difficult to fit. We also found that the holes in the rafter truss' did not match up with the holes in the roof rafters. More head scratching, eventually drilling/securing the truss' in place when we made sure that everything was keeping its correct dimensions. It took 2 of us 6 hours to place the roof, but we got it done. With the ladder still up, I drove a few 2.5" deck screws through the upper fascia boards into the ridge rafter to make sure the panels were well secured. I had to then travel for a week of work, so I have yet to place the ridge cap and drip edges, and as can be seen in the photos, snow has come to Northern Michigan. My car is clean underneath, and, despite the challenges in assembly, I am VERY PLEASED with the finished product. It looks better than ANY of the other pergolas I considered, and 90% of the assembly experience was perfect and easy. I look forward to many years of shade and dryness under it, and I am so happy I spent my money on a Backyard Discovery product.

Overall Very Pleased

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this and put it up over the summer. While it was a beast to construct the parts are great quality, instructions very clear and they even provided extra hardware. We are extremely happy as we assembled on a new patio to cover our hot tub. Turned out better than I could have imagined!!

Just what we wanted!

We bought this a month ago and love it! It was a bit of a challenge to put together-you definitely needed both the written and video instructions but now that it is done I couldn’t be happier! It looks awesome and is my new favorite spot! We will be enjoying many days and evenings to come.

Great addition to our back deck!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this early last summer. Excellent customer service. Very quick delivery. Assembly instructions made for a quick and easy job for my brother and I. Within two days we were relaxing under the gazebo.

Looks great

I bought this because it looked like a good value, and everything was included. I pre stained mine, and I would recommend doing it, It will add a couple of days to the assembly time. I was short some hardware. Most of the hardware bags had 1 extra piece , however some were short several pieces. I did erect this myself, except for the roof, with many saw horses, and scaffolding.

Buy This one!!

I have been researching these for actually years. Finally decided to buy this one. Absolutely the right choice. The packaging was fantastic nothing got damaged in shipment. The incredible thing is the engineering of this. It takes time but goes together perfectly. Everybody who sees it cannot believe how nice it is. I called for a question and the customer service was just as good as the product. I am real happy with the entire purchasing decision!
