Nice gazebo, takes some time to put together and you will need 3 people to lift roof on. Wood post split when attaching anchor hardware. Really only issue I had.

Excellent materials used for the gazebo and expect many years of use. However, assembly instructions (initially missing from kit but quickly provided by Backyard Discovery) were extremely poor - part numbers for each step are shown but few descriptions as to how actual construction should be done. Plenty of hardware included but 2 boards missing for last step of roof assembly - didn't have time to wait for BD to ship parts, so purchased 1"x4"x12' cedar board at local DIY company and made it work). Even with lots of previous "some assembly required" experience, construction was definitely NOT "easy" as stated in on-line product description due to the lack of detailed instructions - too much time spent trying to interpret what the diagram was trying to show and actual actions needed. No mention on-line or in instruction manual in last step that manufacturer recommends that gazebo be attached to concrete slab or wooden deck that can handle the 410-lb weight of structure. Also, no mention in on-line description that roof assembly must be done on flat ground and that 3+ tall and strong people are then needed to raise the 150-180 lb roof onto frame assembly. It seems that with a few tweaks to the instructions, the roof assembly could be built on top of the frame assembly in a more traditional way of roofing a structure; had to hire 3 people to get the roof up onto the frame. As previously mentioned, expect many years of use from this gazebo and looking forward to getting started doing so.

My daughter and I built the frame. I built the rest. I did have to get some strong guys to lift it on the frame and I finished it myself. I'm 66 years old and it looks great. Instructions were easy to follow. The parts were all labeled. Including the hardware. They even supplied some tools. I would buy more projects from this company. It's strong and heavy I don't think wind will be any problem.

My wife and I was able to put this together in about 7 hrs. That's included taking breaks and lunch. The directions are step by step and very simple. Please don't be afraid to tackle this project! I bought this one and the 12×14 at the same time. That one took 2-3 because of the rain!

Easy to follow directions. Came with everything needed except for a drill. Impact driver would be preferrable. Would suggest putting metal on the roof panels after it is up rather than before as the instructions suggest, It is quite heavy without the metal and 2 people would not be enough to get it up on top with the metal attached

Love this Gazebo! I have looked at this for a couple of summers in Sam’s Club for our top deck. I finally decided to buy, since they have the best price on this. Husband & I built this in one weekend on the top deck. The roof was the tricky part because you build the roof & put it on at one time. We barely had enough room to build it on the deck & took a lot of thinking & maneuvering, but we got it. The quality of the deck is amazing!

Got this to go with our Cordova Gazebo. Love this too! Keeps my husband and his equipment covered while cooking, even when it’s raining. This was much easier than the Cordova because we had already done it once. Still need a third person to get the roof up there. We’re in our mid 60’s.

This thing is beautiful. It’s big enough for my Traeger and my Blackstone. Nice to have them covered on rainy days while I’m cooking. It is a beast to assemble! I did the majority of it on my own. I had to get help to put the roof on! It says three people can do it but I would recommend 5. It’s not that it’s super heavy, just large and has to be lifted. Once assembled, you will love it!!

Very happy with the quality of this gazebo. All wood and metal was in good shape. No dents, knots, or dings. Purchased in store. Comes in two boxes. Instructions are very clear except for screwing the roof panels and trim. Other then that it was very easy to follow. Complete setup took about 2 days. You'll need 3 people to help put the roof on. Beautiful gazebo

Placed order online, drove 60 miles to pick up the gazebo, but when I got home, I noticed that Box 1 of 2 had multiple hand written messages " do not sell" and when I open the box I noticed that 1 of the main boards that sustain the roof was cracked. It is probably easier to duplicate the board with 2x4, than driving 60 miles to return it but I'm very disappointed that Sam's gave me a bad known box.
