11 x 13 Cedar Carolina Pavilion

Excellent product and great looking

Great kit! Precise cuts, quality hardware and clear, well thought out instructions. The stain appeared to be somewhat thin so I stained every piece prior to assembly, 3 coats. Used Sherwin Williams exterior wood stain. Built on 4" thick concrete that we also stained. Drilled out the supplied post mounting brackets to 1/2" I.D. and used Tapcon 1/2" x 4" masonry anchors, 4 per post to secure structure to slab. We are very satisfied with the finished product.

Very pleased with this pavilion. Well made with quality material. Easy to follow instructions.

The pavilion is fantastic. The reason I gave 3 stars: 1) Paid extra for back yard drop off, which did not happen. 2) This is the main complaint: After 12 cancellations by the sub- contractor Handy, hired a couple Amish guys and they had it up in 7 hours. If you plan on purchasing any of these pavilions, I would recommend getting your own construction crew. Otherwise, the unit is well built and all Pre- drilled holes were spot on. A good investment for shading the deck.

It turned out very nice I stained it and hired someone to put it together he said it went together pretty easy it took him 27 hours he thought it was a well designed product that should last I really like the way it looks and no more awning to worry about.

Product is very high-quality, well designed, and well manufactured. My wife and I were able to assemble and erect the pavilion with just the two of us. But had to put the roof framing up on the post first. Then to assemble the roof when it was already up in order to do it with just the two of us. Highly recommend this product!

There are numerous photos of the finished product so I won’t bother posting mine. When researching this product, I tried to find information or reviews regarding staining/sealing the wood. Although the product arrives with “a factory-applied sealant” it isn’t the same quality that you can expect from doing it yourself. I wanted a darker wood, not the natural color, which looks exactly like lumberyard 2x4s. (Cedar is pine!) I did not sand off the existing “spray-on” sealant and my stain/sealant product was absorbed adequately. I used Olympic Elite in the American Chestnut color. The finish is not furniture quality, but good enough for the outdoors. For reference sake, there are exactly 100 wooden pieces to stain, so it’s more than a weekend project.

Love it, it has increased my entering sq ft!!

So happy with how solid and attractive this gazebo is. It’s going to look even more amazing once my lights and furniture arrive next week. Took my contractor two days to put it up with needing four people to come and finish the roof. It’s heavy. Definitely would recommend.

Great set up for a kit. Instructions were easy to understand and went together well with three people. It’s a nice structure with quality wood.
