Got this last year for same price on sale. It was a pain to put together but is gorgeous.
Now a year later in the hot CA sun the wood seems to be splitting on the posts. I have long term concerns over this but unrealistic to disassemble and return. Beware
Agreed. A full day for 2 people. A 3rd or 4th person when installing the roof will be handy.
Marketplace/CL are good places to find people that assemble these. It's surprising to most people that there are businesses that ONLY serve to assemble these DIY things like gazebos, play sets, etc. Long story short, I have a high school kid that does lawn stuff for me (grunt work like clearing land, spreading mulch, etc) and after he noticed me putting up one of these (and a playset later in the summer), he got into installing them on the side. Perfect job for industrious and responsible youngsters.
I just bought 12x14 Yardistry from Costco. Started yesterday with my wife and we are 1/2 way done. Now the roof... I will need to beef up before this task lol
Bc the labor price would be more then the gazebo for them to make a profit...by all accounts it's a 8-10hr for experienced folks. 2 days for novice

We have a paver patio in our back yard, and the pavers aren't all 100% level. Would this still be easy to DIY? Just not sure about the best way to anchor something like this into the ground.

Same issue here. One year later in CA and noticed some wood splitting on the legs. I sent Yardistry a picture and my concerns and they said they can replace the leg lol. Other than that, they said there should be no safety concerns. No clue if that's true but it's a huge vertical split/line.

Thus each post legit has open unused holes, from the factory.
Obvi water ingress etc could be an issue, leaving the home owner to glue in a dowel and seal etc.
Can ne1 confirm? Bc thats annoying
