It was very easy to assemble this DIY kit. Cut list and Instructions provided by RioOutdoors were accurate and very easy to follow. The main structure and roof framing work took about 4 hours. The floor deck took about 6 hours, and the roof deck and shingles took another 6 hours. This was with 2 people working. We definitely recommend this kit to everyone.

Well designed parts. Very good DIY support with excellent preparation steps and installation instructions. Everything is executed very well by this company. Our parts arrived on time. We preped and started assembly on Saturday AM. Sunday PM, we had the roof finished. Very impressive structure and large living space. Very happy with this project.
Adrian Brown –
It was a lot of work to build this gazebo. But the work was straight forward and all parts fit well. We spent most the time in perparing all lumber pieces and plywood pieces. Assembling went very fast. Very good parts and very detailed instructions. Very happy with the whole experience of DIY building.
Jared Johnson –
This company made it appear very easy to build this structure on their website. They did not disappoint. All parts are of high quality and made well. They fit properly and worked exactly as they said. 2 people, 2 days to finish main structure with roof. The deck took another day. Very happy with end result. Looks awesome and provides tons of space for entertainment.

Happy with quick delivery of our order. Arrived within 5 days after ordering. All parts are thick, heavy, and look well made. The instruction were a great help in organizing our work and breaking down preparaiton work in phases. Every part fit easily and correctly. The main framing of lower structure was very easy. Roof structure was busy work but quite easy as well. If you spend time to cut each wood piece correctly, then the whole structure will go up very easily and fit together properly. If you are sloppy in our prep work, you will fight with yourself later. So be patient during prep work, test cut scrap wood before cutting the main headers, rafters, cross tie beams, and roof skirt. We are very impressed with this DIY kit and its instructions. Our floating pavilliion look and great and is large enough for all funiture and a bar.
