We purchased two kits with the intention to combine into one large unit. This took extensive modifications achievable by an advanced woodworker with knowledge of framing. The extra parts not needed from combining the kits were used to close out the center Gable Beam and reinforce the joining section of the Ridge Beam. It came out exactly as envisioned and is solid. There is no way I could have built from scratch for the same cost. The kit comes complete with all hardware and parts are clearly identified. I integrated gutters on this build and tapped into our existing home downspout / drainage. Next is lighting but I just have not gotten to it yet.
We bought this gazebo so that we could add some shade to our deck, and also enjoy sitting outside in the rain. The gazebo is very sturdy and well constructed. I was particularly impressed with the precision; all of the cuts and predrilled holes were bang-on. Everything fit together well! I did the majority of the assembly myself, but there are places where they say you need four people, and you really do need all four people to complete some of the steps. And three step ladders. But follow the instructions and watch the video, and it will go smoothly.
We researched and priced several different options to shade our patio and this by far was the best. The instructions were well written and the videos online were very helpful. I would definitely recommend it!
i would and will definitely recommend this wood pavilion to all my family and friends. no issues out of the box and onto my newly stamped colored concrete.
My husband and I built this structure in a weekend. We only needed the help of a third person getting the roof on. It is a lovely sturdy addition to our patio. It held up fine in a recent 70mph windstorm last weekend. It didn't even shutter during the storm. We've added shades to two sides and ran electrical to it during construction. We plan on hanging a ceiling fan in it in the coming weeks. We only had one issue during the building process. The ridge cap was too tight to slide on easily. I am pretty certain we were off a little on the instal of the roof panels. As a result we crumpled the cap pretty bad trying to force it on. Yardisty customer service was extremely helpful and responded quickly. The gave us advise and sent us a replacement cap NO charge! I had the replacement part within just a few days. I couldn't be more pleased.
