I feel this is a very nice put to gether gazebo,the protecive coating on aluminum is very hard to remove the time it took to remove it all was about 8 hrs way to long .i also feel the directions should do all the steps on the roof part at once not a little then later more . iwould not ever buy another
We are 97% of the way done. Quality seems to be excellent. We ended up glueing some of the joints, just because we do get some snow loads. The only negative things we have to say is that the directions needed some improvement. Watch the youtube videos! The biggest pain was removing the plastic wraps from the metal pieces. Instructions say to do that when you are ready to assemble. Don't wait. As soon as the box arrives get some friends and patient family members to remove the plastic wrap, store in a safe place. Removing the wrap was definitely the worst part. If you have the space, lay out the pieces in assembly order, read the hardware bag ID's carefully.
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?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Mattttttt,
This is not recommended. Our products have been designed for safety and quality. Any modifications made to the original product could damage the structural integrity of the unit leading to failure and possible injury. Modification of the product will also void any and all warranties.-The Yardistry Customer Experience Team-
Sadly I am unable to give a better review. The product itself is nice, however ours was missing a few pieces. We did not find out until a year and half after purchase since we didn't have it installed until then. When I reached out to the company directly I was told that this was a warranty issue and it was subject to the 1 year limitation. I offered to provide evidence that we just unboxed last week ( paid a professional to come assemble) but they just stuck to the one year warranty stance. So if you purchase, make sure and unbox and do an inventory so you find out if you are missing parts. I am waiting on a quote to see how much I have to pay in addition to the purchase and assembly to resolve.

Hello Holly,
We apologize for this experience. As stated in the manual, the first step of installation is to complete a full inventory of parts. This way, any parts that are missing or damaged, can be sent out in one shipment. There is a 1-year warranty, from date of purchase, to claim any missing or damaged parts.-The Yardistry Customer Experience Team-
