Quick responses, very helpful and fast in providing requested cut list and instructions. HIghly professional company. We ordered the kit and before the parts arrived, we had the complete custom cutlist for our exact size of 18 ft. x 18 ft. solid roofed 4×4 sized octagon gazebo. The parts are of high strength and high quality. All hardware was included with each part. Hardware is of high quality too and coated black.
We were able to erect the main structure and roof framing structure within one day between 2 people. In the second day, we completed the roof deck and shingles and few decorative fence elements.
We are very happy with our new gazebo which will entertain our family and friends for a long time.

Fast delivery attempt but trucker slowed it down. But RioOutdoors was involved and kept me informed throughout. It took 5 days to deliver when original promise was 3 days.
We are very happy with the parts and their quality. They are just as advertised. Heavy duty, easy to work with. Truly simple to assemble. Installation Instructions and cut-list were delivered before parts arrived. All information was clear and accurate. Very happy with end result which I can customize any way that I like.

I bougtht this 4S-0R 13-1/2-17 kit. All parts were of high quality. All screws were included. Parts were packaged properly so no damages. I like that they use smaller boxes stacked on a pallet to ship my order. The shipper unloaded individual boxes and stacked them at my front door. It was very easy to move the boxes in and then to my construction location.
The QR Code on each box works great to see installation video on my phone. If I forget how to assemble a part, I can rescan the QR code to see how to do it. Very nice touch and very informative way.
Cut list and assembly plans were clear and accurate. Overall, RioOutdoors was very good in communicating with me throughout.
This was a big project. So many wood pieces and OSB pieces to prepare. But their assembly and preparation plans were very easy to follow and made my work very organized.
My octagon gazebo is up with its solid roof. Now we will customize it as we go along with lattice fences and other add-ons. It looks awesome! Just like they advertised. I am very happy with this product and will surely consider another wall attached product too.

Very professional company. Thorough and very fast in responses. Parts of high quality and very clever designs to make these gazebos DIY. Their cut list, materials list, and installation instructions make it very very easy for anyone to build the whole gazebo within 2 days. I highly recommend this company and their products.

Love the octagon spider bracket, crosstie brackets, and roof skirt brackets. These parts made my life so easy. I built the whole thing myself and the hardest part was placing the spider with two rafters to start the roof. I got help for this and it went very fast and easy. The remaining framing was very easy to do. I did not feel like I worked hard through this whole build. Very happy with fast results and this fantastic gazebo in our yard.

Couldn’t be easier to build such a grand gazebo. Riooutdoors has made this really easy to build and it is very strong. Loving it!
Brett Davis –
Everything went per the instructions that we downloaded. All lumber pieces were accurate. All roof deck pieces fit easily. The only thing they could do better now is to precut the lumber and plywood and make it a complete kit. I asked them and they said that if they did, just the shipping cost to ship the precut lumber and plywood would run more than $3K. So it makes sense to buy them locally and use DIY labor to cut them using their easy methods.
We are very happy and impressed with this company.

We studied the instruction for 2 weekends before ordering. When the parts arrived, we were ready to start. It took us half a day to get the whole roof structure framed. It was easy to do. Another 1/2 day for roof sheathing installing and 1/2 days for shingles. Very easy to do and enjoyable seeing the results so fast. We love all the joinery parts for this kit. They make all joints super easy and accurate. I agree that this is Smart DIY design. Happy with everything.

Very professional company. Very good parts. Easy to follow instructions. All work was straight forward and planned well. 2 people, 2 days, and our full octagon solid roof gazebo is ready to add furniture and decorations. We are very happy.

Read the instructions and understood the value of each unique part in this kit. There were 6 unique parts to build this octagon gazebo with the solid roof. As I built the structure, it became very clear what each part’s purpose was and why each part was important. No part is more or less important than the other. All parts work in harmony to build this super structure.
2 days into this project, we had the roof shingles completed. That was with me and my brother working together. We were not hurried. We took many breaks throughout.
Now that it is done, I have to compliment Riooutdoors and their engineers for making this a true DIY kit. Thank you guys for such great service and supporting documents that you have provided. I am a total fan.
