Excellent quality, design and engineering

This gazebo is an excellent product and looks very attractive when finished. The instructions are detailed and relatively easy to follow. Even building it in a relatively confined space was not difficult. It did take four people to assemble the beam to post structure and the roof assemblies. Most of the assembly could be done by one person.
The thought process that went into the engineering was incredible. Pieces fit when they were supposed to and almost everything, within the limitations of a wood product, was cut and drilled perfectly. Everything lined up as it should have for an easy assembly. I do have a few suggestions for additions/adjustments to the instruction manual. it would be helpful to know the height from the deck/flat surface that the gazebo is to be mounted on to the center of the roof panel assembly. I used a "dead man" 2 by 4 to hold the first and subsequent panels up. It was easier for a person to push the notched dead man up and down than to try to hold the panel up while standing on a ladder and maneuvering each panel up where they go. When doing the beam assemblies the instructions do say bolt heads are on the outside of the beams, but it would slo be useful to reiterate in several locations and explain the beams need to be t-nut to t-nut to assure a flat surface to bolt beams together. And finally, it would be helpful to mark the roof assembly better. It is hard to visualize the right and left corner to facial beam assembly from the drawings alone. It would be helpful to use A to A, B to B, etc marked on the various wood pieces. Corner Lt could be A and Facia Beam Assembly left side could be A. Corner LT and corner RT could be labeled B and B. Corner RT could be C and Facia Beam right side could be C. As these beams are angled, the marking would be a great help. Finally, as the facia beam assemblies are cut at 45 degrees, they do not join perfectly. Mine did not at least. So four corner cap structures that could be placed over those 45 degree facia beam assemblies would add to a highly finished look. The existing caps do this in recognition the the roof assemblies do not match perfectly and leave a small gap. Please do not interpret these suggestions as indications that I think this is not an excellently designed product. It is incredibly looking and as far as I am concerned the best build it yourself gazebo I have seen.

the Finishing touch
on May 6, 2020
Posted by: Barker Texas
from Houston TX
We are both 72. We constructed all the parts and erected the 10 x 10 frame on a wood deck 21 inches above the ground with no assistance. We then waited 3 weeks until the Stay at home order was lifted and our Kids ( adults) came out and installed the roof panel .
We found the instructions clear,easy to understand and along with the videos very helpful. I required the Adult kids to watch the roof install video . From start to finish under 2 hours. We laided out every item and counted every thing. Being organize ,having a place to lay down material so they can be counted . Very good and well made Gazebo

Awesome!!!

We re-did a lot of our back yard making this structure the focal point. Ran a natural gas 100ft from the meter for a firepit and a natural gas grill. I poured over 10 yards of concrete for a pathway and pad for the structure.The project is coming along. Looks awesome! Still much to do. I would highly recommend this structure for anyone who is a DIYer.

Sturdy shelter and a welcome retreat from the sun.

Only four stars because I would think that pieces in a kit would be cut with more precision. You will need a sander to fix the poorly cut pieces. Other boards vary in width and there is no fixing those since the larger width is correct but the defects can be hidden in the final product by the choices you make when assembling it. The gazebo is sturdy and a welcome relief from the sun. It has not yet been through all 4 seasons so I will add to this when it does if there are any changes.

Looks awesome

We ordered the 10x10. I put all the pieces together and half the roof by myself. You definitely need 2-3 people to put the roof up to get the angle. Some pieces were cut wrong and some pieces the wood was warped. But all in all Very sturdy and the final product looks awesome. Will definitely recommend this product.

We <3 our gazebo-Best backyard in the neighborhood
on May 13, 2021
Posted by: EventMktgMaven
from Ocoee Florida
We love our 12x12 gazebo! Granted it took around 24 total hours to assemble with 2 very handy and capable men. We actually dug out holes in our pavers to fit the posts then filled the wholes with concrete then anchored them to the concrete. That took us an extra day of assembly but with seasonal hurricanes here in Florida the extra anchored protection is needed for those Category 5 winds. We still need to add ledger panels to the post bases, electric to add a fan and potentially a TV. But our backyard is the talk of the neighborhood! All our neighbors love it and our first backyard party was a hit!

Wonderful Retreat!

We purchased our 12 x 12 gazebo this past spring and had it erected in two days. The idea was to give us year round use of our spa, which living in Oregon, can be a real test with cool, rainy winter evenings and hot sunny summer days. This Yardistry building went together well, according to the plans, and looks just beautiful, adding a lot to the looks of our small back yard. We couldn't have asked for any more to accomplish our goals of getting a useful, yet beautiful and durable shelter for our spa. By adding outdoor curtains, we can close it up during inclement weather or open it up to gorgeous spring & summer days. We love our Yardistry structure. It's one of the best investments we've made!
