Costco Has An Aluminum Gazebo For $1,000 Off, But The Deal Won't Last Long
Have astronomical gas prices put a halt on road trip plans this summer? Instead of packing the car to the gills and hitting the highway, take what you'd spend on the trip — or maybe even less — and invest in a backyard upgrade that'll provide you an outdoor getaway for the whole summer and more. Costco's 12 foot by 24 foot Yardistry Gazebo looks like something that costs twice its normal price of $4,699. Still not an enticing deal? Costco can help you stay within budget by knocking $1,000 of the gazebo's original price. However, you've only got until May 31, 2026 to take advantage of this sale.
The Yardistry Gazebo stands on six rustic wooden posts reinforced at the roofline with two curved gussets per post. All wood is 100% Forest Stewardship Council certified and stained a neutral mocha brown. Capped off with a Montana bronze-colored aluminum roof, when the gazebo is in place, its looks will belie its bargain club origins. The gazebo is only available online, and delivery is included with your purchase.
The imagination reels with ideas for how to use the Yardistry Gazebo to turn your backyard into an oasis. Arrange outdoor sofas and armchairs on a patio rug living room-style. String hammocks between the posts or porch swings from the rafters. Clap up a few walls on the posts, either with a purchased slatted gazebo wall or with added privacy you can DIY. Owners of compact cars or golf carts may even be able to slip a tiny vehicle under one side of the gazebo and save the other for outdoor living.
The Yardistry Gazebo's price doesn't include a few details
Huge discount or not, there are a few important things to consider before you add this product to your online shopping basket. At 12 feet wide and twice that long, the gazebo is colossal and might require a costly permit to install it. Definitely check any HOA regulations before making the investment.
It is possible to anchor gazebos securely in a lawn, but homeowners typically place them on a concrete slab, pavers, or decking. If you don't have a prepared base, having one installed can nearly double your investment. Having a concrete slab poured can set you back upwards of $3,600. A 12 foot by 24 foot pressure-treated pine platform deck might be feasible for around $2,000. The gazebo kit comes with instructions for securing the posts into a variety of surfaces, including concrete and decking, but it doesn't come with anchoring hardware. All of the gazebo's components are pre-drilled to simplify assembly. Still, it's not that easy to install Costco's gazebo kit, and it's definitely not a one-person job. Many Yardistry Gazebo reviewers hire a team to construct it and mount it into the ground. One reviewer shared that they were able to tackle the task over a couple of weeks, doing so in chunks of a few hours at a time with a friend. To lend their customers a hand, there are plenty of online videos that some reviewers have found very useful.
Still, 83% of the Yardistry Gazebo's reviews are five stars. Despite additional work and expenses, a majority of shoppers have been extremely pleased with the product.
