from Birmingham, AL
Verified Purchase:No
There are 3 boxes that I strapped into my truck. All pieces were included and were in good shape. Al holes lined up. Assembly took several days for my son and me but we were interrupted by rain, work etc. I love this. It is very sturdy and it looks great. I recommend it. This is a quality kit.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Pavilion w/minor issues
on September 24, 2019
Posted by: Gary W
from Mesa, AZ
Verified Purchase:No
This pavilion took me about four days to complete working mostly by myself except for assistance with the roof panels (recommend 4 people for this step). I could have finished earlier except I chose the hottest week of the summer in Arizona to assemble it and couldn't work all day. The only major issues I encountered were warped and twisted rafters, and unfortunately they were the end rafters which resulted in difficulty squaring the roof panels. I was able to work through the twists by using some creative clamping. I can't stress enough how important it is to make sure your roof sections are square - take the extra time to check and double check. Other than that, the assembly process was very straight forward and the directions were quite easy to follow along. When my boxes were originally delivered they were missing all of the hardware (screws, nuts, bolts, washers). I contacted Yardistry customer service and they put the missing items in the mail that day, and I received them two days later. I placed my pavilion on a travertine patio with footers at each corner. I attached the posts to the footers with 3/8" x 5" wedge anchors. The finished product is great, and I have received nothing but compliments from friends and neighbors. It is very solid and well constructed, I couldn't be happier. I ran electric to the pavilion and installed a fan, lights, speakers, and several GFI outlets. I would highly recommend this pavilion if you're thinking of buying one

Beautiful pavilion love it!

Really easy to assemble with one person. You will need two extra people to lift the roof panels. Quality is excellent and would highly recommend. My only complaint is the shipping charges for replacement or damaged parts.

Great value, solid construction
on May 13, 2020

from Purcellville, VA
Description: the description and online photos are 100% accurate. As described, the structure is super solid and pre-drilled holes are spot on.
Price: excellent price considering the quality of the product.
Packing: it comes in 4 boxes strapped to one 4x8 pallet. The pieces are well packed and easy to inventory. The only annoying thing was peeling all the plastic wrapping off the metal pieces (overkill).
Assembly: it went very smoothly. I needed 2 additional people to get the initial steps completed to get the structure established. Then I didn’t need help until putting the roof sections into place. It took just over 1 day (14 hours) to assemble the structure. I lost a lot of time peeling the plastic wrap off the metal pieces.
Of note: Keep in mind this is an outdoor structure, so the corners and long boards connect with small gaps and moderately flush. Regardless, the structure is super solid and rain doesn’t not penetrate the roof AT ALL...dry everywhere underneath during a rain storm.

Perfect Addition to Our Backyard!
on May 19, 2020
Posted by: scorz77
from Mesa, AZ
I've wanted this gazebo for over a year now, but I had to get the "boss" to approve. She finally caved and let me buy it a few weeks ago! I ordered it online and picked it up a week ago. It's been completed now for 2 days and all I can say is I love it!
Our backyard is not very big at all and our covered patio just wasn't enough. When we had a paver patio installed last summer, it gave us more entertainment room, but without any kind of shade, it didn't allow us to do much, especially in the hot summer sun of Phoenix. I'm glad I finally was able to purchase this gazebo and allow our family to enjoy the backyard year round!
Construction is not for everyone. I work in the building materials industry and I have some extensive DIY experience, but this wasn't easy. The directions, at times, were hard to follow because there were some grammatical errors. And then some of the wood was warped (one of the side beams was warped, as well as a few of the of roof rafter beams), which made it difficult to fasten. Overall, I thought the construction was pretty straight-forward.
The quality of the gazebo is excellent! I feel it's extremely sturdy and will stand the test of time. My wife already put on a coat of stain/sealer to darken the wood a little bit and it looks great! We'll be adding a fan and some string lights in the coming weeks.
Overall: AWESOME PRODUCT!!! 4-Star Review only because of the warped wood and slight difficulty understanding installation instructions.

Fantastic In Every Way!

Posted by: Mike In MD

I built a stand alone hot tub deck and planned it out to accommodate the 10x10 Meridian Gazebo. It has worked perfectly. The gazebo was was nicely packed, all the parts were there, and even included a few extra screws and bolts. The instructions are decent, but the video online is extremely helpful to fill in information gaps. I built it and my wife helped me put the roof on. This is a minimum two adult job to fully assemble the roof. The more hands the better, but it can be done with two people. So far, the quality of the gazebo is top notch. We have crazy winds here sometimes and it has not budged (properly secured to the deck). Also, when we purchased, Yardistry didn’t make 10 foot shelf option, so I bought the 12 foot shelf and cut it down to size to fit. The stain color is slightly different, but we’re ok with that. We live out little oasis!

Question - Please Answer
on April 15, 2025
Posted by: Mattttttt
from Washington
I live in a neighborhood with an HOA and we needed approval to build this gazebo and were denied since it has an aluminum/metal roof and they require the gazebo to have shingles for the roof material.
Is this an option for me to buy the material separately from a 3rd party and just discard the aluminum/metal roof material and use different material to put shingles on the roof instead?
