YARDISTRY Assembly Service in California

YARDISTRY pergolas, pavilions, gazebos in FSC-certified cedar — we assemble every size from 10x10 to 14x16. Hardware-grade anchoring, watertight roof installation.

YARDISTRY Assembly Experts

YARDISTRY is the gold standard in cedar outdoor structures — FSC-certified, pre-cut, pre-drilled lumber that goes together cleaner than any other cedar kit. The trade-off: they're heavy (a 12x14 ships in 2,000+ lb of boxes) and the roof panels require two people minimum. We've built 100+ YARDISTRY structures across California and have the rigging, anchors, and ladders to do it safely.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

10x10 to 11x13: 5-8 hours single day. 12x14: 7-10 hours. 14x16 and larger: 10-14 hours or split across two days.
Yes — most ship with cedar-shake or aluminum roof. The Meridian and Pavilion models have full pitched roofs with shingle panels.
We don't recommend it. YARDISTRY structures require a level, anchored base — concrete patio, paver patio, or wood deck. Grass installations fail wind code and warp the structure over time.
Costco has the best pricing on Meridian gazebos and 12x14 pavilions. Sam's Club, Wayfair, Home Depot, and Yardistry.com also stock them.
Yes — YARDISTRY uses FSC-certified Canadian cedar across the lineup. Slightly higher grade than Backyard Discovery's standard cedar.
Most California cities require permits for pergolas attached to homes or over 120 sq ft. Freestanding gazebos under 120 sq ft typically don't. We can advise during the quote.
Louvered pergolas our crews see most

Mirador picks on Amazon, and the premium one that is not

MIRADOR (also sold as SORARA Mirador at Costco) shows up on 39 of the gazebo and pergola records in our booking system, second only to Yardistry. Three families on Amazon, same louvered roof, different frame.

The Standard Mirador
MIRADOR 80S Louvered Pergola
Sizes: 10x10, 10x12, 10x20 (10x12 and 10x20 also sold with a shade screen)
The square-post aluminum louvered pergola most people mean when they say Mirador. 10x12 covers a dining set; 10x20 covers dining plus lounge. Pick the shade-screen version if the low sun hits one side.
Crew note: Our Mirador job sheets run from 8.8x14.4 Costco kits (one pro, roughly three to five hours on a slab) through a 10x12 drilled into a slab in Tustin (two pros, 5.5 hours, TV mount included) to a 12x24 in Murrieta that took two pros. The louvers only run true once the four posts are plumb and the beams are square, so we string-line the base first.

Softer Lines
MIRADOR 111S Round Louvered Pergola Gazebo
Sizes: 10x10 with shade screen, 10x13, 10x20
Same louvered roof on rounded posts and beams. 10x13 is the odd size that fits a pad too long for 10x10 and too short for 10x20. Choose it when the pergola sits in view of the house and square posts look too industrial.
Crew note: Same assembly sequence as the 80S. Rounded extrusions hide the fastener line, so the finished frame reads cleaner, but it also means fewer places to clamp while squaring. Anchoring to a slab is the same drilled base-plate job.

Wood Look, Aluminum Bones
MIRADOR 111S Takasho Louvered Pergola, Cherry Oak wood-look finish
Sizes: 10x10, 10x20
Aluminum louvered roof with a Cherry Oak wood-grain finish on the frame. For cedar fans who do not want to seal wood every year, and for HOAs that ask for a warm finish instead of grey or black metal.
Crew note: A finish, not a different structure: same posts, same louver bank, same anchoring as the 80S. Keep the cartons on until the frame is standing; the wood-look coating scratches more visibly than plain powder coat.

Premium pick, sold direct
PERGOLUX louvered pergolas
Lines: Pergola 4, Pergola 4 Pro Max and the S3 line
The premium louvered pergola people ask us about that is not on Amazon. PERGOLUX sells direct from its own shop: thicker aluminum sections, motorized louvers, integrated lighting and screens as options, and sizes that run larger than the Amazon kits. Buy it direct, and our louvered pergola crews assemble and anchor it anywhere in California. Motorized / Louvered Pergola Installation is $999 in our price book; footings, electrical and screens are quoted on top.

The cedar gazebo our crews build most

Yardistry Meridian picks on Amazon

Yardistry leads our records with 64 mentions, most of them Costco kits. The Meridian line is also on Amazon in every size; these are the sizes that fit this page.

Permit Sweet Spot
Yardistry 10x12 Meridian Cedar Gazebo
The most requested size in our records (66 mentions) and right at the 120 square foot line. A four to six seat dining table fits.
Crew note: Our Loma Linda 10x12 Meridian (Home Depot kit) went up with a rain gutter kit, three pros in about five hours, fan planned for later.
View on Amazon →
The Costco Size We Build Most
Yardistry 12x14 Meridian Cedar Gazebo
57 mentions in our records, the cedar gazebo California buys at Costco more than any other. Dining for six with room to walk around.
Crew note: Our Tustin 12x14 with a privacy wall took three pros; a Sherman Oaks customer ordered three at once with anchors provided. Pre-drilled cedar, hundreds of screws, an impact driver pays for itself.
View on Amazon →
Outdoor Dining
Yardistry 12x16 Meridian Cedar Pavilion
The outdoor-dining size (29 mentions): a long table plus a serving counter or grill zone under the roof.
Crew note: Clovis: homeowners pre-set the piers, one pro, 7.5 hours. Mission Viejo: with anchoring to concrete, two pros, 8 hours. Plan a full day.
