I bought and installed this last summer on a small elevated deck area.

First, it came in 3 large boxes, the boxes are numbered but the numbers don't correlate to stages, so the very first thing you should do is lay out and group all similar pieces and make sure you have all the hardware. Yes this takes time upfront but it saves a ton of time in assembly.

We actually laid all ours out in a 2 car garage to do most of the subassemblies, which are: pillars (4), side rails (4) and roof pieces (4). Once the pillars and rails were done, we moved them to the deck and assembled them before moving onto the roof pieces.

My 12 year old daughter helped. This method worked very well - she would find the next pieces to use and hardware, and I'd be the one assembling it, and she'd help when needed. This meant we spent less time finding pieces (e.g. stopping actual assembly) and more time actually getting it put together. Of course laying out all the pieces ahead of time helped the actual assembly go much smoother. Lay out all the hardware on a LARGE tray (I have some old commercial cookie trays that work great for this kind of thing) and keep the hardware in its original bag so you can reference a part # when needed.

Use battery tools with torque limiters when you can; this will greatly speed up assembly, especially for the roof pieces that have hundreds of screws. Especially with those pieces, if you torque them too much it dents the aluminum.

Other tips:
- the pillars and rails are assembled, then the roof pieces (in sub assemblies) are put up. This step recommends you have a team of people helping, but if you don't have that, a long 2x4 or other sturdy piece of wood can be used to support the lone roof subassembly while you maneuver the second one in place. Use screws to secure it to the roof piece. Once the second piece is up, screw them together and to the structure frame to prevent them from moving. This might be jumping ahead in assembly a bit, but will help you a lot unless you have access to several tall ladders and people
- IIRC a the labeling on a couple of the pillars wasn't correct with regards to left and right and I had to use some common sense to determine where these went
- You will have a LOT of hardware left over.
- Removing the protective plastic from the aluminum is a huge PITA, it doesn't pull off very easily nor in one sheet. Be sure to wear gloves for that as that shit is sharp.

All-in-all, if we had done it in one day, it would have taken a solid 10 hours or so. As I said, day 1 we got the structure up and all the roof panels assembled. Day 2 we put the roof panels up and finished the tie in. There's a decent amount of work left after the roof panels are up, too.

I wound up installing a ceiling fan (a real one not a shitty battery powered one) and lights with waterproof switches.

Check in your area on marketplace or similar for people that do this sort of thing. Believe it or not, there are people that specialize in just assembling these kit-type homeowner projects like gazebos and playscapes. In fact, even though I did mine myself (and a playscape also from Costco), I turned on a local high school kid that does landscape work for me to also assembling these things. Many hands make light work so a group of 4 people with duplicate tools could really hammer out one of these quickly.

Finally, I bought mine around May 2022, I want to say I paid around $1400-1500. Over the course of the summer I got 2 price adjustments or buy/returns and eventually the gazebo wound up costing me about $1000. I did the same for the playscape. Even if the purchase is outside the 30 day PA policy, just kindly walk up to CS, ask for a PA, and when they balk, tell them you're going to haul one up to a register (typically they will keep these kitted on carts already), buy it, then immediately return it at the higher price and how that's a total waste of everyone's time. They will usually just process a phantom buy/return right there for you.
I assembled this exact one last summer. It comes with everything you'll need. But a good handyman DIY experience or anyone with construction experience is even better. It's def not for the faint of heart and you'll need at least 3/4 people to help with the roof assembly
Wish they had an assembly option like sams

Costco has the Yardistry 12'X14' Grand Gazebo on sale for $500.00 off. $1399.99 in store or $1599.99 shipped to your driveway. This is a fantastic, well made, gazebo that comes pre-stained and has a metal roof. It's like a giant Lego kit for big kids.
I just purchased/built one and I am quite impressed with the quality and strength of this unit. Be warned, it comes in 3 large boxes that are over 200 pounds each and will take some time to build but it's so worth it.

I bought a playset from Walmart years ago that was basically similar to this where I thought it would come with everything, but when I got it, I had to still buy some items to complete it- I think like a package of screws, bolts, and the climbing rope.
Does this come with everything? I didn't see anything mentioned in the specs on the page.

It's a great price! I bought mine for 1699 on clearance. End of the season. Apparently it's even cheaper now!

Good points! I'm pretty handy but due to time constraints and work requirements I hired someone to build mine. He brought over a couple of extra people just to help put the roof pieces in place.

I also had it leveled, anchored, gutters added, and tied into my existing gutter system. All on a freshly poured concrete slab. My old slab was too small and it was cracked. Decided to remove the old and install a larger one.

You can contact Yardistry and they can recommend folks in your area to do the build. That's even better since they've probably build several already and are familiar with the build.

It comes with everything you need to build the gazebo. All the holes are pre-drilled and all of the fasteners are included. It's like 85 pieces of wood and around 1000 fasteners.

The only fasteners it does not include are the 16 anchor bolts you may need to secure it to the ground. Those depend on what you are fastening it to…..concrete, deck, the ground….

How thick did you pour the cement and how long were the anchors?
Thanks

The patio is a standard 4" thick. However, I had them install 4 deeper footers where the legs were supposed to sit. They are a little over a foot square, for some wiggle room, and about 8-10" deep. We used 3/8" X 3" Red Head concrete anchors.

Do you attach to the side of your house? How much did the install cost?

It's right outside my sliding door anchored to the new concrete patio slab. I replaced the old slab because it had a crack and it was too small.

The basic assembly was quoted at $600. This didn't include things I added afterwards like leveling, anchoring and installing the gutter system. There is a gutter system made for the gazebo that you can get via Costco for $379.99. However, I wanted to tie into my existing gutter system that drains all the water away from the house through underground piping.

How much do gazebo seller ask for a similar one. I rather not take the risk because you need to know what you are doing or hire a Handyman who actually did one of these before.. Otherwise it's really draw of the luck of the guy will make it right or just install it like Kramer installed Air Conditioner

I think you're asking how much would it cost to have one built from scratch for you? I would venture to guess about 4K for something similar in this area. You might get it for a bit less but it may not be constructed very well.
