I had an aluminun and steel gazebo for 15 years. The roof leaked, the poles were splitting and it needed to be replaced. I purchased this with assembly and am very pleased. The unit is super sturdy, does not leak. It has withstood several windstorms with 40 to 70 MPH wind gusts. We had a heavy snowfall over the winter and it did not bend the roof panels and it still does not leak. The assembly was worth it and well built

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this Gazebo to cover my hot tub. The Gazebo looks great and I have received several compliments on it. The wife loves bot the look and the additional hot tub use with rain and cold (surrounded with curtains in cold weather). Instructions were fairly clear and it was more or less easy to put together with only a little bit of confusion or potential misalignment of pieces. The only assistance I required was lifting of the roof panels in place, with the 14' sections requiring 3 people. The only real problem I had was that a few cement anchors snapped while attaching to the concrete columns even with a impact driver....bought a new set from Lowes that were a little thicker to properly secure. I did have to slightly modify by cutting about a foot from 2 pillars as the area is on a slight hill. My neighbors that helped with the roof panels, were pretty impressed by the quality of the gazebo. They could see how sturdy the gazebo was, how the pieces were fit together close up, the weight of the roof, etc. basically the things you don't see from far off looking in someone else's back yard. I do not normally submit reviews, but there was a chance to win...so that is why incentivized review is marked, but everything I am saying is true, I am just lazy :) This is a great product and I am very happy to have purchased.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this gazebo. I have it over my hot tub and it looks nice, have received many compliments. It is a quality product and attractive, The electrical outlet is a great feature, it was a good deal. Great value for the money.

Bought this in the summer and couldn’t be happier with the result! It was so great to have this during the hottest months in Texas to cool off, as well as more recently during the rainy days to keep my patio area dry, especially with two little doggies who love it as well! We wrapped it in lights thanks to the plug it comes with, which made it easy to have the electrical access and the lights make my backyard so fun and homey!! Thank you Backyard Discovery!!

overall the only gazebo I've seen that should handle Buffalo NY snow.\nThe Bilt app is a real help. part numbers stamped on board edges are nearly impossible to read. Removable stickers would be a big help.\n99 % of pre drilled holes line up. overall would recommend, but installed myself because the installation company (Go Configure) stiffed twice. \n built roof panels in garage and had 4 adults install roof sections.

Our recent purchase of this gazebo has made the perfect addition to our patio. It has brought us from inside to the great outdoors more than before we had it. Our friends and neighbors comment on how great it looks. It’s the best addition to our home. We added lights for evenings and WOW it makes the perfect place to sit outside at night with friends. We love it! My husband and I wished we did it sooner. Great addition to our home!!

Bought this 2 month's ago. Looks well built and the instructions are decent. The ap with 3d helps alot. The only things that would help are better markings on hardware bags(not black). And the boards that are have holes that should down to be labeled as lower/upper.

We had a EF2 tornado come thru and it stood up to it. We had it anchored to a concrete patio and the only damage it has is a few dents in metal roof and one side has a dents and gouges from flying debris. Our house needs a new roof (even though the roof was only one year old from flying debris) and new siding. This is very sturdy and beautiful.

I saw this Gazebo on display at Sams Club and I had to have. It’s well built, tons of space and the power/usb outlets is by far the best feature. My backyard is the talk of the neighborhood!!! I added some lights to it and made it even more cozy! Don’t hesitate!!! BUY IT!!!!!!

We bought one of these a year ago and just love it! We don't have a garage so when the weather is bad I pull my SUV under it. This spring we had two different days of 80 mph straight line winds. It blew a healthy mature tree over, uprooting it. The gazebo is just fine with absolutely no damage. My husband and grown sons put it together and although it took a while it wasn't too bad. Lots of boxes/pieces but if you get them organized before you start it helps.
