Backyard Discovery Arcadia 12'x9.5' Cedar Wood Gazebo, Galvanized Steel Roof, PowerPort

I recently purchased the 14x12 Arcadia Gazebo and couldn’t be happier—it’s not only beautiful but incredibly sturdy and well-built. At 67, I assembled it myself with just a couple of simple braces I made, which speaks to how user-friendly it is. I was so impressed that I bought the 12x9.5 Arcadia to expand my patio setup. For anyone in the Midwest, especially Ohio, this is the perfect solution. The wind rating and snow load are exactly what we need for our harsh winters. I compared it to the options at my local big box stores, but they couldn’t match the strength and specifications required for our climate. Backyard Discovery delivered exactly what I needed—highly recommend!

My sons and I assembled the cover over a two-day period and had no issues with how all the components fit together. In past experience with structures like this, we always found issues with holes not being drilled in correct spots or something else not fitting the way it should. In this case, we followed the instructions (which were well written and illustrated) and did not have anything not fit as it should.

We bought this a month ago and love it, added a run off gutter, installed a TV, installed patio lights, and started to decorate with signs, clock, ceiling fan, etc. Its real sturdy and anchored to the patio concrete. Would recommend to anyone considering a good product to purchase the Backyard Acadia.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very sturdy and well built! Easy to follow instructions. Quality control is very good. Extra screws and bolts. And if you need touch up stain to fix minor scratches or marks they are happy to send it to you. I would definitely it from them again. If you live in a windy area this is the Gazebo for you.

All shipping and support exceeded expectations. The assembly was not too difficult and the alignment of holes between boards was amazing. On the Roof Assembly (Step 25) I would suggest modifying the 3rd tip: "Layout all roof sections to center and determine equal gaps BEFORE any screws are used." I had a false start and needed to remove screws and adjust. Would be great to see what others have done with their Gazebo. I'm now trying to figure out lights over my grill and smoker and perhaps an exhaust fan.

I’m very satisfied with my purchase. All the hardware and instructions made it very easy to assemble. The cuts are perfect fit and the quality is great. Best of all my wife and kids love it and enjoy it and I can grill anytime and my family can enjoy lounging on our free time.

Great quality! Follow the instructions and recruit a few friends. It took two days at a steady pace for two seniors. Thrilled that a few extra pieces of hardware were included “just in case”. A play structure for the grandkids might be the next purchase.

Already had this unit for 2 months and it has been such a great addition outdoor area. We live in South Florida and needed a gazebo over the newly updated BBQ area to protect it from the sun and the rain. Once the gazebo was completely up you can feel how sturdy and solid it sits on the surface without having secure it against the wall, it can free stand with no additional support. After an extensive research this unit by far proved to be the more high quality gazebo and the assembly instructions were very easy to follow with all hardware clearly marked. This has transformed the backyard to even a better space in our home and enhancing the look of outdoor space. Some of our visitors have been so impressed by it that they are planning to add one to there outdoor space.

Great kit. Totally happy with the finished product. Put it together really quick by myself but spent at *least* 50% of the entire build time pealing the plastic coating off of the roof pieces. That sucked. Almost have it one star but my wife and I just sat under the gazebo staying dry in the rain. That was lovely. Also...at least for people to put the roof up safely.

Wonderful product. Easy to put together. Parts all well marked. Shipping is an issue. Notified me of delivery date...was two weeks away. Ok, no problem. Delivery date comes...no delivery...no contact. After I contact them, I am scheduled for next delivery in another two weeks.
