I received this a week ago. Nearly have it complete. Directions pretty good. Pretty apprehensive about weather asm. parts would fit. Everything does, amazing with the amount of predrilled holes all being right on. Only issue was 2 roof rafters on 14" side had purlin holes off location, wasn't a big deal. Can't wait to start using.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought our Backyard Discovery Gazebo in June of 2023. So far it has been a great entertaining area for both friends and family! I think Backyard Discovery gazebos would make a fun addition to anybodies backyard. As someone who has bought one and have enjoyed it very much, I would suggest having a slab poured and plan out exactly where you may want to add a future dedicated electrical outlets or even possibly running water. We learned the hard way….lol I also suggest putting a nice good quality sealant on it soon after it’s built as well as think about adding gutters to it. For no other reason other than just to protecting your investment. Here are a couple pics for inspiration ideas…

[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.

We have been very happy with our gazebo. It's already made it through a low grade hurricane too. It is certainly a project to get it built but the instructions are clear. My husband and I did the initial structure ourselves over a couple weekends and then called our high school age nephew over to help us put on the roof. We worked over 3 weekends in May 2023 to get it completed and have enjoyed it daily ever since.

Let's be honest during this review. You will go to YouTube for advice, you will probably reach out to the vendor where the product was purchased, BUT this will be an EXTREMELY HONEST but brief review (from my personal experience). 1. Pleaseeeeeeee, have at LEAST (3) people to help if you opt to DIY. As an FYI, my husband only had myself (and the use of (3+) ladders) 2. Take your time, and don't skip steps. 3. Once completed... take the time to ENJOY your new space! We celebrated immediately with wine and cocktails. :) 4. This gazebo is BEAUTIFUL! It has changed the whole dynamic of your backyard. Even our neighbor (from across the street) had to tell us how nice it is! We are VERY HAPPY with this gazebo!

We have had trouble finding a nice gazebo to put on our deck. Where we live, we tend to have wind even when it is not a windy day. Last month, we had a wind storm with gusts up to 75 miles per hour. This gazebo is still standing. Not only is this gazebo very durable with weather, it is very beautiful to look at. We are very happy with our purchase. Putting the gazebo together could be a challenge for some. Basically you are building this yourself except everything is already cut and drilled to put together. Directions are very good and all the pieces had holes drilled correctly. It will take at least 3 people to install the roof. Expect to take more than one day to put this together. We have no complains with our purchase of this gazebo. I would recommend this for its beauty and durability.

We just put this up a few days ago. It is beautiful, however we struggled getting the forth part of the rough on (possibly user error). We did end up getting it attached just not perfectly. We could not get the more decorative pieces on at the end. I do love it though. It is a great purchase.

We are incredibly satisfied with not only how the Cordova looks on our pool deck, but how sturdy this gazebo it is as well. It took a while to put together, but instructions were straight forward and packed well. We went back and forth about having one built, but decided to go with this one after a suggestion from a friend and we couldn't be more happy! We look forward to many gatherings...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While installation took maybe an hour more than expected, the installers did a great job. Well anchored, it’s very sturdy. Covered power strip a plus. We’ve added patio lights , a bamboo shade, and hanging heaters m. We expect to add clear tarps to block the winter wind. We use our gazebo everyday.

It took my wife and I 5 weeks to assemble, but we worked on it a leisurely pace. It's a good bit of work to put together but it came out really nice. Power tools are HIGHLY recommended, and you have to use your common sense as the instructions are a little fuzzy in certain steps. But overall a good experience and the end product is great/
