Loving It! Strong and nice to look at!

We ordered the 10 x 11 gazebo and so happy we did! My husband put most of it together with a little help and we decided to hire someone to install the roof because it was too much for one or two people to handle and everything fit together perfect! Our cats are loving it as much as we are because it provides good shade for them to take their summer naps!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sturdy and nice quality. Installation was easy and quick. Only reason this is not 5 stars is due to the protective film on the sheet metal roof. The film would not come off cleanly and I went multiple hours peeling it all off. Would probably not recommend based on the film which is weird because I am rating overall really high.

Very well designed and constructed. The installation took about 24 hours over a couple of weekends working mostly by my self, until it came time to install the roof panels.

Beware of the plastic film!!!
Bought the 12x14 meridian gazebo through Rona in the spring of 2025. Took a long time to assemble but the instructions, pre-drilled holes, hardware, etc all worked perfectly. It has been set up for a few months now and I love it, but I can't give it 5 starts and I can't recommend to friends because I had such a hard time peeling the plastic film off the roofing material. It honestly took me as long to do that as it did to assemble the wooden parts. The plastic is TOO sticky, it breaks off in small pieces and leaves a sticky residue on the metal. You spend an hour peeling it off of one sheet of metal and then you realize you have to do it again ON THE OTHER SIDE! It was arduous and frustrating and really soured my experience. It's a manufacturing defect that Yardistry needs to resolve to ensure continued customer satisfaction with this product. Other than that, the gazebo is great.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very sturdy and easy on the eyes. I ordered it unfinished with Charwood stain (They just sent me the stain. I thought it would come stained in the color I requested).

Plastic coating on parts is ridiculous.

Material is good. Plastic on the aluminum takes 3 people 5 hours to remove, then leaves massive amounts of residue that takes days to clean off….. one side!!! Got it off with rubbing alcohol, 3 bottles. Instructions are not super clear, unlike the lovely greenhouse we go elsewhere. It will take another few days to get the residue off the inside panels. Looks pretty, but the plastic needs to be changed to foam or some other way of protecting the metal.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Overall pretty. Warning on all the sheet metal.

I purchased back in mid July 2025. The quality of fitment was just ok. The long rafter sections where bolts together, those joints weren't straight. Oh, and all the plastic shrink wrap that's on every single piece of aluminum roof panels, and all trim, i spent 2 weeks peeling. Youll need alot of patience. I mean a lot. The job was moving along, come to time for sheetmetal, it comes to a dead stop!!! So just a honest review and giving you all a fair warning before you decide to purchase. Also, if i may add, dont rely on the 3 bolts that are 1/4" on each rafter joint. Especially if it snows where you live. I shot heavy duty decking screws 12" apart where all rafters meet/join together. I also recommend to buy it already stained. Mine came in the yellow cedar color. I spent a few weekends getting everything stained and do it before you start to assemble. All just tips. Dont be me. Im trying to help make it easier on the next fella that is thinking of buying.
