Fantastic In Every Way!
on December 7, 2020
Posted by: Mike In MD
from Maryland
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!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I like it BUT
on May 14, 2022
Posted by: Liddie
from Canada
I got it assembled last year October 2021. I was easy to assemble. Not even a year later, all my four posts are cracking. This is very disappointing. I wish I could give it a five star but I can't due to the defective posts. I wish this could be fixed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Liddie,
We are so sorry to hear this about your posts. As with all wood, some checking and small cracks in grain is normal, and this will not affect the structural integrity of the unit. Sometimes, if the hardware is over tightened, this can also lead to cracking in the wood. We do recommend to apply a water sealant on an annual basis to help protect and maintain the wood. Please reach out to us directly at 1-888-509-4382, and we will certainly look into this for you. We want you to be 100% satisfied with your structure.-The Yardistry Customer Experience Team-

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?

Great Quality and ease of assembly
on April 10, 2018

Built structure two years ago and still looks great. Will be restaining and sealing the wood this spring. Structure was easy to assemble but required three extra people to get the roof on and into place. I was able to do assembly mostly by oneself. Two required to put up legs and cross members. Instructions were clear and their videos on line were excellent. Great product and design.

Great Gazebo
on May 29, 2019

Verified Purchase:No
We set up our gazebo on our patio in the backyard. Provides perfect shade and shelter for barbecuing in the rain. Solidly built and aesthetically appealing as well. Hollow posts allowed us to easily run wiring for twinkle lights, providing a great atmosphere at night. Yardistry customer service also amazing. We had a piece crsck about a month after install and they were so helpful and replaced it very quickly.

Had issues at first but it worked out - nice gazebo
on May 16, 2019

from Southern California - Inland
Verified Purchase:No
I bought two of these gazebos because I love the way they look. However, within the first 4 months parts started to crack and split and the issue was growing. I emailed Yardistry and they replaced several of the pieces under their warranty. They were a bit of a pain to replace but it worked out in the end, and Yardistry was pleasant to deal with. I live in Southern California which is typically hot and dry but that year was atypically very wet and we went through several cycles of wet and then hot. I'm sure this didn't help the product even though the parts were treated. In the end, I would buy them again. As a side note, several of the pieces came warped, don't tighten the bolts until you have a lot of the product already together or it can be difficult to assemble.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Value

Great product for the price. Quality kit. Take the time to square everything up to ease assembly. I went ahead and stained the entire kit to match some other pieces in the yard. Took a little more time to assemble because of it. It went together quick and easy. Seems like it will last.

Fun too build
on April 20, 2020
Posted by: Akapaul
from Calgary, Alberta, Canada
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 !
I would recommend this to a friend!
