68 year old couple with right tools and meticulous attention to the instructions completed construction of our 14X12 gazebo in 15 hours working time. Print and internet directions were both helpful. 900 lb project came in 6 boxes, so tip the delivery guys extra to place the boxes close to the construction site! We only had one significant boo boo that required retracing a step to correct (and a few mild swear words helped). I am amazed how square the gazebo was during construction; this is paramount in achieving a good result for all the components to fit together. Highly recommend two cordless drills/drivers, two ladders, and good neighbors to help the two times we needed to lift panels of the roof onto the frame. We never ran out of pieces/parts as most bags were overfilled with components, however this led to sometimes wondering if we missed a step. Overall, a good experience and great result. Although, peeling the protective plastic film from the trim pieces was a pain and took a full hour to achieve. We also spent an hour inventorying everything due to wife's accounting background (and found everything was present). I highly recommend this company and this particular project.

After looking at this gazebo for a long time, we finally made the purchase and love it! It did take us longer than 2 days, but we were not in a hurry, took our time and made sure we had all pieces put together correctly. We highly recommend to read the printed directions and to watch the videos. Use the specifically coded boards and hardware that are listed in the directions and everything should work and come together. To install roof panels, definitely need a minimum of 3 strong men. We did have a couple of pieces that were damaged in shipment and had to be replaced, with one being a main column. We called customer service and they shipped both pieces in a very timely fashion (also we were within the 30 day warranty). It is well worth the time and money we invested. Now we’re ready to enjoy and share great times with friends and family.

happy that I bought this a month ago. Just need to see how it does when it rains. Has been able to do very well with the winds. The 4 ridge pieces should hold but we will see with time. The quality of the material was good but had problems with some of the pieces being under/over length. some of the pieces were warped. Had a delay on one of the 12' roof panels that cost me some time to erect and money for a worker that came out of town. All in all once I received the right size pieces the hole thing when up without a problem.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bough the gazebo one month ago and is happy about it. The wood smells so good and it is light, but sturdy! easy for us to assemble all by ourselves. The size is great to connect with our pool, provides good seating spaces. The customer service is also excellent, we missing one type of screws, they shipped out to us within 2 days which is great. Overall, happy with the purchase and highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [Employee of backyarddiscovery] Ever since i upgraded my backyard by building Cordova 14x10 Gazebo, I've been excited to stay and hang around with friends or family preparing food, bbqing, talking and having fun. I have never enjoyed my backyard like this before.

I bought this a few weeks ago and we are in love with it. Our back deck is all sun and it is too hot to spend time out there. We bought a few cheaper quality gazebos that didn’t last and decided to get a high quality one this year. We were highly impressed on the quality. Delivery updates were provided and it was delivered on time. The delivery persons were courteous and handled everything professionally. The directions are very clear, the parts are well labeled, extra screws are provided if you drop or lose one and it was overall easy to put together. We were concerned about putting on the roof pieces, that they would be too heavy-but they were not. My husband and I were able to lift them into place easily. We needed to contact the company regarding an error my husband made with the screws. Customer service was great and they put the screws in the mail promptly. This is a company that stands behind their product!! I would recommend this product to anyone.

This has only been up a few days. Product packaging was great, nothing damaged and no missing parts. You definitely need 2-3 people to assemble. Heaviest lift is the roof sections. All of the pre drilled holes lined up very well with only a few exceptions. Quality of wood and assembly brackets are very good. I can see why this has an excellent wind rating.

BUY THIS NOW! we bought this gazebo about a month ago and wish we had years ago. In our subdivision there is little shade, this gazebo gives us the perfect back patio with coverage from the sun! Delivery, instructions, parts, wood quality, video step by step instructions were great, everything packaged and presented nicely! Another great feature is the electric outlet box, very helpful and convenient for hanging lights or phones/ music. We are very pleased and happy we purchased. **only one issue, I’m trying to find a sunshade/ misquote black net for this gazebo. I see other brands have their own made for their products but I’m having a hard time finding one that would work with this particular one. **

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gazebo was perfect for our backyard. My husband and I assembled the entire thing ourselves and just needed help from a few friends when lifting the roof sections on. We’ve had it up for about 6 months now and we still love it!

Unfortunately I do not have the gazebo up some issues that I am trying to clear up has held up the assembly. I did see this gazebo in person set up in Sams club and I fell in love with it immediately and it is so sturdy and so well designed I knew right away that i had to have it. Again I cannot take pictures or video until I have it assembled, but be rest assured that I will share many pictures and video as soon as that happens. Thank you Backyard Discovery for an amazing gazebo!
