I have been looking for a Gazebo for a couple of months. There were a couple on display at Costco but they were out stock
I was in the Home Depot store in Alhambra, CA to purchase so items for the house last month. There was a Yardistry Gazebo 10 by 10 by 10 on display. The assistant store manager walked over. He asked if I was interested in purchasing the Gazebo? I said yes. He said he could have it delivered it to my home in about three weeks. I purchased the Gazebo. About five days later I received a call from Delivery Department telling me the delivery was scheduled for the next day. The truck arrived the next day. The driver delivered three large wooden boxes each weighing about 200 pounds each.
I tried to contact installer from Costco but the telephone line was busy for a couple of days. I made arrangements with another installer the night before by emails. I call the next day about noon and he said he didnt remember scheduling an appointment with me. I contacted Yardistry for a list of installers. Their nearest installer was about 60 miles away. The installer price was above average. There was a large nationwide company that has installer in every state. There is an online form to complete. Schedule an open date. Complete the form submit it with your payment. There were mixed reviews of the company. I found other companies that installation prices were 50 to 75% of the average normal price. There were plenty of places to find installer.
I contacted Shordies Maintenance & Remodeling. I reviewed some of their jobs and rating. They specialize in woodwork, repairing furniture, cabinets and some outside wood job. They had assembled Gazebo before. Their prices were reasonable. They showed on time with all their tools and equipment to complete the job. The gross weight of the Gazebo Is just under 600 pounds. They carefully inspected all the parts and the wood. Some of the wood was a little off at the joints but they were able to work around the problems to complete secure connections.
