This turned out great but I did have a few issues building that I should mention to the next guy. The pilot holes all lined up and keeping this square was easy but the pilot holes weren’t properly drilled all the way through the wood so sometimes the breakout on the backside of the hole needed persuasion. I guess if you cleaned all the holes to start with it would solve that problem but add time to the project. It would be really cool if the hardware were pre kitted per step instead of by hardware type. That would cut assembly time in half. The last issue is that the roof sheet metal was not cut square. If you know, you know. All in all, good quality but not great.

We purchased two of them with the assembly services included. We joined them side by side against the house wall making a great 40'x9.5 shaded space in the backyard. Because we bolted them to the wall we were able to remove 2 columns (house side). The space looks great, and has transformed our backyard. We now eat there all the time with family and friends. We stained it (clear stain) to give it more protection against the weather. We also added a fan and string lights which make it look even better. This product is robust and off good quantity. Big value for the price. I would recommend this to anybody. The assembly team was great too and was able to assemble them both in one day (10 hours). I took care of the bolting to the house and cutting of the columns.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased this gazebo that has unquestionably earned a 5-star rating from me. The sheer beauty of this gazebo is the first thing that catches your eye. Crafted from high-quality materials, it stands out as a stylish addition to my outdoor space. The construction process was a breeze, thanks to clear instructions and the inclusion of all necessary, high-quality parts. Durability is a key feature of this gazebo. It has admirably withstood high winds, a testament to its sturdy design and construction. Living in Michigan, I'm optimistic about its ability to handle the heavy snowfalls we often experience. Though it's yet to face this challenge, its performance so far gives me confidence in its resilience. The gazebo has become an essential part of our outdoor experience, particularly when enjoying our hot tub. It offers excellent protection from the elements, allowing us to relax and unwind without worrying about the weather. Its robust construction doesn't compromise on aesthetics, making it a delightful addition that enhances the overall ambience. If you're looking for a gazebo that combines beauty, durability, and functionality, this is the one to go for. It's a fantastic investment for anyone wanting to add a touch of elegance and practicality to their outdoor living space.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this assembled for about a month now. Assembly was not bad for 2 people. We got it up in an afternoon. I've grilled a few times under it so far and it's nice to not have the sun beating down on me the whole time I'm grilling. It also protects my grill from the elements. It was a great purchase!

This was my mothers day present and honest has been the best addition to our backyard. We used it all summer and now into fall. I’m beyond obsessed. It’s so durable but also its so lovely when it rains or drizzles hearing it hit the roof. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking. It took quite a while to put together but the whole family loves it.

Bought this gazebo because of the size and shape for my back porch. It gets lots of sun and was too hot to sit out there, as well to have rain coverage. We flipped it where the high end is next the house so it drains way from the house. Took three of us to put together in about 5 hours and three of us to put the roof on. Best way is to put a ladder in the center and push it up, we had three people to push it. You will have to treat it with stain, but over all high quality, instructions are easy to follow. Looking forward to hanging out now in the backyard. The dogs are too!

The Arcadia gazebo is awesome! It was the perfect size for our needs. It ended up being a lot of work but we got it done in a weekend. There were a few issues I had and they are as follows: 1) I wish we didn’t have to spend so much time water sealing the wood. That was huge time suck. 2) I wish Backyard Discovery would offer some gazebos with a back wall. I ended up having to buy some tongue and groove planks and tack them up on the back end to really give us adequate shade and privacy the whole day long. 3) It was almost impossible to do the job with just two people. There were two times, when we were attaching the two side panels to the back panel when I needed to get my wife to help us because two people have to hold the panels together while one guy screws them together. All in all it looks great and the value was there. Now we just have to wait and see if it holds up over time.

We bought the gazebo last fall since it was out of stock everywhere last summer, but with such solid reviews we wanted to wait…..and it was well worth the wait!! What a well built gazebo for the money and the design is so convenient having the two shelves while cooking! I can’t say enough good things! We even added our own panels on the back for additional shade and protection. If on the fence, press “buy” today.

This is one of the best investments we have ever made. Quality all the way thru, beautiful structure. This is an extremely well thought out product from manufacturing to end product. I am an engineer and was blown away by the sturdiness of this gazebo. Money well spent.

LOVE IT! I have a small 40x100 backyard on Long Island. I was looking to put up a privacy fence along my driveway that runs to the back of my yard because we are very (too) close to our neighbors where our patio table and sectional are. OMG the price of a 2 section wood fence and install was quoted at almost the same price as this gazebo. So we bought this instead and nailed 5/4x6” cedar decking to the back to enclose it. I am beyond excited about how it turned out and it gave us way more privacy than any fence and umbrella could. BUY IT! You wont regret it!
