Overall Great unit. Would only recommend experienced builder put this together and be sure to have 4 Men at the point where you install the roof. You could built tilts to help you with is and only need 2 men, but not recommended for Saftey. This is a solid unit when complete.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Really nice Structure. Not too difficult to put together. A couple of the pieces weren't manufactured correctly so we had to order new ones, but other than that, we love it.

Very pleased with ordering & delivery process. Product very well packaged. Great instructions but follow them carefully. Be patient and take your time. Had one small issue with a mis-sized piece of lumber but was replaced easily and quickly. Quite impressed with sizing of all components and NO missing hardware. Finished product looks great.

Some of what we learned might help others. We had fun doing it and the results are spectacular.
My wife and I did 95% of the work in constructing our 12x12 Meridian Gazebo ourselves. As I built the beams and roof panels, she handed me the right screws, and also removed the film from the metal parts, which easily cut the time in half. We recruited a couple of neighbors to help with connecting the posts to the beams and also for raising the roof panels.
I found it better to assemble the long beams/sections and roof sections on our flat concrete patio, as opposed to on a raised table as recommended. It was easy to keep the assemblies straight that way, as opposed to just eying things.
One of the things I wish I had known before starting is that the gussets keep things squared when squaring the beam assemblies to the posts. I drove myself crazy with a tape measure, level and square, going from post to post to try to get things perfectly squared up. As I tweaked one post another would move slightly. Finally I realized that if I leveled and squared one post and then attached the gussets to it, that post stayed in place while moving to do the same thing, post to post.
I used four concrete wedge anchors (3/8 x 3 1/2) per post, which worked well. I sunk them all a bit over two inches deep and then cut off any protruding bolt ends with an angle grinder. (Whenever I use an angle grinder I wear goggles and a mask. No exceptions.)
When attaching the roof panels to the rafter assemblies, I used a battery powered drill that had a variable torque setting, from 1 to 20. A torque setting of 4 or 5 proved perfect, got the screws snug but not overtightened.
For us the hardest part by far was getting the roof panels all connected and squared. We got them up and bolted together in about an hour, and then I spent another two to three hours micro-adjusting to get the corners squared and everything lined up. This part of it was more complicated than I thought it would be, because we had a couple of warped rafter corner boards. I had to install an extra bolt in two of the rafter corner connections to pull the warped pieces into place. I also used C clamps while getting things aligned. Once done everything did line up square and aligned perfectly over the roof to post brackets.
I also had trouble getting one of the four ridge caps on. I had attached one of the eight roof panel ridge clips too tightly over the screws along that edge, so the cap would get caught as I pushed it up. Three went on easily. One was a problem. I ended up finding a long wooden dowel I could use to nudge the ridge clip up as I slid the cap over each bolt head.
