I'm so happy I purchased this gazebo. It adds a great look to my backyard patio. Everything was labeled nicely to put together, although at times it was a little confusing. In all it took about 10 hours to put together with multiple people but so worth it in the end!

We bought this a month ago and assembled it ourselves. It was a large job but the instructions were very clear. If you are not familiar with tools and larger projects I would recommend paying to have it assembled. The finished product is beautiful and we love it. It is very sturdy and is perfect for our pool side area. We look forward to using it for years to come. I could not be more pleased with this product.

I’m glad I purchased this gazebo. It was tedious to put all of the parts together and I only had problems with a few parts. I had to really clean the pre drilled holes in the posts. The first few times I tried to put the bolts and nuts through, I kept catching some residual saw dust. I only had problems with the posts though. I did like that an app was available to look at the pictures a little better. The app and paper directions do not match completely. I primarily used the paper copy. I watched several videos on cedar gazebos like this one and I did not appreciate the difference between the Backyard Discovery Gazebo and the Yardistry Gazebo until I put the roof on with help. Backyard Discovery uses a frame to attach the roof panels to and the videos for other cedar gazebos do not have a frame. The benefit is evident when placing the roof panels. We put up one at a time instead of trying to hold up three panels before bolting them together. It came together so much easier than the videos. I purchased the Backyard Discovery Gazebo because of the look and the anchor plates. We get a lot of wind in my back yard sometimes and I didn’t want to worry about it during a wind storm. I wanted to use the biggest concrete anchors that would fit in the pre drilled holes. The wind ratings and snow loads were higher than other products. I’m very happy with how it turned out. I only finished it two weeks ago. I’m not going to disclose how long it took me to put together because I was doing it by myself for the most part except for installing the beams between the posts and the roof. It seems very solid and it is attractive which are my main concerns.

We purchased this through Sam's Club. The main reason we went with this brand is that it is rates for 100mph winds. The other brands were farliwe, often only in the 40mph range. We live in Florida so this is especially important. My husband built it largely by himself, got some help from a friend to lift certain sections. The one downside is that there are no accessories sold specifically for this model, such as a bar counter or screen kit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Córdoba’s 100% Cedar 14x10 Gazebo was easy to assemble and is a perfect match for our Jacuzzi Spa. You will need help lifting roof pieces into place, the rest I self assembled. Predrilled holes all lined up and love that it’s 100% cedar product not a cedar like product for a very reasonable price. Thank you.

This piece is beautiful. The style brings any start or addition to what you are trying to achieve with your backyard oasis. Very modern, the coloring of the beautiful wood really accents my home. Was easy to put together and my family thanks you for having something so beautiful and affordable for all to enjoy! Come on over!

We bought our gazebo at the beginning of the summer. From ordering it, to delivery, to assembly, to enjoying it, we have been more than satisfied. The step by step instructions were very well done and the parts were high quality and very accurately labeled and manufactured for easy assembly. We are very impressed with the gazebo and enjoy our time using it now and plan on enjoying it for years to come!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been wanting to cover our patio f or some time. After manh years of research, we decided on the Cordova. Not only did it come in the size we needed, it can withstand snow, hail and wind up to 100mph!!!!! It also had the option for assembly, which is well worth it. Overall our Gazebo is more than we expected! We raved about it so much, that my Sister bought one too!

This Gazebo is engineered well, packaged great and if you follow the written instructions you will not have a problem. Now with that said, please put the 10 hours of intermediate assembly time out of your head, it takes much more that that. I consider myself advanced when it comes to assembly of something like this and other than needing help to raise the roof panels and adding the side trim I built it myself and I am 64. The roof panel install took 1 1/2 hours with three people and you will need that many in my opinion. Follow all the tips and instructions in the manual. I really recommend spending the time to open every box and remove everything. Keep all the hardware in their bags so you can reference the part number. Organize the wood, hardware and other misc. parts. Regarding the kit I received, nothing was broken or missing. If you are following the instructions everything fits together as intended. If you are finding yourself wanting to rework something you are probably building it wrong. All bolt locations and pilot holes were where they should be. I built this Gazebo on a new paver patio. The 4 x 4's shown in the picture were squared and spanned using the drawing in the manual to support the Gazebo and are buried in concrete 30" down. I did not want to anchor the Gazebo to the pavers or pour separate slabs but instead wanted to use Lag Bolts through the Gazebo columns which I knew were hollow into the 4 x 4's. Again in my opinion this how I wanted to support lateral forces and wind load. When you first open all the boxes and see all the parts the project looks overwhelming. But in truth it's not and if you take your time you will be happy with the build. This is a very robust, well designed and manufactured product that in no way looks cheap sitting on your patio.

We love our new Discovery Gazebo! It’s not fully set up yet with our additions (curtains, lights, etc) but we’re getting there! Even bare, our new gazebo brings so much more life to the backyard. We can’t wait to entertain and excited to finally have some shade as well. I highly recommend this product!
