We purchased these 8 months ago and they both nlook like new. Made of excellent materials. They take three people to assemble but they ar worth the effort. We even use one this winter as a green houst. Just took tarps and enclosed the sides. It keep all our plants safe and was easy to change back. We sit outside each morning and drink our coffee each morning. Great and exciting product!

Hello Dan Mac, We're happy that you are having a 5-star experience with Yardistry. Enjoy your Gazebo!-The Yardistry Customer Experience Team-
This pavillion is totally impressive quality, design and materials. I put it together by myself in about 8 hours and we have a great hot tub area. Artistry has great support and continuously improve, they have a privacy screen they just designed and a bolt on cedar table both of which we will purchase(if our California shelter in place ever ends). I could not have built anything like this for cheaper.
I bought this 3 years ago and just restained it and wanted to review how it’s holding up - wonderfully! No issues with it, assembly was definitely a 3-4 person job, but went up in a half of a day after some organization and unpacking the night before. I have recommended to several friends who are always impressed with it.

Hello, Thank you for the positive rating. We're happy that you're happy with your Pavilion.-The Yardistry Customer Experience Team-
We purchased this gazebo summer of 2018, and had a blast building it! The directions were incredible, reminded me of LEGO’s, but with power tools. We have a giant deck that gets a ton of sun, and we couldn’t be more grateful now to be able to use this space and enjoy some shade. My handy husband installed a ceiling fan and lights, surround sound speakers and we have a baby swing hanging off one of the horizontal beams. It’s holding up so well, and we love our little oasis. We receive compliments, all the time. My only complaint is that some of the original varnish/zeta in seems to be peeling in areas. We purchased additional stain from the manufacturer, but it doesn’t seem to solve the problem. 1.5 years later and we don’t notice it too much, but not sure how it will keep over several years out. Overall and incredible product, we are beyond happy with it!
Marvelous product, & I get so many compliments on it. This was a really fun project. Easy to follow instructions & complete parts kits. Until it was time to raise the roof, I did all the assembly myself (get some help w the beams) & it took about 15 hours total to complete. The roof itself went up easy enough with 2 other men, although a 4th man would have made it easier. Very pleased

Hello Walter Lee, Thank you for sharing your DIY project with us. We appreciate the 5-star rating!-The Yardistry Customer Experience Team-
Bought this structure because or old fabric structure collapsed under a early fall snow dump . I can’t believe how well designed this structure is for strength . It took my wife and I roughly 2 days to build ( causally 6 hrs a day ) . The video was extremely helpful and I only looked at the instruction book to reference bolt and screw sizes . The roof panels are quite light that I could lift them into place while my wife was in the centre to hold the first panel up while I placed the second panel , bolted them together and the rest was a one man project. Again, I am amazed how well designed this structure is , wow !

Hello Akapaul, Thank you for sharing your Yardistry building experience with us. Glad you had fun. We appreciate the 5-star rating!-The Yardistry Customer Experience Team-
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.

Hello Lan the Techguy, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. It means so much when our customers share their experiences. Thank you for the photos. Your gazebo is beautiful!-The Yardistry Customer Experience Team-
We absolutely love this gazebo. It seems very sturdy. We've had several wind storms and it's not moved (we did anchor it into concrete). Granted, this was not easy to assemble. We had to get help from several people and it took many evenings of intense work. I'm not certain I'd try to do this again. However, the after product is awesome.
